Tell us what you think of this 8300 TOMAHAWK 2003

presentation of the 8300 TOMAHAWK 2003

Introduced at the 2003 Detroit Motor Show, the Tomahawk from American manufacturer Dodge (a subsidiary of Daimler-Chrysler) pushes the limits of the unbelievable. Is it really a motorcycle? It's hard to say. What counts above all is its motorization. In this respect, it's simple: absolute madness.

If you're going to make a crazy show bike, you might as well put a crazy engine in it. And the lucky one is none other than the Dodge Viper V10. A gigantic, tumbling mill with a displacement of over 8 liters. With its power, the bike is theoretically capable of knocking out a fighter jet on start-up. So much torque and watts that two chains are needed to transmit all the power.

500 horsepower - 71 mkg - a top speed in excess of 500 km/h that can be reached in 400 m... These are frightening figures, but they're only half astonishing given the sheer size of this beast. Aesthetically, the Tomahawk surprises, stuns and disturbs; it's a visual uppercut. When you come to your senses, you can't help but wonder: it's just an engine and wheels, basta. The front wheels are held by heavy-duty articulated arms connected to an aluminum monocoque frame. Each wheel is fitted with a 508 mm perimeter brake track on which 2 4-piston calipers bite. Rear braking is scarcely less impressive, also with 2 perimeter tracks, but with a single caliper per wheel. 4 discs and 16 pistons are not superfluous, as the machine weighs a whopping 680 kg.

DODGE 8300 TOMAHAWK what's even more incredible is that this atypical motorcycle can be turned at an angle. Aside from its sensational appeal, this is a highly polished concept that can be ridden and not just surprised. The American manufacturer is even planning to create a small series to satisfy enthusiasts of surreal machines. Apart from the price, which will keep it in the hands of the elite, it's highly unlikely that this machine will be road-legal. I won't judge, but the photo on the right gives you an idea of what you'll look like riding such a monster.

Morpheus Model 2003

Why did you choose a less shocking design? I think it's futuristic and very well done

"Is it really a motorcycle? Hard to say."
From near or far it looks like a motorcycle, it's just got 2 extra wheels. so what? it's got to hold its own at over 500Km/h! I think it's 640 or something like that. 01/25/2009 13:50 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Morpheus

team-joeba Model 2003

i think many of you have missed the point of making such a bike. it's a concept, a technological showcase of dodge's know-how. Of course, it's barely roadworthy, or even trackworthy, but that's not the point. It's an atypical motorcycle, a show bike. 07/12/2006 12:36 Rating : 5/5 Respond to team-joeba

minioim

engineers generally write without too many mistakes... it helps their credibility.

motorcycles with 1hp/kg are a dime a dozen (incidentally, the tomahawk doesn't even have 1hp/kg, does it?) and none of them reaches 500km/h in 400m... motor engineer -_- on the internet surely. but IRL? 07/12/2013 00:55 Rating : 2/5 Participate in the conversation

tonton ala Model 2003

OK, it's useless, but we have to admit that in this country there are design offices that work their asses off, and legislators who are less stupid than our own. Here, you get lit up for a non-regulated plate, so I find this TRUC HALLUCINANT, BEAUTIFUL AND DEMONIC. 12/10/2005 18:35 Rating : 5/5 Respond to tonton ala

Raekwon Model 2003

I applaud the most delirious exercise in style, but of course you can't expect to see it on the road one day. Another thing that makes me laugh is that the bike does 500 at speed, but the rider doesn't even have a breeze... at 200km/h on a roadster you're already wondering when your neck is going to give out, but at 500... 10/26/2005 11:41 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Raekwon

lami Model 2003

It's just an exercise in style and know-how. My hat's off to those who imagined this beast and, above all, built it. This work of art will be produced in a dozen copies for billionaires only (US$250,000) and to be admired only because it will never be allowed on the road. I'd still find a way to try it out, if only to rent a circuit. 09/14/2005 04:44 Rating : 5/5 Respond to lami

popof Model 2003

what's the use of such a machine?
too big to go between cars
too powerful under acceleration, you'll get stuck in the car in front of you too expensive you'll have to win a euro million to get on the waiting list of buyers, not to mention the gas station subscription and, above all, the fact that your insurer can see you coming from the distance (he can hear you too)
seriously, it's perfect for the next starwars 08/31/2005 14:49 Rating : 5/5 Respond to popof

LOL Bande Model 2003

Like it doesn't turn? => it's marked in the article, it has an angle, it can turn very easily so..
Then it doesn't lift? LOL

What??? They are going to make more for some of them??? Are they going to plough their gardens with it or not???

It's... a car!!! can you see yourself going 450 km/h on the ring road between the two lanes??!! Or maybe your name is M. Schumacher and you've got Superman's balls !!!!
