Tomahawk

The Tomahawk Concept
This is the wild one. Imagine a 500-horsepower Viper engine on wheels. No chassis or body, just wheels. That’s the Tomahawk. Wolfgang Bernard, outfitted in the requisite leather jacket, drove this concept onstage.


This 4-wheel motorbike is a mechanical sculpture, with nothing but outrageous performance in mind. Weighing only 1,500 lbs., the Tomahawk can reach 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. Top speed is estimated to be around 300 mph, but that hasn’t been verified. Yet. When Dieter Zetsche, president and CEO of the Chrysler Group asked if this vehicle would ever be produced, the response was “maybe,” which is more than many other automaker execs would have granted.

WHoa seen this on TV last night, all I can say is be afraid.. very afraid.

I just saw that on some auto show website... very, very strange. I wonder if it will ever go into production. It would probably be a lot of fun to ride on...

HAHAHA, from what i saw, they were not sure wheather or not this will go into production. I doubt it will. I think Dodge just made this to impress people and the people at the car show what a v-10 looks like and show it off some. :silly2: Don't look like it would be hard to drive. The noise factor this thing makes is just awsome

Nice, but I don't think it will come out.

[Scott 02]

I do. I think they will make no more than 200 of them.

[450HPviper]

Try less then 100!!

[Hudson]

My guess is ONE.

[jon@af]

I myself wouldnt mind driving that badboy! I might die in the process of trying, but damn, it would be worth it.

[Scott 02]
