It's time for some more ZCars madness. Last year we met my mate Dave and his incredible Honda Civic Type R powered Classic Mini ( • EPIC Civic Type R VTEC... . Today he has brought me two very special Fiat 500s from ZCars. In this first part we experience the totally bonkers 'Fiabusa'. A classic Fiat 500 powered by a 1340cc Hayabusa bike engine with 197 horsepower and a 11,000 RPM redline ! Part 2 will be the Fubaru !!
Amazing engineering, stunning to look at but honestly one of the most challenging cars I have ever driven. There is a real knack to the gearbox but once you have it, the changes are sweet and boy is it rapid !

Awesome machines and incredible skills to build those dream cars! I bought a Fiat128 from 1983 to restore and make it look nice to drive in a daily basis (and maybe add some nice ideas), but things like this are just way out of my budget and skills!
Dovyou speak italian ?
@@ninnirusso8763 ti piacerebbe eh....
One thing about the Hayabusa engine is that it is a super long stroke engine, with a TON of low end torque. Liter bikes generally have a 2.0 inch stroke, compared to 2.56 inches for the Haybusa 2nd and 3rd generation engine. That's 50.9mm for the 2022 Yamaha R1 vs. 65mm for the 2008 and up Hayabusa engine. The longer stroke makes the Hayabusa engine into a totally usable car engine, with a ton of torque starting right around 3,000 rpms. There aren't many motorcycle engines that can revv as high, but also retain that level of low end torque.
Thank you
Honda k20 baby all day better choice
Hayabusa is not a liter bike either. It has 1,3-1,34 liter.
Too much engineer in TH-cam
@@UtahGoinBIG crap like you
The face of the passenger at around 11:47 when he lost total confidence in the driver is priceless!
😂😂😂
The real fear is at 12:23
Haha he looked like I felt the first time I flew in a small aircraft.
Brilliant, breath of fresh air in amongst everyday factory sterile cars. Wonder if you might manage a visit to Z cars workshop if they wouldnt mind showing off some their projects.
Hopefully one day 👍
14:02 "I've never ridden a motorbike" Yeah. We can tell. Painfully.
What a fantastic piece of kit. Engineering just because he can, brilliant. Things like this make this country great.. It looks and sounds mental and speed is relative, it's not all about being the fastest car on the road., it's about having a great driving experience.. Love it!
Yep, building insane and useless things, that is what the USA is really great in.
It’s the car equivalent of Allen Millyard.
there are people who do this in every developed country - being "wealthy" allows it
Utterly pointless thing in today's motoring age.
I want one ❤️❤️❤️
LOL 😂
@@PetrolPed i wonder is it a one off or its maker sells them
There's nothing pointless about such ingenious and brilliant engineering.
@@Pmjs I'm on it now !!😁👍
Rocket powered lawnmower.......Woh woh woh.😎👍
I have owned two Hayabusa motorbikes and those engines are just so addictive! Love to see this Fiat 500 with one in it. Great video. Thanks!
Cheers Alan 👍
You'll probably find that giving the throttle a little blip on the downshifts and just fan the clutch will make them smooth with no clunking/crunching. 35 years on bikes here and that's how you handle a constant speed motorcycle gearbox.
How does he not know this. It is the same on cars and bikes.
Yeah, I laughed when he said I need a sequential box in my life! Well get a bike then, simples.
If you blip the throttle on downshift, you don't even need the clutch
To put it mildly, how could you wreck it any faster? unf believable.
Oh my...poor little gearbox!
Sure, when you are pushing it and shifting up near 10k rpms it's completely fine without a clutch.
But downshifting without a clutch? What did that poor gearbox did to you to torture it like that? You need clutch and throttle blip when downshifting with motorcycle gearbox!
Also when you are doing it right, you don't need to bang that stick with such force, it should be smooth.
Those car guys ;-) Obviously this car should be banned without previous motorcycle experience :-)
Evening all, that looks like immense fun and just the antidote for a bad day at work.
Oh yes 🙌
That's why I drive an Abarth. It's just a hell of fun.
Having been a biker and had to give it up because of accidents, this is exactly what I need to still get the bike feel that I need, great little car
More a near death experience.
If you search hayabusa mini you might find another video. I agree though, I so miss the sound of motorcycles since I’ve not been riding. The 4-cyl sportbike sound really pleases me.
Most just buy a trike. Plenty of fast cars around that you can buy stock if you want extra safety.
Likewise, and many cars can be fun, but you don't get a bike feel from a car. Different concept.
Music to my ears. That sound is mesmerizing and beautiful. Nothing like the sound of a high revving engine.
Indeed 👍
Not only crazy fast, but beautiful as well. Can almost piture Fiat releasing a sport model looking like this in the day.
This is WHY we love cars, absolutely mental fun with Ped smiling away!! Loved seeing the Monaco Peter, need to get mine out. Cheers, Kevin.
Thanks Kevin. That is the best thing about driving a left hand drive car 😜👍
I don't know which I like more: the sound of the engine or the look of the car. What a great blend. Looks super cool.
Having a "turbo busa" is a thing among hayabusa owners... let's get a turbo in this car!
Absolutely mental car, would love to own something similar one day. Thanks for the great video!
my uncles friend used to drag race a turbo busa with nitrox. It was twin turbo'd if i remember correctly. It was a bit silly. And not road legal xD
Funny thing is making 300 HP on a fairly stock busa isn't all that hard or unreliable. Now Iv seen one pull 750hp on the Dyno Soo potential is there.
I imagine this little bomb near a Ferrari ,byebye when i’ll be there i’ll send you a postcard 😂
@@oliverscorsim
300 at wheel is easily achievable with excellent reliability.
Mine is 450 wheel but wouldn't suggest putting it in a fiat
Evening all, Hayabusa gear shifts are one of the best around. A fun little beast for sure. Have a good safe weekend all👍
That’s brightened my weekend. Cracking video!
One of the best car builds. Unique little hot rod racer. Awesome
Congrats and thanks on being the first auto-journo I've come across who takes the time and care to correctly pronounce "cinquecento" ! This just makes me even more keen on a ZCar than I already was! And thanks to the owner for sharing... wonderful.
Yes, this was a lot of fun to watch and I heard every word you both said. Awesome! Thanks. Syracuse, NY, US.
Oh yes nice catch Friday upload from Ped, fantastic Fiat 500 with a deep exotic and spectacular twist!
Never ridden a motorbike… Pete you have to get a go on one. Will blow your mind 👍
I’ll stick to my push bikes 😜👍
Until you’ve ridden a powerful motorbike you have no idea about the performance available to you…. Forget hyper cars, a modern performance bike launches you into hyperspace! You’d be blown away trust me 👍
One ride on a Panigale and he would never be the same.
@@BuffMyRadius th-cam.com/video/OYaSG_IoAXk/w-d-xo.html
@@reinmansmith I was thinking the whole time of this video he should try a Busa without carrying an extra 400 odd kilos.
I love his reaction to the quickshifter. Mostly every sportbike has a quickshifter you can buy for it.
From what I understood, it doesn't have a quickshifter, they were just doing clutchless upshifts which is dead simple on bikes.
It's not a special 'quickshift' it's just a motorbike gearshift - they're all like that, sir.
It's clutchless upahift.
Absolutely brilliant!! I don’t think I would stop smiling when driving Fiabusa. That gear change is so satisfying. Incredible engineering.
That’s how bike boxes are. No clutch from 2nd to 6th. Then a slight clutch/throttle mismatch blips the revs for downshifts.
That guy was scared shitless when he handed over the wheel!
years ago my friend and I built a large go-kart with a honda street bike engine, watching this completely reminded me of what it was like to drive it. Basically the same thing just without the sexy black shell
Would love to know the cc of that engine you put in the cart
@@laurencew5220 I don't remember the exact bike, it was a late 80's street cruiser like a goldwing but a bit smaller bike. Probably around 800cc or so, could have been larger. Whatever it was, was more than enough for a kart. It was scary as hell to drive.
This one of the most killer builds I've ever saw, I bet it's a blast
Thanks 👌
Always loved the little 500, this puts a whole new twist on it, fabulous 👌
SEE HOW H.P PUTS A SMILE ON YOUR FACE!
Brilliant. Love this. Wow those smiles speak volumes and that fabulous sequential sound. 11000 rpm. Wow wow wow.
Wow indeed 👍
Great 👍 engineering 🇦🇺🇲🇹👏👏👏
That was awesome! Really enjoyed that!
Omg the look on the owners face when you were pulling gears all the way through hahah! I'm betting he's never letting anyone else drive the car again 😂
This gave me flashbacks to my bonkers MK Indy (Lotus 7 style kit car) with Hyabusa engine and gearbox, which weighed around 450kg. The sequential box takes some getting used to, mine didn't have a reverse gear though, or roof or windscreen, so a full face helmet was required.......3 seconds 0 to 60 though ;)
I also had a classic mini with a Yamaha R1 engine in the back, it used an electric switch connected to a starter motor for a reverse gear....which I broke on its first outing. That reverse gear solution looks much better, and stronger.
Evening chaps! Love the classics!!
The Grin says it all! Both men became 12 years old boys as soon as that engine started! Definitely a dream list car.
Oh yes 🙌
Ive got a Gen II 2013 Hayabusa and its pretty awesome to see the engine used in one these small cars. You can imagine whats its like in a bike which is where it’s designed to be, with much much less weight to carry👍👍👍
Señores me quito el sombrero ¡que pedazo de máquina! Va como un misil! Es brutal, la potencia y el rendimiento que le dan al pequeño Fiat 500, el motor de la Suzuki Hayabusa, un trabajo increíble, el que habéis echo con este pequeñín, ahora si que se puede decir, que tenéis el Fiat 500, más rápido del mundo, me encanta el sonido del motor, suena como una moto de carreras de gran cilindrada, sinceramente lo habéis petado, sobre todo lo que más me gusta es el color negro de la carrocería le va de cine, y los neumáticos gorditos y anchos con esas pedazo de llantas lucen espectaculares, habéis echo un buga cojonudo.
Love this project!. Feel like I would need a helmet and a roll cage at all times in the Fiabusa.
Just what I was thinking. Looks like fun but my S2000 with a couple of minor mods does 11,000 rpm every weekend with no fear of rollover. Think I'll keep it.
First thing I looked for... no roll cage, no helmet and loose belts. Beautifully made and raw, but wouldn't even get in!
Only just found this channel... OMG,!!! I LOVE IT.... Think its my new favourite. The cars on here are unbelievable... I LOVE this Fiabusa.
Great you’ve found me. Enjoy the ride 👍
All I could say as you were zooming along was waaaahhoooooooo! What a fun ride that must be!
That gearbox 🤤👌. Love cars like this, and can’t wait to see the next video Peter 👍
The next one is pretty special 👌
Will it select all six speeds in reverse?
Just needs an auto blipper ..
What an engine and gearbox combo! Have a feeling it may not be much safer than riding the two wheeled version though....
Indeed 😂
And way more reliable than the shit box Fiat engine
@@donbrashsux?
Don't worry, they have seat belts on!
Yeah, but in the Fiabusa you don't get bugs in your teeth!
Those cars esp in white are so cute many years ago n still unmatched in cuteness today. And with power!!!
My old z4 smg was like driving a sequential gearbox. Loved it. 👍
Absolutely love it, the sound but that speed is something else but always feels quicker in a small car,
Oh it sure does. It felt quicker but was also bloody quick 😂😂😂
Would love to see 'track footage' of this car. Bonkers!
Amazing little car.............I want one!
Excellent Vid and brilliantly presented. Just about to view the Fubaru!
These bike engined small cars are sick. Wow, Id love one.
Sounds wonderful, looks fast, probably dangerous. I'd love to have one. Great stuff. Congrats to all involved.
It’s all three 😂
Such creations are a curiosity and no substitute for riding the original bike.
The owner was looking a little worried at times and I don’t blame him!
What a creation! Brilliant!
Well thank goodness for that....I thought i was hallucinating...I was parked up at Goodwood ( live nearby) on my motorbike and this insane little car went past sounding awesome. No way is that a baby Fiat I thought!! Now I know. Great engineering from Zcars. Cheers, Steve
I love these types of cars.
Superb what great little car and the power wow!!!!!
The Italian bambina Frankenstein . Big engine little car...Fantastic!!!
180 MILES per hour in an ORIGINAL 500 is like going waterskiing with a CRUISE MISSILE GLUED TO THE ASS ...😱
Ciao Palo tu che scrivi bene in inglese chiedigli quanto fa di velocità finale? Questa 500 abarth elaborata
That is absolutely ballistic! 😂
Yep 👍
Fantastic, enjoyed this!
This video made me very happy! You've inspired me. Thanks fellas
Great to hear 👍
Great vid, i have a mate with a hyabusa turbo in a smart car, never been in it, but know it is mental. Would love that fiat
Absolutely love this Ped! Cannot wait for the Subaru powered one this Friday. On their website they do a Mini kit with a 2.0 Ecoboost engine, you need to get your hands on one of those :-)
Will do 👍
That really looks like fun!
Simply brilliant!
Heehee! That thing is epic !!!!! And also heehee, yes, I use to change gear like that on my Yamaha RD350LC back in '81. And, actually, it was possible to knock it into neutral quickly on the way down the box, without the clutch, then blip it and engage the next gear down, also without the clutch! But let's just say, it wasn't advised!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great vid Ped and what a thing, although I spent the whole time watching with sweaty palms hoping no deer, tractors or other stray cars pulled out in front of you guys as you were already looking like a couple of sardines tightly packed in a tin.
Now going to tune in for the next instalment. 👍🏻
Hoping you get over a million views on this video. Epic.
Me too 😬👏
Evening pal, this is an impressive lil brace. Nice. 👍👍
I've been into bikes for years and have owned a few. This little 500 with the gen 2 'busa engine is a wonderful piece of engineering. Your smiles in the car say it all really.
I'll definitely be checking out more of Z Cars' content (and your own). I'm now subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to checking other videos. Next will be the white Fubaru.
Very nicely presented video 👍
Evening all, would be good to see the car on a track day. 😤👍
👍👍
Not sure I’m brave enough for that 😂
I knew this would put a smile on my face at the end of a tough day 🤪
Amazing 👏 well done sir..best of both worlds..
When you were telling us about this at Thruxton I thought it sounded awesome. Never did I imagine it would be THIS cool. What fantastic engineering, I love it. A good one for learners to practice their clutch control in I say.
Oh yes. Proper tricky to get that biting point 😬
I've seen an engine swap done on a kit car but this takes the cake!
Love the wheel-arches . . . What a dream car!
Amazing (and powerful) beauty !!!
What an amazing little piece of engineering! Sounds as good as it looks. My only question, are there any structural enhancements and safety minded enhancements? I ask because I don’t see even a roll bar.
Wicked fun boys ❤️it !!! It’s just crazy and cool 😎 all at the same time 👏🏻👊🏻👍🏻🍻🇨🇦
Nuts…I love it!! You two could be brothers 😄
A guy in the U.S. did an old mini cooper with a Hayabusa engine, years ago. It was lime green. Probably the coolest, funnest car video I’ve ever seen.
That thing sounds GLORIOUS! Love that it has the stock transmission too. Keep yanking back! and you don't need the clutch either!!! Awesome car!
Wunderbar...keep 'em coming Z Cars it's hi tech guys like you that have taken us out of the dark ages!!
Absolutely hysterical :D
Awesome job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The sound is so beautiful.
👍
Looks like fun, but less shots of you having a good time and more technical pictures and info like suspension mods etc would be terrific.
he thinks it's about himself, all the comments about "i have or i haven't" its not about you !
Agreed
OMG! I thought the VTEC Mini was mad but this is another level! Having owned a ‘74 Mini 1000, a ‘98 Cinq Sporting, a ‘03 MINI Cooper and a ‘14 I can vouch for how much fun they were but am struggling getting my mind around 197bhp and 11,000 rpm redline! Mind you your face gives some idea! 🤣
I struggled too 😂
PERFECT PERFORMANCA
Downshifting without using the clutch is actually not a bit deal. I had just 3-4 strands left on the clutch cable of my CBR1000RR and had to get us 300 miles to my replacement cable. As you say, shifting up is not a problem. Downshifting, if you match the revs properly, is just as smooth. And yes, I did make it all the way to where my new clutch cable was waiting for me.
"take it easy in the corners......" He said panicking, his mouth getting drier by the second.
I've always been amazed the bike's clutch system can handle the extra weight.
Busa clutches , gearboxes & cranks are extremely over engineered , hence their race success.
350 rear wheel power on totally stock motor is common
Great concept ✨
9:12 clearly it's not the same thing being on the side seat than being behind the wheel hahahaha!!! My god what a beautiful machine and how it sounds!
Very exciting indeed! Loved it. Have to say that the man from ZCars looked worried, at times. How fast were you going max, please?
He wasn’t from ZCars, he is a customer of ZCars and a friend. Of course our maximum speed was 60mph 👍
@@PetrolPed 😂!!
@@PetrolPed Ya right!
I'm American and bigger is always better but I can't help but be obsessed with the way you guys do more with less I want one so bad
While the US have produced some great Road cars and brilliant Hypercars, there tends to be an obsession with horsepower whatever the cost. Power to weight ratio is king 👍
Fun is quite underrated in cars these days. This 'Lil monster seems like a BLAST!!!
It sure is 👍
Greetings from The Fiat Club America !!! Fantastic build!
Hi 👋
Evening. I think us down Wales will never get a shout out of your famous 7. Your videos come through to me each Friday at 1 minute past 6, 🤷♂️ . So more chance of Nailing blancmange to ceiling than getting a mention 🤔 🙄 😀
Definitely a bonkers car but also so freaking cool!! What a little pocket rocket! Great video Sir Pete
Wow, what a great car and sound. Cool video guys.
Cheers 👍
Took me a few moments to recognise them but these are the roads I use to travel from Chichester to Pulborough a couple of times a week. It's really cool to see this kind of content being filmed so close to home. The 'Fiabusa' is awesome and would love to see it in person at some point, or maybe even give the guy a race on my Hornet 😉 aha. Great video mate, you have a new subscriber here & I look forward to seeing what you put out next 👍
