1/7/2003: "Tomahawk" concept motorcycle

Undertoad · 01-07-2003, 11:38 AM

It's Int'l Auto Show time which means that there are a lot of concept cars being shown. And in this case, concept motorcycles. This particular one from Dodge shares the engine from their Viper, has a four-wheel suspension and can go 400 MPH.

And now it's time to imagine wiping out at a speed usually reserved for jets. First picture the fastest you've ever gone in a car and imagine wiping out at that speed. Now multiply that by 4. (or whatever.)

Or maybe - imagine if you hit a 3-foot wall. Assuming that you're in a rather flat area, how far would your body travel? The math is left as an exercise to the reader.

The dude above, by the way, is the COO of Chrysler Group. I like a hands-on COO.
