Interesting use of a 4th gen

Attended the Nitto Auto Enthusiast day at Angel Stadium yesterday and found something you guys might find interesting. Seems like a fun project and actually turned out pretty nice, considering the age and original quality of those old mini cars. What do you guys think?

 

Everyone else seems stunned and unable to make a comment. Therefore I will step into the breech. This is an abomination. Please refrain from such posts. Thank you.

 

Wow !!!

I know my engine hopefully makes it this far, when I am MUCH older,

or straight to my Hover Scooter so I can make solo runs to the closest mini-mart

 

trying to wrap my brain around this. So that is a 4th Gen motor powering that N600?????

If so that concept is kinda cool and an upgrade from the 54HP the car made originally, yay for more cubes. What I can't see is why is the gas tank still there when it looks like a gas tank is already in the back ... I'm so very confused.

 

I'm gonna be that guy. It's a '98 5th gen in the description. Not that it matters. Still makes me sad.

 

Saw a Busa motor installed in a Smartcar long ago. Cheers

 

So it is a 5th gen guess that's what happens when my mind if confused I miss the small details like that,

 

I for one, think this is amazing. I'd love to have the V4 sound coming from the underhood of a car. I always thought about finding a way to do it to a Honda CRX. Make a light car even lighter, keeping the peak horsepower right around the same range. Pure Genius I say.
