As quoted from Motor1, the car was given the name Hayabusa because indeed it was inspired by the triumph of the Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa. Furthermore, this Suzuki HSP is also said as a street legal version of the company's racing car named Formula Suzuki Hayabusa, whose original form is like a Formula racing car, and used for hill-climb racing event in Japan.

Actually, the Japanese tiny prototype car could be an attractive sports car with quite small dimensions (in Japan dubbed as Kei Car) with 3.79 meters long, 1.76 meters wide and 1.1 meters high, of course it can be used comfortably and nimble in urban areas. As for its kitchen spur, of course it is taken from the legendary Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa which is capable of producing a maximum power burst of 175 hp and torque reaching 138 Nm.
Unfortunately, with all these advantages it has not been able to arouse Suzuki's interest in making it happen into the production version. And left alone the Suzuki HSP as the only Hayabusa's four-wheeled version ever made (at least until the appearance of the Suzuki's Hayabusa-powered Vision Gran Turismo virtually). *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | GLOBAL SUZUKI | MOTOR1 ]
