Todays Hot Wheels~ Dodge Tomahawk!!


Sound like a dejavu......you must be dreaming, this machine is not legal on public roads... Too bad for such a machine which can reach from 0-60 miles in 2.5sec!



The Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine with four wheels beneath it. The engine breathes through twin throttle bodies mounted right up front. (That's what the two round things above the front tires are).

Chrysler sold nine replicas through Neiman Marcus, for up to $555,000 each. The motorcycles cannot be legally driven on public roads. A Chrysler spokesman told Reuters they were meant as rolling sculptures - but they can probably still be driven on private roads (the rolling-sculpture comment may be designed to avoid legal liability).


Here is some specification on the machine :-

  • 500 bhp (372 kW) @ 5600 rpm (60.4 bhp/liter); 525 lb.-ft. (712 Nm) @ 4200 rpm
  • 10-cylinder 90-degree V-type, liquid-cooled, 505 cubic inches (8277 cc)
  • 356-T6 aluminum alloy block with cast-iron liners, aluminum alloy cylinder heads
  • Bore x Stroke: 4.03 inches x 3.96 inches (102.4 x 100.6)
  • Two pushrod-actuated overhead valves per cylinder with roller-type hydraulic lifters
  • Sequential, multi-port electronic fuel injection with individual runners
  • Compression Ratio: 9.6:1
  • Max Engine Speed: 6000 rpm
  • Fuel Requirement: Unleaded premium, 93 octane (R+M/2)
  • Oil System: Dry Sump; takes 8 quarts Mobil1 10W30 Synthetic
  • Cooling System: Twin aluminum radiators mounted atop engine intake manifolds, force-fed from front-mounted, belt-driven turbine fan. Takes 11 quarts of antifreeze.
  • Exhaust System: Equal-length tubular stainless steel headers with dual collectors and central rear outlets
And here is the preview clip.....
