Concept: Subaru WRX Powered “KickBoxer”


We’ve seen a fair number of motorcycles powered by mighty engines like the V8, but the Kickboxer concept stands out simply because of the work put in by Ian McElroy for creating these renderings. As you may have already guessed, the motorcycle is built around the powerful engine of the Subaru WRX.

Ian wanted to put the Subaru WRX engine into a motorcycle, and he wanted to see beforehand how the result would look. So, he decided to use Solidworks for the job, a nice choice, but Ian had to learn using the software along the way as he created the motorcycle. He gets brownie points for the hard work he put in, and the fact that the motorcycle looks awesome just makes things better.

Proposed Specifications of the KickBoxer:

Engine: stock Subaru WRX
Turbo: stock IHI
Wheels: 5Ziggen “ProRacer”
Wheelbase: 56.5?
Rake: 20 degrees
Right angle gearbox: from a Mitsubishi AWD car
Transmission: Baker Torquebox
Belt drive: BDL
Front hub: rear hub, 1980’s GM car
Rear axle: modified Datsun 280Z stub axle
