Neither silent nor green (though you may still have some fun with it):

Technically that's not a car. It's a kart with a motorbike engine that just happens to have a bathtub for a chassis.

The Internet is full of such things. How about a Rover SD1 with a 27 litre Rolls Royce Meteor Engine?

Or the Peel P50, the worlds smallest series produced car?

Or a Mitsuibishi Colt with with 978bhp?

Or a 5000bhp (claimed) engine that's never possibly going to go in a car, be road legal, not overheat or put that power down to the road?

Or Japanese tuners who think that this is even in the slightest bit good?
