CARBON FIBER Honda Z600

[CamNismo]

I found these pics on a Japanese website and I thought they were worth sharing....one is just what a stock Honda Z600 looks like and the others are the All Carbon Fiber Z600 with a Hayabusa Engine.....Look how small the car is comapred to the CRX beside it, and a CRX is small...

wow...

[aiasib]

coool, any idea how much the whole thing weighs?

[nota]

My best mate's mum bought a metallic purple 360cc Honda Zot brand new and kept it for 11 years. It was a trusty little family runabout and I got to drive it plenty - iirc the V-max was 72 mph @ 7,000 rpm

I've also driven a Scamp 360N with the 2-speed Hondamatic auto - don't ask

Looks like an awesome little thing. Only thing that pisses me off is the huge spoiler up front.

looks like a mini Porsche. its alright except the front spoiler.

Selling hayabusa engines must be good business for Suzuki, people seems to put them into all kind of things/cars.

Gotta be a hoot to drive, but does that thing even count as a Honda anymore? :D

Some might say it's more Honda than ever...

Anyone else notice that the engine is in the passenger seat? :D Amazingly awesome for F/R weight distribution, but makes you wonder about left/right balance.

The spoiler is probably necessary... that car's gotta weigh nearly nothing, and the engine's mid mounted. It needs something to hold the front down.

Hey guys I did a little research on this and found a bit of INFO...

160 HP Hayabusa powered, custom tube frame chassis, full carbon fiber one piece body. 1100lbs

I found a Video on Youtube of it, but it was its first time on the track, which was just an AutoCross event and it didnt have the wings on it and it just took it easy around the track for some reason so it wasnt an exciting video....here are some more pics though.....

it'd be more honda with a fireblade engine

This is one of the finest things I've ever seen. *tears forming*

[digitalcraft]

Hmm, I think the most you can say is its built to resemble a Honda.

I doubt the engine is much heavier than most drivers and would certainly not disturb the balance as much as a driver in a regular car.

The Bus engine would be in the 80-100kg range, so you're probably right.

Reminds me of the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Pikes Peak racer!

That just seems ridiculous but awesome at the same time.

[ruim20]

It isn't a Honda or anything else... it's a tubular chassis with a carbon fiber cover resembling a Honda... there probably ins't a single part there that came from the 600.

Still looks fun, and the weight distribution is perfect :)

It looks awesome except for the front spoiler and they should have left the lights in it.
F1 V8's weight 95kilos, imagine if they put one of those in this. This alsoweighs about that same as an f1 car

[Fiorano]

the thing is what part of the original car is there?
only a mold of the body and that has been chopped and channeled...
Oi!

wicked though

[kennyknoxville]

thats one bad looking car. love it

[f6fhellcat13]

bad=good=win?

[kennyknoxville]

they should fuel that car with antimatter and thatll do like 13.3 seconds a quarter mile
