Flamethrowing Suzuki Hayabusa Comes Equipped with an F14-Sourced Jet Turbine Engine!


How do you make the world's fastest motorcycle, the iconic Suzuki Hayabusa, even faster – at least in theory? We assume the more technically inclined will each have a different answer to that question, but for Tony Pandolfo from Orlando, Florida, there's nothing better than a…jet-sourced turbine engine.

To be more precise, the 54-year old engineer fitted the Hayabusa with an AlliedSignal jet fuel starter (JFS) sourced from an early-model F-14 jet fighter! The JFS runs on K2 Kerosene or Jet A fuel and comes complete with an afterburner.

The only official figure released by Pandolfo on his website is the jet starter's peak torque of 300 lb-ft – remember, we're talking about a motorcycle and not a pickup truck…

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Pandoflo told the newspaper that he actually turned the jet unit's power down.

Polish Woman Fails Miserably in Driving Lesson, but was it Really her Fault?


Taking your first driving lessons is kinda like taking your first baby steps; it can be a nerve-wracking experience and you're bound to make mistakes. However, some mistakes can be more costly and far more dangerous than others...

A woman from Częstochowa, Poland, got herself into a life-threatening situation during a driving lesson in an enclosed area when she accidentally stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake driving the Suzuki Swift hatchback right into a concrete barrier and out to a main freeway!

Luckily, there were no cars crossing the road at the time.

Suzuki Airs Final Version of its Super Bowl "Sled" Ad with New Song from 50 Cent


Last weekend, we showed you Suzuki's new Super Bowl commercial for the Kizashi sedan title "Sled". As it turns out, it wasn't the final version that will air during the big game on Sunday, February 5, but a preview clip with music from Ben Kahle.

However, the only change made to the commercial is the addition of rapper 50 Cent's "Movin' On Up" song. Other than that, it's the same ad showing an Eskimo swapping his dog sled for a Kizashi all-wheel drive saloon.

Who let the Dogs in? Suzuki Did for its 2012 Super Bowl Commercial


Given Americas love for man's best friend, it's a pretty safe bet that you'll get at least some attention with a commercial starring dogs.

Released on YouTube before it hits the television airwaves on February 5 during the big game, Suzuki's 2012 Super Bowl ad is entitled "Sled" and it features an Eskimo who trades in his sled (but not his four-legged crew) for an all-wheel drive Kizashi mid-size sedan.

Suzuki Lifts the Covers off New XA ALPHA Small Crossover at New Delhi Auto Show [with Video]


We were right to assume that Maruti Suzuki would present an off-road concept at this week's Auto Expo 2012 in New Delhi, but the XA ALPHA doesn't appear to preview a replacement for the Jimny 4x4 (or at least not directly) as it leans more towards the crossover segment being based on the platform architecture of the Swift supermini.

Designed in cooperation with Suzuki's Indian partner Maruti, the XA ALPHA borrows several styling cues from the Swift such as the profile window line and the blacked out A-pillars.

The five-door model measures 4 meters in length, which makes it a little bit longer than the current Swift (3,850mm long).

Motorcycle Wheelie Goes Terribly Wrong – or Why You Should Always Keep a Distance from Amateur Stunts…


Random stunt displays may capture people's interest but there is a very good reason why organizers at professional events keep the crowd back at a safe distance from the performer(s).

The video you're about to watch shows a motorcyclists attempting a wheelie in what is said to be a Suzuki GSX-R when he suddenly loses control and ends up smashing the bike in the face of two by standers…
