TwinTech Harley Custom Sports Car not Suzuki Hayabusa
This car/bike was designed and build by Dave Piontek and Jay Novak. It’s powered by a 120″ V-twin Harley Davidson engine. Power is at 120HP and weight is 1100#. See a high quality video and more at www.funcar.com. Also a Suzuki GSXR powered sports car!
Probably in excess of $20K.

Been there, done that. Check out my Sport Tech at my website listed above.

I don’t recommend you do this conversion. The Miata is to heavy for a bike engine.

Cool - high revving, sweet sound, and good gas mileage.
How much would it costs, approx, to swap out my engine from my Miata to a motorcycle engine?

The Morgan was definitely an inspiration. But an extra wheel and an extra 80hp hasn’t hurt the concept!
Comment by TwintechV — December 15, 2009 @ 10:25 am
this is actually twintech’s modern remake of the old
Morgan 3 Wheel design.
type in “Morgan 3 wheel” to see the similarity in design.

i always wanted to do this but in a regular mini car it would sound awesome going down the road

Strongly resembles the Ariel Atom.

While this is really cool… A sport bike motor could easily put out at least another 40-50 horsepower and get better gas mileage. I dunno, different strokes for different folks I guess. I would have gone rear engine and Hayabusa power personally… Then again that’s what I “would do,” you actually put your money where your mouth is and did it. Good job.

I have always considered Harley vtwin motors as well as other vtwins to be like small block chevy motors in their performance and sound and attitude they bring to the road, but putting a vtwin into a lightweight 4 wheeled chassis? Simply awesome. Where do I sign up for one with a 5/8 scale 32 ford roadster body????

Hi Cofer-engineering-robotics here in Tunnel Hill GA. Runs as well as my 80cube Roadking. What kinda transaxle is that in the rear? NEAT TOY.. Makes me want to finish the CCR Tbucket frame here. I think I like it better than a Trex. Neat build.

It’s a Facet low pressure pump with a bypass to simulate gravity feed.

It sounds GREAT!

To the poster of the video, I’d recommend you check out dpcars [dot] net. Guy named Dennis Palatov, with similar scratch-built-car ideas, but a different goal.
Congrats and keep up the good work.

If I could keep my foot out of it, about 35 mpg, but it’s too much fun to not to use all 120 horses so I get about 25.
Comment by TwintechV — December 15, 2009 @ 10:25 am
what kind of fuel economy does it get?
