The Mitsuoka K-4 may be pedal-car small, but at least it's probably scary as hell to drive and you can put it together yourself. (Those are pretty serious selling points for some.) Although the K-4 is powered by 50cc engine and tops out at 30 mph, we'd still get one just to bang around the Jalopnik country estate in, like Master Bates in "The Toy." [Thanks to Ilari for the tip.]

Endless gonna-kill-myself-unless-police-finds-me-first modding possibilities. Mmm.
Let's get a few of those, squeeze some more out of that 50cc engine and pretend we're Fangio and the like: http://b.f1-facts.com/ul/a/2093
@il_finn: Can you say gsx 1000 engine potential!
SUPER R1 TRANSPLANT POTENTIAL
I was going to suggest a Hayabusa engine, but the Gixxer 1000 or R1 engines would work great too.
For that matter, even a Harley V-Twin would be an improvement over that 50cc mill. You could mount it on the front of the car like the old Morgan three-wheelers.
Looks a bit like an Allard J2
Super Mazda Rotary Potential!
Meh. Deluxe go-kart.
