This Insane Motorcycle Packs A 400-HP Ferrari F355 V8 Engine

If you thought the Kawasaki H2 from Top Gun was wild, wait until you hear what a builder in LA just put together. Maxwell Hazan took a Ferrari F355 engine and built an entire motorcycle around it. Yes, a real Ferrari V8 engine in a custom bike.

He didn’t just swap the engine into a regular frame. He built the whole thing from scratch to fit the massive 3.5-liter V8. It puts out about 400 horsepower and uses a six-speed manual transmission with a custom exhaust that probably sounds insane.

Despite the huge engine, the bike only weighs around 590 pounds, which is just a bit more than a standard 1000cc sport bike. That means the power-to-weight ratio is off the charts. This thing is way more powerful per kilo than pretty much any production motorcycle.

It looks as crazy as it sounds. The carbon fiber body has those big V8 cylinders sticking out from both sides. It’s more like a sculpture that moves. There are no official performance numbers, but it doesn’t really need them. One twist of the throttle and you’re gone.

Maxwell even rode it on public roads, just to prove it’s not some garage queen. This isn’t a production bike or a concept. It’s just one guy’s wild idea brought to life, and somehow, it works.
