Suzuki Hayabusa Sport Prototype '02
When people drove the Formula Suzuki Hayabusa at Suzuki One Make Race Series, everybody started saying "Wouldn't be great if we can drive this kind of car on the road?" That light weight sport car is what we gave the answer for. "Hayabusa Prototype" Based on Formula Suzuki Hayabusa, Suzuki Sport has developed from the beginning considering running on public roads and was shown to the world at 2002 Tokyo Auto Salon with Auto Asia.
Text by Suzuki.
The "Ultimate light weight sport car", having superb handling is what Suzuki aimed for and the layot has been decided. Hereby is what Suzuki aimed for:
1 - Super light weight
2 - Equal weight distribution on all four wheels
3 - Low center gravity
4 - Light weight on over hang part
5 - Short wheel base
6 - Minus lift aerodynamics
With Suzuki Sport original steel pipe + aluminum panel frame, the "Suzuki GSX-R1300R Hayabusa" engine is installed in front midship and driven by rear wheel. The body is made from FRP using carbon fiber. The design was established by testing at moving belt type wind tunnel facility in Suzuki Sport factory to have excellent aerodynamics. And the chassis and body uses fully original design (ex. suspensions) and Suzuki's genuine parts (ex. differential) in order to be low cost yet to have high original quality.
-To give out much performance of motorcycle engine and handling, light weight was must.
-Frame was analyzed by help of Suzuki Motor Corporation to simulate crash test for the safety.
-To make the center gravity low, exhaust pipe is fitted on the left side of the frame.
-Making the floor flat and up tail at the rear results ground effect which makes minus lift aerodynamics.
-Gull wing doors make easy access to the cockpit.

The Perfect Car List For a Game
I like this little Suzuki Hayabusa Coupe.
Well proportioned and good looks.
You do know that the engine in the Ariel Atom V8, is derived from 2 Hayabusa engines

maybe not the Hayabusa percé
but many car builders use bike engines
Ariel Atom, Radical, Ginetta etc all have models with bike engine's
and specialy Lotus 7 replica builders tend to use bike engine's
..... so even 2 like this Tiger Z100 Bimoto
i've actualy driven this Monster on Zolder Circuit
360hp for 500kg 0>100km/h in 3 sec flat

This is like some Japanese TVR mixed with some Panoz.
At least that weight is kinda impressive.

Radical RXC Turbo '14
As a car manufacturer, on the track, you can't get much more proven than Radical. In just 16 years it's managed to sell over 1,600 race cars, designed a car for Le Mans in under a year, and holds the production lap record for street-legal vehicles at the Nurburgring (a frankly terrifying time of 6 minutes and 48 seconds). The Radical ethos is based on lightweight sports cars that use superbike technology, resulting in supercar pace at a fraction of the cost. To say Radical does its talking on the track is a gross understatement.
With its most successful model, the SR3, Radical began to toy with the idea of its cars on the road, as it could be converted to become road legal. With the SR3 SL, or street legal, in 2012 Radical explored this further.
Radical's newest, and certainly maddest, creation, the RXC, has been designed from the ground up with both road and track in mind. Although, one look at its exterior, and it's not hard to guess where this car belongs.
The RXC is absolutely bonkers. The one we encountered in its garish yellow paint job didn't help this impression. To think that this LMP1-style car, with a multi-adjustable rear wing and seven-speed sequential Quaife paddle shift gearbox (built specifically for this car), can pop to the shops for a pint of milk is simply staggering. And I've been informed it takes speed bumps really rather well.
The engine itself is the 3.5 L EcoBoost V6, offering 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque (when installed in the Ford F150). Already impressive enough; but when it gets placed in the RXC Turbo, it bumps up to 454 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.
Further it is listed as having a 2.6 seconds 0-100 acceleration and tops out at a speed of 298 kilometers per hour. The car itself weighs just 900kg with 454 hp doesn't sound too bad at all.
The RXC is the first Radical with a roof. It was designed with one eye on the Middle Eastern market, where the option of air conditioning and a roof is a must. Radical said their aim was to design the world's most extreme road-legal coupe, but one that could sit two grown men comfortably, be at home on the road, and still destroy everything in sight when it mattered.
A little ambitious it seems.
Specifications
Engine: 3.7-litre V6
Power: 454 hp
Torque: 500 lb. ft.
Weight: 900 kg
0-100 km/h: 2.6 seconds
Top speed: 298 km/h

Aston Martin Vanquish '15
The Aston Martin Vanquish is a grand tourer that was introduced in 2001 as a successor to the ageing Virage range. The first-generation V12 Vanquish, designed by Ian Callum and Dilip Chhabria, was unveiled at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show and was produced from 2001 to 2005. It featured as the official James Bond car in the film Die Another Day. The Vanquish S was unveiled in 2004 with a more powerful engine and improved aerodynamics. The Vanquish S and V12 Vanquish were replaced by the DBS in 2007. In 2012 the Vanquish name was revived for the successor to the DBS.
In August 2014 Aston Martin reveiled the new 2015 Vanquish. The look was the same compared to the 2012 Vanquish. The change of the new Vanquish was the new eight-speed Touchtronic III gearbox and upgraded AM29 568 hp V12 engine. This makes the new Vanquish faster, with a topspeed of 324 km/h and a 0-100 time of 3.6 seconds.
