Here at QuickandBig.com we are privileged (if not a little intimidated) to be able to offer for sale from our owners private collection, the unique MK Indy ZX10R2. Powered by not one, but two Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R engines, its running around 382bhp and weighs in at only 677kg wet, giving approx. 560bhp / tonne.
Our extreme MK is accompanied by a huge folder of build history, including receipts / manuals / build photographs etc. The receipts for parts alone totaling approx. £35k, not to mention the non-receipted items and the hundreds of hours of skilled labour, that went into completing this most extreme of road / track cars.
Our unique MK, has also been magazine featured, it was the front page feature car, with a 5 page feature in Total Kit Car Magazine (a copy comes with the car), and was also featured by Autocar in a You Tube drag race, the link is below:

There is also an interesting blog about its build on the MK Sports Cars website:

MK Sports Cars have built an enviable reputation for their Lotus 7 inspired, track focused Indy, they are a long standing manufacturer of factory and kit built cars, with several hundred Indy’s on the road and track. They have a strong community following.
YJ67GKV, our unique twin engine example was built by an enthusiast and former MK Engineer between 2015 – 2017, and was IVA’d and registered correctly as a MK Indy ZX10R2 on an age related (67) plate on 14/8/17.
Our stunning Indy was the brain child of a former MK engineer (named Matthew), it was his fourth private MK build. He embarked on a plan to build a twin engined MK, having read a 2002 magazine article on the then, worlds fastest 0-60pmh road car, the twin engine Tiger Z100, a copy of the inspirational magazine also accompanies the car.
The rear wheel drive Tiger Z100, featured in that article was fitted with the less powerful (140bhp each) carb fed 899cc Kawasaki ZX9 engines and was timed at 3.1 seconds to 60mph. Matthew then aged 15 was hooked, he vowed one day to build a twin engined Lotus 7 type car himself.
Rolling forward 13 years, and Matthew commenced his two year build, included modifying and strengthening a new MK chassis, shoe horning the rebuilt pair of 2007 ZX10R Ninja engines into the chassis. The two, six speed sequential gear boxes, put their power through a drive box sourced from Tiger Racing, via a custom made prop shaft to Quaife diff (no chain drive here). It has mechanical reverse (not an electric motor), which terrifyingly means technically it also has six sequential reverse gears!
It was a no compromise build, with all the right parts / brands being used, two Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R Ken Urwin rebuilt engines, billet dry sump kits, Weldon oil pump, Dynojet Power Commanders, decatted with twin Micron Beta Competition silencers (a pair of cats and the original Tiger exhausts accompany the car), independently switched aux 1.5hp cooling fan, Willwood Powerlight front calipers / drilled discs / Mintex pads, Proteck double adjustable shock absorbers, Compomotive Motorsport wheels, Avon road legal semi slicks (185/55/13’s front and 215/55/13’s rear, 5mm of tread all round), Coolex custom built double radiator with two fans, Sabelt 4 point harnesses, light weight MK seats (drivers on runners), OMP detachable flat bottom steering wheel, braced roll cage with side bars, no wonder the parts invoices in the file alone approach £35k!
Stock ZX10R engines produce 181bhp each, the rebuilt units in our MK are more free breathing and Dynojetted, in its accompanying Magazine article the builder speculates total power is now approaching 400bhp, if so 600bhp per tonne is possible. Two big bike engines, with a 12,000 plus RPM red line, induction noise inches in front of you, exhausts inches to your left, the experience and sound are incredible.
Please see the links below from a Brands Hatch track day and little blast taken from the passenger seat, which hopefully capture its super car acceleration, and awesome noise.
Our Kawasaki powered Indy, looks contemporary in brilliant white, with black accessories, along with plenty of carbon look / carbon fibre (aero screen, front wheel arches, rear lights, dash board).
We have just had it corner weighted by local race car specialists, Bushell’s Motorsport, it weighs in (wet) at 677kg, its therefore around 560bhp per tonne.
Our ballistic Indy has had 3 former keepers, and has done very little work since its build, currently showing an indicated 951 miles. Its MOT history shows 661 miles in 2021, and 721 at its most recent test, which was passed with no advisories expired on 20/3/24, we will of course put a fresh MOT on it before sale.
It comes with a box of spares, fluids etc, a Haynes manual for the Kawasaki Ninja, and 2 sets of keys. Our unique twin engine MK also comes with a set of written start procedures, as it has 2 electric cut offs, 1 ignition barrel key, and a further 2 keys, one for each bike engine. It also comes with a picture describing the dash buttons.
Many thanks for wading through our lengthy description, we believe it’s better to describe our cars fully. It is not in our interest to waste your time or ours, with inaccurate or incomplete descriptions. Apologies for using so many superlatives, but it really is awesome!
Our engineer built, twin Ninja engined MK Indy, really does tick all the QuickandBig.com boxes, it is great value, very, very quick, beautifully presented, road registered and absolutely unique. Nobody else in the paddock or at a car meet will have anything even close, it will certainly draw a crowd!
