The high-powered lightweight engine in the Hayabusa lends itself to non-motorcycle applications. The Westfield Megabus is an English sports car, based on the Lotus Seven, which uses the Hayabusa engine. Suzuki was the first to put the motorcycle’s engine in a car, with two concept cars in 2001, the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX-R/4 roadster and the Formula Hayabusa, an open-wheel race car “designed for a new Japanese one-make competition series.
Speed Test
Mike Akatiff’s 2004 land speed record attempt TOP 1 Ack Attack streamliner used twin Hayabusa engines in an attempt to exceed 483 km/h (300 mph) at Bonneville Salt Flats. In 2006 and again in 2008 Akatiff’s Ack Attack, ridden by Rocky Robinson, succeeded, first going 552 km/h (342.797 mph) in 2006, only to be surpassed two days later, then returning in 2008 to set another new record of 581 km/h (360.913 mph). That record stood until 24 September 2009, when it was broken by Chris Carr with a speed of 591 km/h (367.382 mph).
