One of the greatest-sounding engine designs of the last 100 years is the flat-plane-crank V8. High revving, guttural, and delivering the noise of the Old Gods, it's an architecture that's powered modern supercars and sports cars, and instant classics alike. And one of the best flat-plane V8 cars of all time is that of the Ferrari 355.
The Ferrari 355 is one of those cars that, to this day, more than 30 years later, still drips of sex appeal. Its design is still poster-worthy, as the classic shape remains perfectly proportioned. And the V8 hiding behind the firewall, well, that's still one of the greats, which is why when Max Hazan sought to create something special, i.e., a very special motorcycle, he plucked the V8 out of an old Ferrari 355, and built a chassis around it.
I mean, what else are you going to do?
