Nick Katranis and his Mini race car compete in hillclimb events in Greece. The car is powered by a naturally aspirated 1300 cc inline-four from a 1st generation Suzuki Hayabusa. The motor makes 185-190 horsepower on a Fueltech ECU. Power is sent through a six-speed sequential transmission to Michelin 220/540/13 tires. The 599 kg (1320 lb) car rides on a Z-Cars chassis with Ohlins adjustable coilovers and a 46/54 weight bias.

I always wonder when I see bike-engine swapped cars… does it have reverse?
Normally an added component, so yes (if added). I’ve seen 1 race version that the dude just pushed backwards… but for a road going car that just wouldn’t work.
