MK Indy ZX10R2
This unique MK Indy ZX10R2 is powered by not one, but two Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R engines, running around 360bhp and weighing in at less than 600kg with
half a tank of fuel, giving approx. 600bhp / tonne.
This extreme MK Indy is accompanied by a massive folder of build history, including receipts/manuals/build photographs etc. The receipts for parts
alone totalling more than £35k, not to mention the non-receipted items and the hundreds of hours of skilled labour that went into completing this most
extreme of road/track cars.
This has as also been magazine featured, it was the front page car, with a 5-page feature in Total Kit Car Magazine (a copy comes with the car), and
was also featured by Autocar in a YouTube drag race.
There is also an interesting blog about its build on the MK Sports Cars website:
It comes with an as-new Triango PU360 tilting car trailer, with a hand winch, costing approximately £3,000. Perfect if you want to tow it to and from
the track.
MK Sports Cars have built an enviable reputation for their Lotus 7-inspired, track-focused Indy, they are a long standing manufacturer of factory and
kit built cars and have a strong community following.
This unique, twin-engine example was built by a former MK Engineer between 2015 & 2017. IVA’d and registered correctly as an MK Indy ZX10R2 on an
age-related (67) plate on 14/8/17.
This stunning Indy was the brainchild of a former MK engineer (named Matthew), it was his fourth private MK build. He embarked on a plan to build a
twin-engined MK, as a result of reading a magazine article on the then, world's fastest 0-60pmh car, the twin-engine Tiger Z100, a copy of the
inspirational magazine also accompanies the car.
The rear-wheel drive Tiger Z100 fitted with the less powerful (140bhp each) carb-fed 899cc Kawasaki ZX9 engines was timed at 3.1 seconds to 60mph.
Matthew, then aged 15 was hooked, he vowed one day to build a twin-engined Lotus 7-type car himself.
Rolling forward 13 years, Matthew commenced his two-year build, including modifying and strengthening a new MK chassis, shoehorning the rebuilt pair
of 2007 ZX10R Ninja engines into the chassis. The two, six-speed sequential gearboxes, put their power through a drive box sourced from Tiger Racing,
via a custom-made prop shaft to a Quaife diff (no chain drive here). It has mechanical reverse (not an electric motor), which terrifyingly means it
also has six sequential reverse gears!
It was a no-compromise build, with all the right parts/brands being used, two Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R Ken Urwin rebuilt engines, billet dry sump kits,
Weldon oil pump, Dynojet Power Commanders, decatted with twin Micron Beta Competition silencers (a pair of cats and the original Tiger exhausts
accompany the car), independently switched aux 1.5hp cooling fan, Willwood Powerlight front callipers/drilled discs/Mintex pads, Proteck double
adjustable shock absorbers, Compomotive Motorsport wheels, Avon road legal semi slicks (185/55/13’s front and 215/55/13’s rear, 5mm of tread all
round), Coolex custom built double radiator with two fans, Sabelt 4 point harnesses, lightweight MK seats (drivers on runners), OMP detachable
flat-bottom steering wheel, braced roll cage with sidebars. No wonder the parts invoices in the file alone approach £35k!
Stock ZX10R engines produce 181bhp each, the rebuilt units in my MK are more free-breathing and Dynojetted, in its accompanying Magazine article the
builder speculates total power is now approaching 400bhp. Two big bike engines, with a 12,000 plus RPM red line and incredible sound.
This Kawasaki powered Indy, looks contemporary in brilliant white, with black accessories, and plenty of carbon look/carbon fibre (aero screen, front
wheel arches, rear lights, dashboard.
Currently showing just over 1000 miles. Its MOT history shows 661 miles in 2021, and 721 at its most recent test, which was passed with no advisories
and does not expire until 20/3/24.
It comes with a box of spares, fluids etc, a Haynes manual for the Kawasaki Ninja, and 2 sets of keys. This unique, twin-engine MK also comes with a
set of written start procedures, as it has 2 electric cut-offs, 1 ignition barrel key, and a further 2 keys, one for each bike engine. It also comes
with a picture describing the dash buttons.
Many thanks for wading through this lengthy description, I believe it’s better to describe the car fully. Apologies for using so many superlatives,
but it really is awesome!
Any inspection welcome.
