WRTC driver Liam Doran's Class Seven Autograss Mini pickup powered by twin Hayabusa engines with a combined 380 HP... does the 1/4 in 10.57, 0-60 in 2.36 seconds, because it weighs only 1323 pounds



Skip the first 5 minutes. It's utter waste of time

This Austin Mini pickup (or Pick-Up if you're into branding) is built to be a part of Class 7, a nearly unlimited class that allows you to build anything as wild as you want so long as you have a body shell shaped from a "saloon, hatchback, or pickup."

Racers get the sideways action like you find with drifting, but with the added spectacle of wheelies coming out of the corners like high-powered sprint car racing

Settled just behind Liam's carbon Tillett seat and an aluminum firewall are a pair of Suzuki Hayabusa engines that were built by Dan McKenzie of DM Racing with a full Simpson race exhaust system. These engines are fitted with a pair of four-speed gearboxes that are then linked together using an X C Worx twin-drive box just for this dual sportbike engine setup.
