Max Hazan Created the HF355, a Handmade Motorcycle Equipped with a Ferrari 355 V8 Engine; Unique Project, 267 Kg, and a Roar That Will Excite Any Speed Enthusiast.
When someone mentions Ferrari engines, the first image that comes to mind is that of an Italian supercar cutting through the asphalt, with the unmistakable roar of a V8 engine echoing in the background. But American Max Hazan, known for creating exclusive motorcycles, decided to break all the molds. He opted to install a Ferrari 355 engine into a motorcycle – a project as bold as it is ingenious, already drawing attention worldwide.
Hazan, who is already a reference among customizers for turning insane ideas into functional machines, named the project HF355. The base? None. The mechanic started from scratch, literally building the motorcycle around the engine. The naturally aspirated V8 block, originally used in a Ferrari 355, is the heart and starting point of the entire build.
A Handcrafted Motorcycle, No Computer and No Rush
What makes the project even more impressive is the method of working. Hazan did not use AutoCAD, modeling software, or 3D printers to define the motorcycle design. Each piece was hand-drawn, cut, shaped, and assembled artisanally, something rare in an increasingly digital world.

The Toyota Hilux is R$ 75.5 thousand cheaper and bets on the 2.8 turbodiesel engine with up to 204 hp and 50.9 kgfm to catch up with the VW Saveiro, which leads with 4,472 sales.
The body panels are unique, made piece by piece, and the entire structure was designed to accommodate such a large engine without turning the motorcycle into something disproportionate. The goal, according to Hazan, is to create a motorcycle that, despite the colossal engine, has proportions close to those of a traditional bike.
Weight, Dimensions and Project Details
Even carrying a Ferrari V8, the motorcycle impresses with its balance: it weighs about 267 kg with all the fluids necessary for operation. For comparison, this weight is close to that of a Harley-Davidson Touring.
Still in development, the project is slowly progressing. Hazan is working on the model in his spare time, and just in the past few weeks the motorcycle made its first launches, powered solely by the V8 engine, revealing the sound that every speed enthusiast expects: the unmistakable roar of a Ferrari now in a motorcycle.
A Roar That Excites
Anyone who has heard a Ferrari V8 engine knows there is something almost hypnotic about the sound. Now, imagine that in a motorcycle. The video released by Hazan shows the HF355 in action, and the engine noise is a blend of aggression and mechanical precision, the kind of roar that makes any enthusiast crank up the volume of the video.
It’s not just about power or speed – it’s an exercise in creativity and mechanical passion, placing one of the most iconic engines in the world into a completely unexpected context.
A Unique Project in the World
Max Hazan is already known for building custom motorcycles that look more like works of art. But with the HF355, he went further. There is no record of another motorcycle equipped with a Ferrari 355 V8 engine, and there likely will never be anything similar on a large scale.
The idea, according to the creator himself, is to continue the project until the motorcycle is fully functional, but without compromising the artisan essence: everything is done by hand, piece by piece, with the patience of someone who treats creation as art.
Max Hazan’s project proves that engineering can go beyond the limits of the traditional market. The HF355 is not just a motorcycle equipped with a Ferrari V8 engine, it is the realization of an idea that seemed impossible.
Weighing 267 kg, with a unique design, handmade parts, and a breathtaking roar, the motorcycle shows that sometimes genius arises from the passion and courage to dare.
And for fans, the promise remains: when the project is completed, the HF355 will be one of the most iconic and radical motorcycles ever built – and its sound, an anthem for any motor lover.
