I just fixed up my gokart. it had a 175 yamaha 2 stroke on it with no second gear. It was fast but not great for trails. I put big tires and a tecumseh 8hp on it with a torque converter. much more manageable now.

Freightliner SuperTruck hauls goods, sips fuel
Freightliner SuperTruck hauls goods, sips fuel | Fox News

Quote:
Freightliner has unveiled the result of its SuperTruck project, and it lives up to the name.

The tractor-trailer was developed in partnership with a five-year, $115 million Department of Energy program that challenged truck makers to improve big rig fuel economy by at least 50 percent, and match the funding by the same amount.

Freightliner did that, and more. Its loaded 65,000-pound semi returned 12.2 mpg during a real world highway test, 115 percent better than the average truck on the road today.

Looks like center seat, carbon tub, dihedral doors. McLaren F1's were powered by a BMW V12 so it wouldn't be too strange to see a BMW roundel on the steering wheel (presumably changed by the owner).
