Dodge Tomahawk
Call it an engine on wheels. Better yet, call it a big engine on wheels. Dodge may just get the honors for the vehicle that generates the most buzz at the North American International Auto Show with the Tomahawk, a concept "car" that features a 500-horsepower V-10 on a motorcycle body. The Tomahawk can go 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds and tops out somewhere over 300 mph. from Ultimatecarpage.com: The Viper-powered Dodge Tomahawk concept vehicle shatters all the barriers of conventional thinking about personal transportation. This four-wheel, single-passenger vehicle is a sleek, rolling sculpture that combines art-deco styling with extreme engineering. The 500-horsepower Viper V-10 engine powering the dual rear wheels gives this radical vehicle a potential top speed of nearly 400 miles per hour - for anyone who wants to test it. The Tomahawk roared into public view at the North American International Auto Show. Initial reaction to the concept vehicle typically comes in two words: 'Wow' and 'why.' The 'wow' is easy to understand from Dodge, the brand that continues to drive its foot to the floor - most recently with the all-new 2003 Viper, Heavy Duty and Light Duty Rams and an SRT lineup dedicated to engineering the most powerful production vehicles in their segments. But 'why' would a company, famous for its innovative car and truck designs, go down this particular path? The Dodge Tomahawk is a Chrysler Group design concept that is as much a Viper-powered work of art as it is a whole new type of vehicle invention. It is both a sculpture that can be ridden, as well as a bold statement about the Chrysler Group's enthusiast culture and passion for design. Pic Two Pic Three Pic Four

Look! It's one hell of an engine stand for a viper motor!
Heh. Yeah I've seen that before. I think the people down at Dodge have just a lil bit too much time on their hands and too many spare V-10's. I'd gladly take on off their hands for them. A V-10 Polara. Gives me the giggles.

Do you really want to go 300mph on a bike? lol
I love going fast, but 300mph on a bike... I'm pretty sure everything is a blur around you. If you hit a rock or even if a bug hits you it's going to be like a bullet. But all in all, that is one damn sweet bike, and would be one hell of a ride. §am.

Question: 500hp V10=8mpg? where is the gas tank? i think if you rev it a couple of times, it will run out of gas!
wouldnt it flip you over if you did rev it?

You know, I would consider going for that car... maybe when I was 18!!!
Oh wait. I wasn't that suicidal then either. Reminds me of the mythical story where the guy strapped a JATO to his car to see what would happen and ended up smahing himself into the side of a mountain. |
