Dodge Tomahawk Concept
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.
eek! eek! eek!

I'm sorry, the concept of a 1500 LBS (only!!!) motorcycle is just assinine!Dodge Tomahawk Concept
Weighing only 1,500 lbs.
The concept of a 4 wheeled motorcycle you can't lean is equally as assine!
WTF is the POINT behind that?
If I was an exec with Dahmler/Chrysler, I'd fire that dude and send him a personal bill for the R&D time and fabrication expenses that went into that thing!
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of 500 HP and 500 Ft/Lbs in a motorcycle, but 1500lbs and 4 wheels is NOT the way to do it.

Yes, Robotech !
I knew I had saw something like that before. I just coundn't find where.
Would be nice if it could be change into a "exo skeleton - body armor".
