by Custom motorcycle with Ferrari V8 engine
American master Maxwell Hazan has created a unique motorcycle using an engine from a Ferrari F355. His project, named HF355, is equipped with a 3.5-liter V8 that produces about 400 horsepower. A six-speed manual transmission and a special SC Project exhaust system make this bike a true exclusive.
Despite the powerful engine, the motorcycle’s weight is only 590 pounds (267 kg) including all fluids. This is only 132 pounds heavier than a conventional 1000cc sportbike. Carbon bodywork maintains classic proportions, but the V8 cylinders are noticeably prominent on the sides.
Technical features
Hazan built the motorcycle from scratch, as a standard chassis is not suitable for such an engine. The HF355’s power-to-weight ratio is 1498 hp per ton, which is 500 hp more than that of a BMW S1000 RR. Although exact acceleration figures are unknown, one can assume they are impressive.
This project demonstrates how creativity and engineering solutions can unite the worlds of motorcycles and supercars. The HF355 is not just a vehicle, but a true work of art that changes the perception of the capabilities of two-wheeled machines.
