Dodge Tomahawk.
Dodge Tomahawk.
The Dodge Tomahawk was a non-street legal, yet fully-functional, concept motorcycle that Dodge introduced at the 2003 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.The Dodge Tomahawk superbike boasts an 8.3- liter V10 engine, and it bursts from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds flat with a top speed of around 300 miles per hour. The 2010 Dodge Tomahawk puts out around 500 horsepower.
First up is the Dodge Tomahawk capable of speeds up to 420 mph and an acceleration of 0 to 60 miles an hour in 2.5 seconds. The estimated top speed was never tested and was based on horsepower and drive ratio but ignored wind resistance, drag and rolling resistance; some experts predicted that without proper streamlining a rider would be lifted off the bike like a kite at about 200 miles an hour.
