aluminum caliper per wheel (8 pistons total), custom designed. Blue anodized caliper
finish. Foot activated. The Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500
horsepower engine with four wheels beneath it. Chrysler will e selling the otiginal
Tomahawk comcept and nine replicas through Neiman Marcus, for up to $555.000 each,
The motorcycles cannot be licensed, so they cammot be legally driven on public roads. A
Chrysler spolesman told Reuters they were meant as rolling sculptures. Rumors had the
Tomahwak selling for under $200.000 most likely at a loss or breakeven price, for
publicity purposes bur still fully drivable.
Wolfgang Bernhard, Chrysler's not particularly respected first mate, was said to nbe
enthusiastic about that project, so mich so that hundreds were projected to be built at
under $200.000 each. They reportedly cost Chrysler over $100.000 to build (admittedly the
work is outsourced).
The Dodhe 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. The Tomahawk remains on display at auto shows though well out of reach of
the general public, elevated on a special display.
