DODGE TOMAHAWK –

TOP SPEED: 420 MPH

The Dodge Tomahawk, which can reach speeds of 420 miles per hour while maintaining aerodynamics, resistance, and stability, takes the title of fastest motorcycle in the world. Dodge press releases and spokespeople gave various hypothetical top speeds ranging from 300 mph to as high as 420 mph, which analysts thought were probably calculated with horsepower and final drive ratio alone, without accounting for drag, rolling resistance, and stability. These estimates, and the more conservative 250 mph a designer suggested could be possible, were debunked as implausible, or physically impossible, by the motorcycling and automotive media. No independent road tests of the Tomahawk have ever been published, and the company said that in internal testing it was never ridden above 100 mph.The Tomahawk was sold through the Neiman Marcus catalog at a price of US$555,000, and as many as nine are thought to have been have sold. As they were not street legal, Dodge said the reproductions were "automotive sculpture", "intended for display only" not fully operational.
