It&#8217;s a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine sitting out in the elements with some wheels beneath it. The price would be at least $250,000, and there would be only a few hundred made. Frankly, we suspect the Tomahawk will be built, due to a huge amount of public interest.<br \/>\nThe Dodge Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of nearly 400 mph. Each pair of wheels is separated by a few inches and each wheel has an independent suspension. Bernhard said four wheels were necessary to handle the power from the engine.<\/p>\n<p>Somebody spent a lot of time watching <i>Tron<\/i> when they were a kid.<\/p>\n<p><small>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/boingboing.net\/2003_07_01_archive.html#200443651\">BoingBoing<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It might be worth dying a horrible, flying, flaming death, just to get aboard this beauty.
