Viper-powered Tomahawk to be offered for sale

Remember the Tomahawk, which debuted a few years ago on the auto show circuit? Maybe a better question would be: How could you forget it?

There had been some speculation that it might actually see limited production, and apparently the-powers-that-be at DaimlerChrysler have given the green light. The 500 hp V-10 Frankencycle will be marketed as the Chrysler (not Dodge) Tomahawk, and will cost a cool $250,000, give or take a few pennies...

Don't forget to check out the video on this site. I found it interesting in that they didn't show it banked over going through some twisties.

Doesnt he have a gas turbine bike?

Yes, I believe he does.

[martin_fierro]

Here's that new bike pic I've been threatening you with.

'Cuz dude, you. Are. Due.

< |:)~

[blackie]

Yer bad! >:-}

[pt17]

That shouldn't be blackie, he's way too young to be playing with that many cylinders.

[Publius6961]

BUMP!

[blackie]

I was born in 1930 ~ is that to young. >:-}>:-}

[pt17]

is that to young?

Well, I pretty much knew your age but, judging from the fact you haven't yet graduated to a "geezer glide," I will stand by my statement. :-)

[pt17]

All kidding aside, If I owned one of those things, you'd probably be one of the few people I'd let on it!

[Jeff Chandler]

Is it a valid investment vehicle (accidental pun) for a 401K?

[Cogadh na Sith]

'K... I'm starting a Freeper collection to buy it.

Gimme 250K, I'll ride it, write a report about it, call it 'The Freeper Cycle" and take it to Patriot Guard rides!

[baltodog]

One bump, and you're out of commission...

[MarkL]

Leno was my first thought when I saw the tag.

Doesnt he have a gas turbine bike?

Yes, he does. He said it certified his membership in the "More Money than Brains" club.

Nah. If that's gonna be blackie's, it's gonna need a blower!

;-)

[Toby06]

Unpredictable turbos, like the GPZ 750 turbo, would be fun.

[SFC Chromey]

Oh yeah...about 3 hours after they start selling. Heck I still see cars like the Lotus Elise up there that otherwise are never seen on the roads!

I wonder if the Boss Hoss will be its' magazine shootout competition...

[blackie]

"Well, I pretty much knew your age but, judging from the fact you haven't yet graduated to a "geezer glide," I will stand by my statement. :-)"

No ""geezer glides" for the old curmudgeon; I've never owned a bike with a windscreen/fairing of any kind. My first two bikes were Harleys; one a 45 and the other a 74 Hydra Glide. I had one other Harley; a 1200cc Sportster just prior to the SV650.

All the of rest have been foreign standard sport and dirt bikes.

"All kidding aside, If I owned one of those things, you'd probably be one of the few people I'd let on it!"

Thanks ~ I would give it go, if there was a large turn around area. >:-}

[blackie]

"Nah. If that's gonna be blackie's, it's gonna need a blower!"

Damn, that would give a little more zip, wouldn't it. >:-}

Ya can't have too much horsepower.

[uglybiker]

Like Carrol Shelby said:

Too much horsepower is just enough!

[blackie]

A quote from the best!

I've seen him drive a race car, back in the 50's.
He could drive!
