To stir up interest in this....Suzuki Concept S
Suzuki Concept S
Specs
http://car-reviews.automobile.com/Suzuki/specs/2003-suzuki-concept-s/641/
There was a yellow Suzuki concept car that came out/flashed about the same time as the GSX-R/4 and the the "Radical" that car was
nice....looking for it now.
Hard to find but worth the wait....Lovely concept and do-able in a spartan/locost ideal.
The below car is the Hayabusa Prototype

Hayabusa Prototype
Nice little package.....
Look on the "specs page" it has a stripped rolling chasis that could pass for a modern Uncle Ron Special danced out by suzuki. It has
pretty skin though....

I really like the yellow one. How much would that cost to realise on a locost chassis?

Depends on your skill....
Check out this guys mad skills..

or this guys....

I assume the guys that did the Haybusa Race car were an in-house design team. Usually they have any tool and technic at their disposal cost is not
the priority results are.
I remember that when the GSX R/4 came out I beleive popular science ran an article on it and some guy said they were for sale but estimated they
could be made for about $23,000.
(Road and trackhas an article written in 2003 saying it could produce the yellow one in 2006)

Just the full body kit made to fit the book would be nice....see this discussion already going on.

As the saying goes; "a picture paints a thousand words".
Just look at the length of the Y in the 4-2-1.
