SUSPENSION:



FRONT


Outboard, single side parallel upper and lower control arms made from poloshed billet

aluminum. Mounted via ball joint to aluminum steering uprights and hubs, Five degrees

caster. Single, fully adjustable centrally located coil over damper (2.25 inch coil with

adustable spring perch); pullrod and rocker actuated mono linkage. Center lock racing

style hubs.


REAR:


hand fabricated box section steel inboard swing arms, incorporating "hydral link" lockable

recirculating hydraulic circuit parking stand. Single fully adjustable centrally located

koni coil over damper (2.25 inch coil with adjustable spring perch); pushred and rocker

actuated mono linkage. Center lock racing style hubs.


BRAKES:



FRONT

20 inch perimeter mounted drilled machined stainless steel rotors, one wheel. Two four

piston fixed aluminum calipers per wheel (16 pistons total), custom designed. Blue

anodized caliper finish. hand actived.


REAR

20 inch perimeter mointed drilled cast iron rotors, one per wheel. One four piston fixed

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.
