CRAZY HAYABUSA POWERED PIAGGIO APE - IS THIS THE CRAZIEST CAR IN THE WORLD?
Watch Top Gears - The Stig drive this around a race track here: • HAYABUSA PIAGGIO APE |...
We catch up with @EVILGT Ben at his unit as we are getting probably the most craziest cars we have ever had on the channel, a Hayabusa Powered Piaggio Ape or as peaople will say Tuk Tuk.
Knowing Ben, he is one of the worst passengers we know along side owen who is also not a good passenger, we though we would send them both out in this Superbike Engine Swapped 3 wheeler, which is capable of going over 150mph.

Truly, truly Bonkers!! What do you think?
Epic fun 😂 I've seen a few of these builds doing Hillcliming in Europe, they're absolutely manic 🙂👌🏻
@@MarkHossNorthwestrcclub never been so scared
@@MotorAddicts I can only imagine, you're a braver man than me 😁😊😉👌🏻
The guy that built that tuktuk has now built a 2jz powered lambo, maybe try do a video on it 🤞
@bolerc Now that would be cool 😎 👌🏻
Many people dream of driving a Ferrari. I just want 10 minutes of this 😂
Totally agree 😂
Trust me it is the best exp
Couldn't agree more, unless it wasn't 10 mins, but actually having your own all the time! This is just fun factor 1500% It's the top trump card game winner, surely?!
Is that the lambo of motorcycles
Mee too brother, mee to
The Italians are still in shock that their little Piaggio is actually staying together at 150mph.😅
the Italians and every single driver they passed
👍infatti😂
Corretto
*241,4km/h
Because Ape is fucking invincible!
Imagine driving your new Lambo casually and saw you've overtaken by this 😆😂
I mean if you bought a Lambo for it's speed than you'd probably regret 😂
@@justsomeguywhodoesarti mean more often than not it's faster than any car on the road.
😂😂😂😂
I'm Italian and still have my grandpa's 1981 Ape P601 in the original "mustard-yellow" colour, actually a little faded by decades of sun! It runs a 220 cc 2-stroke engine. With the proper maintenance it still rides brilliantly up and down in the Alps! The only problem is that you reach at most ~75 km/h, downhill, fully loaded and in fourth gear (since it has the handlebar you need to pray you won't hit a pothole 😅) and in other conditions you create queue and, as we are used in Italy, everyone behind starts overtaking in crazy ways with insane accelerations and long horn soundings. With the horses of the Ape in this video I wouldn't have such problems for sure 💪🏻 As passionate of these veichels I think this powerful-blue-Ape is simply insane and exciting, something I'd love to see and "hear" but...not sure I want to try it...deep down it is a three-wheels-coffin tailored for two 😂😂 Well done to the mechanic and thanks to have shared this gem in the community!
Being from India, This..this is the greatest thing I’ve seen whole week. I think the idea of having some fake fruits and produce in the back would be kickass. Makes it all the more funnier 😂
Me too
@jaymson817 yeah bruv your mom will look really cool
Legit😂
I'm thinking what will happen if we swap a auto rickshaw engine with turbo and V8 😂
Imagine one in the passenger seater variant and taking all them for a ride😎
Imagine the faces of other drivers on the road watching this big machine fly by 😂
Anyone with any sense would just be laughing at it for the turd it is.
I'm from India. This one is 'Pick Up Auto Rickshaw' used by small vegetable vendors or small businessman to move goods within city. It's top speed in stock is 32 MPH. But you guys swapped the engine with mods to Hayabusa and made it completely insane superfast! 🤣
It's exactly what they said it was. Imagine being room temp IQ and trying to correct someone.
This an Italian Piaggio Ape not an Indian Rickshaw
@@jamesofallthings3684Nope. They said that in India people commute in these, which is preposterous.
@@-shurikenpaul-6931 who said it's an Indian rickshaw?
@@-shurikenpaul-6931lololo
The most hilarious thing I've seen in a while. I know this standard Piaggio shakes like a vibrator more than moving forward. This is outright hilarious.
This is 100% the type of vehicle I love to see on the channel. Full on crazy and random. I love it 🔥🔥🔥
Glad you enjoy it!
Yeah me too! This is by far my favourite car channel! Owen cracks me up 😂😂
I agree with you. Absolutely loving it
Saya menonton video ini berulang2 tidak bosan2, saya sangat suka
Absolutely hilarious, That inside camera angle nailed it too 😂
We thought oh no, but that angle is hilarious
The word ”BUSA” burnt in the wooden crate means ”fool around” in Swedish 😁
That's definitely the first time that I say "this thing definitely don't needs a turbo" 😂
A deathrap on wheels but I bet its an absolute riot to experience 😂
It’s crazy
Well considering a crash on a Busa doesnt provide any protection, this would give you marginally more 😅
@@nipponsuxs Nah it's just a coffin on wheels. Gonna get buried in that thing if you crash.
Instant death if not Careful
On a bike the rider tends to go up and over whatever they hit. In this, when a car pulls out you're just going to smack into it and all that weight behind will sandwich you into it even further. They might be able to identify you from your dental records if you're lucky.
I live in southern italy. I bow to you. One can not fathom what a dangerous ordeal this must have been (a stock one easily rolls and loves italian potholes, can't imagine a hayabusa swap)
the sound of engine also played important role to make it crazy.😂😂
This dude is going insane...and i like it!😂
Number one sleeper car of all times you don't want to mess with ❤
This is a Sleeper on Steroids.
Ten out of Ten.. 150mph in that with the set up for something like 30mph.. Scary.. Need more extreme weird builds like this..like the team up with EvilGt, great entertainment lads👍
Appreciate it
30mph? Ape is meant for old vespa 50cc engine that gets a scooter to 40 on a downill.. ape have even shorter gears
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💥 Seeing those passenger faces, was worth of each minute and second 😂. But this is what this channel is for! Congrats to the guys with the most crazy idea I have ever seen! Well done Boys!
Im laughing so hard and im not even in that thing 😂😂,thats insane .His face😂
Load of respect for the guy who made this. It’s mind bending
Owen’s face kills me every time😂 I love crazy builds like this
😬
Why i get the notion that this idea matured from drinking a few pints.
The poor guy in the focus ST I bet he went home and considered his life choices after being kept on it by a rusty 3 wheeler😂
I hope he sees this video and comments some time - that bit was fantastic"
They probably thought it was a dream. Like WTF? 😂
Kinda like Keisuke Fujiwara's reaction in Initial D after his RX-7 was overtaken by a crumby AE-86.
@@kenshinflyer weeb
Didn't get overtaken though
That put a big ass smile on my face, thank you guys for your time put into this and the man that built it❤❤❤❤❤️
I just searched for Hayabusa power... How on earth did I reach over here?
If someone asks what's your dream vehicle to drive, I would choose this over supercars. I love such insane mods
a Piaggio APE ^^
as small as needed, but with as much oomph as possible 😁
The utter concentration on the Pilots face must mean it's a handful to pilot that 🚀
It is definitely
I was feeling dull, exhausted and irritated and saw this video by chance. As the video progressed, I had my adrenaline pumped up, laughing my heart out on seeing the expressions of the guys. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 😂😂😂😂. 👍👍👍👍.
As a recent owner of the slightly bigger version of this (the Vespacar P2) I gotta say... I find my top speed of 40MPH already somewhat tense when driving, can't imagine more than twice that haha
Nearly 4 times faster……🥴
@@memorialgardens1664 Absolute madness for sure
Imagine how much surprised is the policeman checking the speed 😂😂 He probably send back to the supplier for guarantee action😂😂
If I were that police officer, , I'd make them sit aside and would take a ride myself 😅😂😅😂. .
People that make stuff like this are national treasures.
I'm from India. If I get my hands on this in India, it will make people freak out. It would be like scene from the movie "Batman Begins" when police officer see for the first time Batman's vehicle. This is the craziest thing I have seen 😂😂😂
Definitely wanna be the passenger in this Hayabusa powered Tuk Tuk 🔥🔥🤩
As a mode of transportation here and prone to tipping over, going to over 70kmph(43mph) is scarry enough.This can go over 200kmph is nuts.If this is brought here,the auto driver will be made King😂.
The reaction on the faces to the speed on that inside camera was an absolute classic
Glad you like it
Love it! True madness and the sight of that little thing just zipping along the road at blistering speeds... No safety what so ever. Perfect! Where can I get one?! 😆
Absolutely brilliant. Couldn't stop grinning at the sheer madness of the little beast. Would dearly love one of these, the best joke to go up against a show pony.
10:16 I would have liked to see the face of the one with the ST focus. He was also at full throttle. Awesome.
The guy was just laughing
Insane, insanely brilliant mind you. The look of fear and excitement on the testers was only matched by the evil genius stare of the builder/ driver. I'd swear their arms must be killing them from hanging on so tight
It was true madness
Arms? I'd rather be worried about those giant balls
😂😂😂 Their big and brass, what'd you think kept the front down from popping a wheelie 😂😂😂
Starred as presenter in Max Power videos that were free on the cover ON VHS! Worked for years for Fast Car mag but this had me weeping with laughter and lost in admiration for the quality of the tightrope walked!
You guys are mental- I’ve driven a standard Piaggio Calessino 200 ape thousands of miles around Italy and with the standard engine it’s a tip over bad handling death trap on the roads (all it lacked was more torque for hills) so I can only imagine how hairy this is to drive especially if you have to turn 🤣 but absolutely love it! 😂
I've always thought the busa powered bond bug on o.g was the craziest thing ever, but this thing is on another level. Absolutely mental
Proper bonkers
@@MotorAddicts certainly an experience u won't forget, great vid guys 👍
@@MotorAddicts track battles lol 😉
@@angelodagnolo984 This wouldnt touch the bond bug, wouldnt even be close
@@noswad86it is lacking a turbo and over 100bhp, so no surprise.
If Top gear was made for the working class it would be called Motor Addicts. Keep up the great content!.
Much appreciated Jay 🤙🏻
This is a great channel for the motor enthusiasts who are regular folks amazing content and crazy tuktuk
Yep speeding and dangerous driving on public road keep it up lads.
@@davedave1027 And the driver should get a stiff telling off. Rightly so.
My heart was in my throat just watching this.I don't know how I would fare if I was in it.😂
imagine sitting in a car and turbo shopping trolley overtakes you
Pure madness. The madman who created it is a genius. I just love it!
I've never laughed as hard at a car video 😂 your reactions are priceless
Glad you enjoyed
The second guys reaction was priceless!!! 😂😂 That little car, bike is nuts.
19:29 Oh my God isn’t a bad word, you can say it ! Don’t be afraid. People of your country have been saying it for centuries and it was a great blessing for them.
Love it. Any vehicle which terrifies you is a win. This is what driving is all about.
100%
As someone who sees these basic vehicles on a daily basis, this is so howlingly, funnily outrageous😂😂
Imagine you heard this sound of inline 4 coming from behind you. You eagerly wait to see the bike and suddenly a blue three-wheeler overtakes you. It will be stunning moment 😂
Time to hit Autobahn with this badboy
The fisheye cam inside really makes the whole thing a bit funnier watching the reactions. Looks like everyone had a blast.
That focus ST did pretty well 😂
Done alright
Looks like a blast to drive, that's crazy!!
Haha, absolute madness!!! I watched a reel on Instagram and saved it because the sheer panic in your faces is omnipresent 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder what speed the front tyre is rated for. Epic thing!😂😂
Probably 40
@@MotorAddicts 🤣🤣
Imagine if you lose the steering tire on that at 120!
@@MotorAddicts😂😂
@@vincehoffman179😂😂😂😂😂😂
That guy has no fear at all, thought the BusaSmart's were crazy but that power on 3 wheels.
🤯
That those tiny wheels not explode is a miracle ! Very cool Build !
Peso e potência ficou absurda kkkkk Projeto muito top 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Manda um desses aqui pro Brasil 😅
I'm Italian and I grew up with fruit vendors with the legendary Ape Piaggio ...... but the 30/35 km/h never went past. This would be the dream of all of them. Beautiful. The Juventus shirt is also beautiful,
absolutely crazy vehicle, glad you survived it, fingers crossed it it goes viral for you
Would be nice
British guys putting Italian emotion in a Piaggio Ape. Unexpected and brilliant!
That's madness 😅 But sometimes it goes out of control on turns due to single front wheel...😅
Bro... the Focus ST getting chopped was priceless... and hilarious
I would 100% daily that thing. I would actually love to use that as a food delivery vehicle.
Impressive that it turns at 30+mph. A proper 4 wheeler mod of this, could make luxury car drivers rethink their choices.
You guys need to come over to germany and give that beauty a real stress test on the Autobahn. Must be hell lot of fun without speedlimits and we finally can have an unblurred view of the speedometer and how far it goes up. :D
If they want to speed they should be taking it to a track not a main road. Endangering lives for a video is never worth it
@@dazzamcg2369 nerd....muppet...u must ve lived such a sheltered life. One of those ppl that never been in an accident but must ve caused 9999
It's not that much faster than u see here. The diff or sprockets they use in this doesn't allow it to go faster it's the torque you want with this. Topspeed does t matter ur fast anyway. But the torque is what makes it I sane. These thing normally do 60km/h Top that means u went through all 3 gears wind in the back open road. And u Def don't like that. It wobbles like crazy. Now doing 4* that. With better setup oke. But still that's mind blowing scarry. That front-wheel tire is what keeps u alive haha. Better not be made I. China
This is insane,3 wheeler with that much power=death machine but loads of fun. I think I’d be putting a rollcage and seatbelt harnesses in it and some back padding.
If he keeps it’s a job he’s gonna do
@@MotorAddicts cool.
No, keep it as it is,add the turbo and a front disc brake set up. With a cage and seats it would give you a false sense of security, and then you push it into/ out of bends and you end up in a wheel chair for the rest of your life. Atleast like this ,in a big " incident" you are going through the pearly gates on fire and backwards with a smile on your face, rather than being pushed into the old people's rest home having your bum wiped.
@@brianiswrong believe me it needs a roll cage........... lol.........but it needs an extra 100hp but maybe too dangerous, you deffo need a crash helmet in there, imagine going through the windscreen.
@@malcolmmacdougall and a bucket seat!
He looked like he may have genuinely pissed himself in terror 😂
crying with laughter watching this. excellent
'Busa's are sick, but this is just NEXT LEVEL!!! 😎👍 It needs some 4 or 5 point harnesses/ harness bar or mini cage, and some seats with bolsters. Much better of a driving experience not having to worry about your ass sliding off the seat flying through the apex 😂 Such an excellent and original build. I love it.
That's so insanely wonderful, the hayabusa engine sound with akrapovic exhaust is music to my ears and the way this 3 wheeler speeds and handles and brakes is just phenomenal bcoz power to weight ratio is way way way higher ❤❤
I see a very practical use for this. A lot of times, in the summer when I go grocery shopping, my ice cream is partially melted by the time I get home. This would alleviate that problem.
Best thing all week, the terror on your face is epic. It looks sped up its so crazy.
That's just ridiculously funny when he drives past that black ford or something 😂
The sound of that engine is sick. Wish I could see their speed :D
They r breaking the speed limit probably
That’s the funniest thing I think I’ve ever seen. Massive respect to you guys for having the mutts to set foot in that thing. I want one.
When he slips that clutch - Glorious! What a machine
Now i got to know how Amazon provides "Same Day Delivery 🚚" 😂😂😂
Home grown hero's!! I see these guys with mad vehicles regularly 😂😂
🤙🏻🤙🏻
Best video yet, guys. Hands down. Laughing my balls off here. "Ballbag don't know what's happened" 😂😂
He said ‘poor man doesn’t know what happened’
@@hoonaticbloggs5402 Do you find that you get offended often, by any chance?
😂
@@High-5 No. I don’t get offended by anyone.
this was awesome Guys, thanks! i cannot stop smiling , this is what you call a "pocket rocket " :)
This is a brilliant idea and you are a genius! If someone starts making and selling Ape cars like this with motorcycle engines, I'll be one of the first customers. Great video and greetings from Italy
That's the content that this channel is all about 100% spot on 😁🤙 I'm surprised how brave you are Owen! I will never attempt to race a tuk tuk for sure. That Focus ST must be like WFT😂
Cheers Hristo
the speed rating on that front tyre is similar to a wheelbarrow
@@PETERNESSOn the original Ape (and Vespa) they actually used wheelbarrow tires
I could listen to the note of that last flyby, on repeat, for the rest of my silly life. Thank you for this vehicle.
amazing! here in Italy it is normal to see a monster like this, there are many championships and sporting competitions with the Piaggio Ape
Isn't this just fun....This is one of the best mods in the world
That had me laughing just as much as Owen 😂😂 what a crazy build 👍🏻
💯
Love Ben's nervous laugh & smile, bet he needed to change his pants 😂.
His undercrakers were drenched
Ça a l'air effrayant!!! Chapeaux au constructeur L'idée est folle, la prochaine étape c'est quoi???
carwow should test this in a drag race with a hot hatch 😂😂😂
I would buy that in a heartbeat!! What a weapon 😂 my reaction was the same as Owens nest blown away 😂
Proper cool
This death trap only needs one upgrade, quick shifter with auto blipper for down shifting 🙂
That Piaggio ape is sleeper with a Hayabusa engine for real
The second guy was really scared 🤣. Enjoy the ride bro! Damn fastest tuk tuk in the entire world. Porsche driver be like "damn ! My turbo must be burst" on being overhauled by a blue tricycle 🤣🤣.
I'm totally speechless and have been laughing in joy through all the video Always loved crazy stuff and you guys got all my respect for this one...absolutely bonkers
Thanks for joining
