Without a doubt, some pranks are better than others. Some are just totally hilarious, well-executed, or both. And some pranks just won't leave your brain alone, prompting you to think about them long after the moment is over.
For Día de Los Inocentes 2024, Kawasaki España hit the latter note with an absolute vengeance. If you're unfamiliar with this holiday, it's kind of like April Fool's Day in some Spanish-speaking countries, only it's in December instead of April. To be more specific, it took place on Saturday, December 28.
And to celebrate the holiday, someone at Kawasaki España took the time to render this absolute banger of a fictitious single-seat racecar prototype, which it then dubbed the KW-H2R. And honestly, now I really want to see (and more importantly hear) it in real life.
The caption translates to, "For the first and limited time, we present the new single-seater from Kawasaki Racing Team...it'd be amazing to see on the circuits of Monaco, Las Vegas, Monza, or Interlagos. Meanwhile...Happy Day of the Innocents!"
I mean, it's not quite the same thing, but Yamaha is also getting active in Formula E, not just sticking to motorcycle racing. While it's clear that Kawasaki Spain was just playing a joke, the implication is that this would be a car powered by a supercharged H2R engine, right? But when you start to dig into the details, that's where things start to get complicated.
