Dodge Tomahawk


This is a concept vehicle which was produced by Dodge. The Dodge Tomahawk was introduced at the 2003 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. It has an unusual design, featuring a 500 hp (373 kW) 8.3 L V10 Dodge Viper engine. It has 2 front wheels and 2 rear wheels. One could see this as a motorized quadricycle rather than a typical motorcycle. It was reported that hand-built examples of the Dodge Tomahawk would be produced on order. 9 of them might have been sold. With a price tag of $550,000, I doubt that the amount of Dodge Tomahawks sold would be more than that. The Dodge Tomahawk has an estimated top speed of more than 300 miles an hour (480 km/h or faster). It has a 2 speed manual transmission and front double horizontal fork suspension. It's highly unlikely that one would find a vehicle like this advertised in the classifieds. It's way overpriced in my opinion and definately not for the faint at heart. I wouldn't want to hit a speed bump travelling at a ridiculous top speed on that thing.
