Dodge Tomahawk concept motorcycle: 500hp, over 300mph top speed

[Ultima]

Detroit, Michigan - Perhaps the oddest vehicle introduced in Detroit on Monday was the V10 powered Dodge Tomahawk concept. This four-wheel, single-passenger vehicle has a 500-horsepower Viper V-10 engine powering the dual rear wheels which gives it a potential top speed of nearly 400 miles per hour, "for anyone who wants to test it," says the company. Its 0 to 60 mph time is estimated at 2.5 seconds.

"The Dodge brand philosophy always challenges us to grab life by the horns," said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President - Design, Chrysler Group. "In the case of Tomahawk, grabbing and holding onto anything for dear life is a necessity."

Initial reaction to the concept vehicle came in two words: "Wow" and "why." "This is a bold faced slap against mediocrity," Creed said. "Tomahawk is a scintillating example of what creative minds can do when given the opportunity to run free. It is a pure mechanical sculpture and a joyous celebration of the artistry and emotion of design."

Oh yeah, it IS a repost of a repost of a repost... I didn't know it was called the Tomahawk though. That's pretty funny.

Despite the number of reposts (or in fact, because of them): Dodge has done exactly what they set out to do, which is to call attention to themselves through the unveiling of a concept vehicle. Regardless of whether or not it ever makes it to production, they've already made their money off of it.

The insurance will probably cost more than the bike itself

Man, can't Dodge stop reusing that old truck engine? Jeez, it's so old the only way they can get more power out of it is to make it bigger.
