With a turbo Hayabusa engine, this is the Bond Bug from hell
By 
Originally powered by a 700cc four-cylinder engine, the quirky Bond Bug was never a speed demon.
However, this British guy has transformed his three-wheeled Bug into the devil's golf cart.
Using a high-revving 1.3-litre engine from a Suzuki Hayabusa with an added turbo, around 225kW is sent to the rear wheels.
With that type of power in such a small car, you can imagine just how much of a handful it is.
Even on the dragstrip it struggles to gain traction, but still manages to blow everything away running the quarter mile (400m) in just over 11 seconds.Â
