If we are to believe everything we read about this GoKart than it is fair to say that this one is possibly the most amazing small GoKart ever. It was imagined as GoKart which should brake the 200 mph. Imagine reaching such speeds while sitting only a few inches from ground with nothing around to protect you!? Well, the guy who wanted to do that didn’t make it. The six-wheeled GoKart went out full blast and at 181 mph the tire blew up. He went so far as to contact the manufacturers of the GoKart tires and asked them to make a tire which will be able to hold on such ferocious speeds, but the project was never fully implemented.
You probably wonder what the hell did that GoKart have for an engine!? Well, the name reveals it all really. It is an R1 GoKart meaning that the Yamaha R1 engine is strapped at the back of it. Sourced from the 2005 Yamaha R1, the engine in this GoKart develops more than 180 HP and it is definitely more than enough to push this thing to some serious speeds. In the video we embedded, you can enjoy the drive on the public roads. Of course, this is illegal, but then again, if you have a ride like this, you simply have to go for a ride with it ignoring the law. We cannot even imagine what it’s like to ride in this thing at full throttle.
