With our next submission, the saying вЂWhen life gives you lemons, make lemonadeвЂ™ comes to mind.

Hang onвЂ¦В since when has вЂstudyingвЂ™ ever been this much fun?

Despite these seemingly low power and torque numbers, the University teamвЂ™s 2014 car weighs in at a tiddly 398lbs (thatвЂ™s only 180kgs!), it can accelerate to 60mph from a standstill in 2.8 seconds and can sustain up to 1.5gs when cornering. As you can see in theВ full side profile imageВ above, thereвЂ™s something very cool and menacing about the low, aggressive, purely functional design of the Auburn teamвЂ™s creations.Д«oth cars feature a hybrid carbon fiber monocoque front chassis with a 4130 chromoly steel rear space-frame, andВ make power courtesy ofВ modified 2008 Yamaha R6 motorcycle engines producing 85hp and 42ft-lbs of torque (due to the mandated 20mm intake restrictions). Joseph is part of the Auburn University Formula SAE racing team, who so far have designed and createdВ two bike-engined builds the car above being their 2013 entry and the car below being from last year. However, the firstВ bike-powered FSAEВ submission that stood out to us wasВ from Alabama resident Joseph Stitt. This month we received a huge volume of email submissions containingВ Formula SAE cars (Formula-style race cars built for anВ engineering design competition for students),В and it was certainly tricky to narrow these down, as they were all impressive. So, in no particular order, letвЂ™sВ take a closer lookвЂ¦ Thank you to all those readers who sent in their submissions and made this article possible! WeвЂ™ve got Subarus, Datsuns, Fiats, Formula SAE cars, a plethoraВ of Minis and, well, a few other oddities, as youвЂ™ll soon find out. Building a bike-powered car generally isnвЂ™t an easy task it takes ingenuity, creativity and thinking outside the box, and youвЂ™re about to see a whole lot of that in this story featuring a selection of bike-engined cars owned by some of our readers. For more information, go to just going to put this out there: motorcycle-engined cars are pretty damn awesome, which is exactlyВ why this monthвЂ™s theme is dedicated to them.
