Smart Car with Suzuki Motorcycle Engine
Looking for Smartuki Agents
Smartuki are currently looking for worldwide agents and manufacturing partners. Please use the contact link if you think you might be interested.

Developing new kit for Smarts after 2007
We are currently developing a modified kit to fit the new model Smart. This will be complete very soon and will use the later (2006 onwards) GSXR1000 engines.

Available as a Kit, Components or Complete Car
Here it is, the original GSXR 1000 bike engined Smartuki. This conversion was originally designed by Z-Cars who then sold the design and rights due to their workload on other projects.

Take one tiny little Smart car, remove the rather sad and under powered little engine and replace it with something more interesting from a high performance motorcycle and voila 160+ BHP, 12,500 RPM and a six speed sequential gearbox.

Whilst that may be a little over simplified, the conversion is a very professionally finished package capable of embarrassing cars costing ten times as much. Take a look at the pictures, they speak for themselves. The motorcycle engine is fitted into a custom sub-frame and occupies the original engine bay in the back of the car. Taking this route has maintained the car's interior comfort and practicality. Supercar performance with space for a passenger and shopping. Even the ABS is maintained!

If that is not enough, the Suzuki GSXR is one of the worlds most popular tuned motorbikes. There is a huge catalogue of performance tuning parts available for anyone that needs that little bit more. Conventional tuning with ignition, cams, fuel injection mapping etc can increase the horsepower to over 190 BHP. Add a Turbo and or Nitrous (N20) kit and 300+ BHP is a realistic possibility. We are planning to build a nitrous enhanced Smart Roadster Coupe in the future and we’ll take it to the drag strip to show it off. Watch out for the video soon.

Result? The stunningly quick and agile Smartuki.

Supercar performance at superbike price, 0-60 in under 5 Seconds!
Massive tuning potential for those that need even more.
Superbike/F1 howling exhaust note is priceless!!
Cheaper insurance than any performance car
Dryer in the rain than any superbike
You won’t end up in the hedge because of a diesel spill
You can take a passenger and the shopping
You still have the seatbelts the airbags and ABS
Road tax only £90/yr
Park in the same space as a bike

This is just amazing!!!!! It also looks like a lot of fun to drive...

I want one.

Would probably need a second job just to keep tires on it, but I want one.

That'll be the only way I'll ever be seen in a Smart.

This is a no-compromise vehicle. You can fly through traffic at high speed in an unstable, compact vehicle without giving up the experience of flying through the windshield of a car when you crash.

Bah, that's amateur hour, you've got to bring the windshield to you by crashing into the ass end of an 18-wheeler!
