Custom Skoda Pickup with Two Suzuki Motorcycle Engines

Published in engineswapdepot.com

Graham Bennett and his company BBGem (formerly BB Motorsport) created a custom Skoda pickup called “Skoduki”. The project starts with a custom chassis made from 38 mm tubing. It features double-wishbone front and rear suspension, Tractive coilovers, Vauxhall steering rack, and Wilwood disc brakes. The body is based on a Skoda Felicia pickup with widened fenders and Skoda Octavia VRS front. Under the hood sit two 1000 cc inline-four motors and sequential transmissions from Suzuki GSX-R1000 motorcycles. One motor is flipped 180-degrees with both outputs going into a custom gearbox. Then a single driveshaft sends power to another custom gearbox and 3.9 ratio differential. You can read more about the unique vehicle in the Skoduki project page.
