This is the pinnacle of insane power-to-weight ratios. Meet the Wazuma quadbike built by French automobile and motorcycle builder Lazareth. In pure engineering ingenuity, Lazareth has managed to shoehorn an entire BMW V12 engine into the Wazuma . And to keep the environmentalist at bay, Lazareth has tuned the engine to run on eco-friendly E85 ethanol.

A trip up to Genting Highlands with Ryan (Z4 MCoupe) and Shaun (S2000) ended at the outdoor parking area where we chilled out for a bit in the chilly and wet weather. The wet and cold surface calls for some donuts and by the 6th and a half baked donut, the V12 spews smoke. Popped the bonnet and more oil sprinkles up and everywhere being flicked from the radiator fan. The V12 is now caramalized from the oil glaze. As for what went wrong, it was an oil hose failure.
Here’s Meguiar’s CEO Barry Meguiar posing with my humble ride. It’s a real pleasure meeting the legend today especially having been a Meguiar’s die hard fan for years. He is here in Malaysia on a business tour along with his great team of Meguiar’s staff. Special thanks to Meguiar’s Distributor, Hypercoat for the media invitation. It’s a shame the car wasn’t detailed prior to this.

BMW Tuner G-Power has just announced that during recent testing at the Papenburg test track in Germany, its 750hp twin-supercharged HURRICANE RS M5 set a new WORLD RECORD for the fastest sedan. With a stop speed of 367.5 km/h (228.4 mph) the Hurricane eclipsed the Mercedes CLS-based Brabus Rocket, which set a speed of 365.7 km/h (227.2 mph). The Hurricane RS is a slightly more powerful version of the standard production Hurricane with 750hp versus 730hhp. The gain was made by raising boost pressure in both ASA superchargers from 10.1 lbs to 11.6 lbs.
According to G-Power CEO and engineer Christian Stöber, the Hurricane is capable of topping its own record as boost can be raised as high as 14.5 lbs. “We are curious if this will be necessary…” reads the end of the company’s press release, a definite challenge to the boys at Brabus.
