FIAT 500 w/ Double Hayabusa V8 || Dyno Testing & Racing 11.000RPM Monster

Bernard Whilhelm is the Owner/Driver of the Puch TR5 created by the late Georg Pacher, powered by a V8 made from the junction of two Suzuki Hayabusa Engine Heads mated to a bespoke Engine Block. With well over 300Hp/11.000Rpm, this now mid-engined, RWD Spaceframed Monster has been one of the most unique machines of Austrian Hillclimb Racing since its return a couple years.
Set for a number of evolutions during 2021, here we can see it doing some dyno testing and attacking St. Agatha Bergrennen 2019. It is a mighty impressive creation, which certainly looks, sounds and goes like it is intended to. And hopefully it´ll be even more impressive the next time we feature it...

[@jeremyschafli9599]

I love how the front of the car shows the emotion that the 500 was forced to be a car it didn't want to be and now is scared of it's own power

I’m guessing it started with some lowering springs and got a bit out of hand.

[@RaceGasSmellsGood]

That sound! THAT SOUND! Insane! Kinda like an older F1 car! All that innovation is amazing, and to think it wasn’t built by some huge company or OEM makes it all the better!

[@expressionoffreedom7165]

Hayabusa Is owned by a pretty big company. Fiat Is a pretty big company... Pretty big companies make all of these builds possible.

[@prtheid]

@@expressionoffreedom7165 I don't think you have any idea about how these cars are made. It is entirely bespoke space framed chassis (Bunch of tubes welded together to form structure) made in house by teams of engineers, fabricators and welders not a "pretty big company" merely a team of people... It bares only the slight resemblence in looks to the original body shell which happens to be a Fiat 500. "Hayabusa" is a 1300cc motorbike made by Suzuki in Japan everything apart from the Cylinder heads are pretty much custom. This is the furthest thing from being made by a "Pretty big company"... Only a couple of parts that were never originally intended to be mated together were made by a big company such as Suzuki or Fiat.

[@smokepeddler]

These engines are in Radicals and can be purchased. Just like you can buy Cossworth or Renault V8.

[@haytix553]

@@smokepeddler powertec(the tuner of the engine) is radical nowadays. The engine existed before radical did.

[@haytix553]

@@prtheid it was made by one man and a few friends of him.

[@zacharygrosser4115]

Props to the man (or guys) who got this car to this level. Impressive is an understatement 🤤

[@fishytails6639]

Sounds like a V8-era F1 car. And if you think about it those engines were actually not that far off this one so it makes sense :D

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Architecturally there are some similarities between this engine and a Cosworth DFV for example. So the sound is always going to be pretty nice ;)

[@vividvulpe9842]

Totally

[@anomalousresult]

@@HillClimbMonsters the dfv was itself an evolution of an inline 4 so a good comparison to make!

[@haeloglobal5725]

Who builds such cars ? I would have one

[@krocketonboost5236]

It sounds awesome but the F1 v8s could rev to 20.000rpm. Almost twice the rpm haha.

[@The_Angry_BeEconomist]

a true monster, everything about this screams frankenstein

[@Kalvinjj]

I thought Chimera but that brings too much TVR vibes (Not that this is bad actually, and the insanity is on par).

[@TheRausing1]

Can’t believe I’ve only just found this. I had no idea something like this even existed. One of the best sounding cars I’ve ever heard.... it’s euphoric

[@DanielFrost79]

Omg. The sound is incredible. Almost as "Herbie Gone Wild" edition.

[@rob1129]

I think that's a testament to how well those Hayabusa V8's are built being able to hit the same rpm's & redline

[@davidstewart4570]

Something tells me electric motors and batteries will never have the appeal of projects like this!

[@boboso4978]

You would be correct...

[@ajisusetyo3613]

Of course they don't. There's something special about ICE that Electric vehicle lack of, the engine and exhaust note....

[@robertrose1098]

Don't be too surprised when you hear what electronic exsplosions sound like in the near future. I know what you are saying.. but there's something being built and tested that kinda combines large electron exsplosions and the normal combustion engine, the future ahead is so exciting!!!

[@zAvAvAz]

maybe if we turn electric motors into kind of electric v12's or something.

[@jimblu86]

Haha correct, but if it had an electric motor to supplement low rpm torque, that would be the best... if only there was a manufacturer that would make an easy plug and play, open source kit...

[@LucaBlightOfHighland]

This thing is too cute ... Brutally cute. Like the Hulk with bunny ears and a gatling gun.

[@gafrers]

CarP*rn. Fantastic. Being this long it makes it look more like a 600 than a 500, especially on the B and C pillars

[@Xrarespares]

yes. u are right

[@cbr3220]

It sounds like the glory days of 90’s Indycar racing

[@Mike-yy4ll]

If Nintendo made a race car it would look exactly like this.

[@jareknowak8712]

"Mario R500" :D

[@billyrayvalentine7972]

I had a few Fiats back in the 1970s and 1980s and I damn sure clicked on this madness.

[@Johnwalter1044]

It's making bang bang noises. I love it!

[@jpman9795]

Now that looks like a blast to drive. Wow!

[@johnmonogios9173]

Just think the level of skills to accomplish such project, hats off guys. Mad skills...🤟🏻🤟🏻

A fiat WITH two Suzuki engine AND Benz logo on the side. HOLD MY PIZZA ! 💪🏾❤

[@nasuh_won]

Busa Busa -little caesars

[@HillClimbMonsters]

It is a single V8 engine. But it uses 2 Hayabusa engine heads mated through a bespoke block ;)

[@edoardoperego2814]

The axis powers rise again?

[@THESLlCK]

These bike engine v8's are amazing, imagine if they had EIGHT TO ONE HEADERS

[@julbrat01]

🤤

[@robertwood9572]

It’s likely a flat-plane crank setup with 180 degree headers, but I can’t really tell. I didn’t see a good shot of the setup.

[@DJBOGOSFLOFFICIAL]

There is no crossplane busa, and even if it was, would sound more like an r1

He uses both sides of the road, like an Amazon Prime driver ; )
