What do these two vehicles have together? The engine! Rally-Ass Niki Schelle took a pouring Suzuki Swift and planted him the heart of a racing motorcycle. Result of the intersection: The sharpest Swift of all time. From Michael GOrmann

If the phone is ringing at night, it must be important. Or a fun bird. When it rings with ex-rally driver Niki Schelle, it’s a bit of both. At the other end, Christian Andersen and JOrg Machalitzky, in the best mood after a long trade fair evening. The two Suzuki managers have a question: "Tell me, Niki, what would you do when we give you a Swift and say: Make something out of it."

Niki Schelle, who can not sleep anyway that night, do not need to superior long. And not much time to implement his ideas.

Racingemmel first kind

Only three months later is the result. It knows, hisses and pijection like a rally car, and who dares to put it in, experienced his yellow miracle.

The SWIFT "ì la clichel" is a racingemmel first kind. Outwardly inconspicuous, only an oversized rear spoiler at the top of the roof reveals him.

Under the sheet, the car is completely gutted. A frame made of arm-thickened steel pipes holds the bodywork and the small engine together. The drive also has with the series SWIFT (1.6 L, 136 hp, 18.990 euros) nothing more mean.

Donor heart: The little thing in the middle is the engine. He comes from a Hayabusa superbike and was supplemented by a turbocharger. The series SWIFT was completely gutted and welded to a steel pipe frame. Pure racing

Schelle used in the choice of the drive in another shelf of the Japanese vehicle manufacturer – at the motorcycles. A Hayabusa sports machine took off her 1.3 liter heart and planted it to the SWIFT in the stern. "Because motorcycle engines are not as much designed for torque, we have set a turbo on top of that," says the former rally driver, who took part in 2002 on Suzuki at the World Cup. Result: 0.3 liters less capacity as moms normal Swift, but 330 hp. In implementation, the English service provider helped ZCARS.

Japan loves the "Formula Hayabusa"

A car with motorcycle engine – the idea is not so absorbent, as it seems first. In Japan there has been a "Formula Hayabusa" for years – light racing cars with moped machines. And Zcars has already pitched minis with motorcycle engines on acceleration monsters.

So pure in the yellow dwarf! Shell seats with suspenders are waiting for two daring. From the matt black Cockpit (because of the reflection) are looking at motorcycle instruments. Otherwise: Much naked sheet metal.

Up to the gas! The turbocharger sits the driver directly in the neck. He whists and hisses with the released engine around the bet. He turns to 10.000 Tours – and sounds like the atrium to hell.

Clear the path: The order got Niki clamp, 48, at night on the phone. The result he now shows on the Hockenheimring

A real race car, a wild beast with blocking differential, adjustable chassis and a huge lever for the hydraulic handbrake. This thing makes mood. So much we could find out on the Hockenheimring itself. If any other car is done in any other car: you enter the clutch quite normally, but then must then press small buttons in the starter in the steering wheel spokes. Right up and left – by the way – sequentially, so a walk after one another, because the gearbox comes from the motorcycle.

The Hayabusa SWIFT will unfortunately stay a single piece. Because this is not possible. The clutch is about 50 kilometers in the car – but they really have it in themselves.
