What happens when you throw a Hayabusa engine in a tiny Fiat 500?
Generally the Hayabusa blows up because they don't scavenge well under lateral loads. It takes quite a bit of trickery to get it all going.
Must be an absolute blast to drive.
Check out this guy. Two R1 motors in a mini

There was a factory built Mini rally car with two standard Mini engine/trans, one in the front, one in the back. You had to shift both transmissions separately. There's a video out there on a gravel stage from in the car. It was pretty amazing, the driver was a famous Fin as I recall, but suffice it to say he was quite busy getting the thing through the stage.
