CONCEPT Dodge Tomahawk

Dodge Tomahawk
Okay, so it's technically not a car, but the Tomahawk does have four tires, so we're including it. The Dodge Tomahawk shows just what happens when you take a 500-horsepower Viper engine, and build something kind of like a motorcycle around it. Tipping the scales at less than half the weight of most supercars, the published performance figures of 0 to 60 mph in 0.75 seconds with a top speed of 750 mph are guaranteed to generate a double take. Of course these figures are just theoretical (another Dodge release pegged the top speed at 420 mph), as nobody has yet had the cojones to test the Tomahawk's true potential. Amazingly, Dodge built 10 copies of the Tomahawk which were then sold through Neiman Marcus for a cool $550,000 each, as a non-running "rolling sculpture."
