Not when it says this:
"All new phase 3 engines are fully warranted for 30 hours between rebuilds."

Ummmmm, that's a couple of days of driving for me.

 

Yeah, quite obviously a race engine.

That said, I'm sure that they have streetable versions in development or already installed in several Caterhams and Radicals in the UK.

Wow, this is one for the record books!

 

I think I was referring to the *concept* of a V8 based on the Hayabusa. That matches the concept of the S2000 (high-revving, hyperactive motor) - just with double the cylinders and more displacement. I wasn't really suggesting that you go out and do it - worried about time between rebuilds, spare parts, etc.

Hell, a detuned Honda F1 V8 would be the coolest. I'm just dreaming here, OK?

 

IMHO
Perfect motor for theS2000
