Inside the Dodge Tomahawk

The Dodge Tomahawk is a 500-horsepower V10 superbike that Dodge couldn't legally call a motorcycle — and every one sold came with a warning never to ride it. This is how it actually works. In 2003, Dodge dropped an 8.3-litre Viper V10 engine into a four-wheeled superbike, claimed a theoretical top speed of 300 mph, and sold replicas for $555,000 through the Neiman Marcus catalog — as rolling sculpture, not transport. In this video we break down the Dodge Tomahawk piece by piece: the Viper V10 at its core, the independent four-wheel suspension that lets it lean like a bike, and the engineering reality behind the 300 mph speed claim nobody has ever tested.
