Maybe the British do have a sense of humour

Was cruising around and stumbled across this site.
Now, i can't find any evidence on their website to say that they have actually put this V8 into a cappa. they were building a hyabusa powered cappa but the backer (the man who pays the bills), pulled out of it and the project was never finished. Understandably when they were talking costs of about 20,000 pound ($50,000-00 + approx) to complete it.
But the concept of their hyabusa V8 engine powered cappa is a frightening idea, specially when you see the Hp figures of 300 Hp naturally aspirated and 700 Hp twin turbo charged.
If these guys are seriously planning this conversion... that is going to be one monster of a cappa.
To do something like this it proves to me that there are british out there with a sense of humour... or my first opinion... totally mad.
