I don't know how much is the Honda Fit . But if they sell it around $15K everyone would have one , cause it will burn a lot less gas as their H2's or H3's ;) . I'm interested in the mottorcycle powered car only for the gas lilage . The reason is that I have a car that is fast enath and i don't need power in the car like this .

You build the chassis out of plywood from their $90 plans, then fiberglass the pieces together for monocoque strength and low weight. Honda Goldwing or other small engine is mounted midship on a steel subchassis and powers the rear wheel, while the front suspension ad steering can be from a Triumph or similar small car. Butterfly doors and a flat windscreen give this 3 wheel car a unique Lambo shape even though it is a 15 year old design! So, motorcycle powered cars are not new, and neither is a motorcycle powered kit car. Look for an easier to build motorcycle powered kit car later this year from our newly revived www.fiberfab.us - no plywood, I promise!

If you will spend the time and money to build a kit car a $300 readilly available V8 seems much easier. -todd most people want torque regardless.

The only example I recall was the honda CBR 1100 powered Caterham 7 (www.caterham.co.uk) that was sold a few years ago.
