Superbike concepts inspired by supercars
What would happen if seven supercars were transformed into superbikes?Superbikes and supercars belong to a special club – they are fast, beautiful, and usually reserved for the elite or cashed-up.
Manufacturers recognise it too – look at the new BMW M 1000 RR, a high-spec superbike inspired by the Munich firm’s legendary M series of cars.
But what would other supercar-inspired superbikes look like? What if the likes of Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche or McLaren decided to build high-powered superbikes for the track?
The team at Budget Direct wondered the same thing and created seven renders showing what it would look like if supercar manufacturers got in on the two-wheel caper. Most of them will probably never happen. But we can dream, right?

Aston Martin Valhalla
The famous British brand has actually built a superbike already – the AMB-001 – with the help of Brough Superior. But a Valhalla-inspired superbike would make a lot of sense. The upcoming Valhalla is being made in collaboration with Red Bull Racing – a race team well-versed in winning on the track. This Valhalla superbike concept would be right at home both on the road and the track.
Ferrari F8 Tributo
Is there a car manufacturer more iconic than Ferrari? It’s okay, we’ll wait. The F8 Tributo is one of the most mind-bending V8’s in Ferrari’s history, and the thought of translating those ideas into a superbike is simply too much to handle. This Ferrari concept is all about aerodynamics and race track prowess. And that classic Ferrari badge on the iconic red colourway? My, oh my.
Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut
Perhaps one of the lesser-known brands on this list, Koenigsegg is a Swedish sports-car maker that was founded in 1994. The company’s Angleholm factory is at an abandoned airfield, and all vehicles made there carry the special Ghost badge – a symbol used by the Swedish air force. Koenigsegg’s superbike naturally carries the Ghost badge, as well as unique Swedish style.
Lamborghini Veneno
Lambo is another company that has already dipped its toes in the two-wheeled world. The Italian brand recently teamed up with its subsidiary, Ducati, to build a special ‘Lamborghini’ Diavel 1260. But this Veneno-inspired superbike would be more than just a marketing exercise. There are only three Veneno’s in existence, at $4.6million each, but they use the same heart as the Adventador. That means a Veneno superbike would be super-exclusive, but also super-fast.
McLaren Senna
The words McLaren and Senna are music to any F1 fan's ears, so a McLaren supercar named Senna is a no-brainer. A Senna motorcycle would carry the same F1 glamour and style, and would be right at home on the racetrack.
Pagani Huayra
This Italian supercar maker is 29 years old, and in that time it has established itself in the world of blistering four-wheel performance. So how would it go with two-wheels? This Pagani Huayra-inspired superbike has plenty of Italian style, with the power figures to match.
Porsche 918
The term ‘masterpiece’ is thrown around a lot, but the Porsche 918 is worthy. The German manufacturer knows how to blend incredible performance with classic style that is unmistakably Porsche. This 918 superbike is no different, with a 918-inspired shape and old-school café racer charm. Put it on a track and you’ll have a hard time catching it.
