- Today we continue with the Viper V10 engine series as we take a look at the 2003 Dodge Tomahawk concept. This was a crazy, outrageous, and powerful motorcycle with the Viper 8.3L V10 engine stuffed between the wheels. Although it didn't end up making it to production, Chrysler ended up with more praise than negativity for this bike, as they showed they were a company full of creative people not afraid to experiment outside their boundaries. The Tomahawk generated tons of attention, and sent a message that Chrysler was bold, ambitious, and fearless.

I just love the outrageousness of Dodge to build this beast! Also, Hot Wheels released a 1:64 scale casting of this bike, as well.
I have one
@@maxusgintus8160
I want one.
same, i too have one
I have one in black as well
I just got one in black. It’s really awesome.
I’ve seen this before when I was a kid, I always thought it looked so badass and the design seemed so advance that if no one recognized this bike before Chrysler can come out with this very bike again and cause the same if not more hype especially because it looks so modern
This bike is awesome and I agree. Pretty sure it would sell like hot cakes today.
I love what Dodge did in the late 90's and early 2000's, and the Tomahawk is no exception!
I can't believe dodge made a motercycle concept with a viper v10
Guess that’s what happens when business is booming lol
@@MarspeedCars which means since business is boomin’ right now, toss a hellephant at it 😂
350 mph super bike I want it
They didn't build a motorcycle. It is a car.
@@knight0334 I know, the motorcycle was a concept
I remembered this bike on Car&Driver magazine back in 2003 I was 10yrs old.
Never knew Dodge made a super bike... nice!
I never looked much into it but glad I finally did!
You didn't know that?.😧
Whaaat I use to dream about the tomahawk lol
When I was a young kid and saw this thing, I was quite literally frozen in time. It was just absolute madness to me, I mean what did you even have to compare it to....in 2003?! I didn't care if it really worked or not , or really thought about that sort of thing. Just looking at it was enough to get your adrenaline pumping and imagination flying off in every direction possible. I loved every bit of this madness back then, and still do even if it was really just sort of a rolling/running sculpture.
hell yea! appreciate you for not forgetting this special, beautiful work of art! . . . Chrysler ME-412?
Thanks! ME-412 video was done already! I linked it at the end of this vid 👍🏼
This is an engineering marvel for a concept vehicle. Sounds like it needed some revisions but it is beautifully designed and built.
Watching your video brought back good memories from 2003 when I read about the Tomahawk in Cycleworld. I remember in the article "0 to fatality in 2.6 seconds". The editors were impressed with the concept. But told how the test quadrocycle would idle in gear at 25mph. And the test rider accidentally tipped it over because Chrysler techs forgot to unlock the quad steering so it could pivot when turning.
I've been riding 19 years. I've never been a Chrysler guy. But I'll always remember the Tomahawk. And hope someone make quad cycles more common place and functional.
There are some chineese clones out there.
The range criticism is absolutely valid as far as I am concerned; I had the same criticism for most of the Orange County Choppers custom bikes (as I recall, so did Jesse James). For me, the ride "begins" at 100 miles. I don't want to have to stop for gas 3 times to get there. I think the Tomahawk is best defined as a "curiosity" - that is to say I am sure it would be fun to try it out on a closed course, but it's not practical enough to warrant purchase.
I would ride that bike 😎 i think its awesome that Dodge built this
*****"This was at the Nashville Auto Show, back in 2004. This, and the Mustang GT concept "new retro look for 2005". People lost their minds!
Vary creative engineering exercise. Makes all gear heads smile. thanks Chrysler.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you sooooo much for doing a video on the tomahawk! Awsome video!
That thing is gorgeous
Great video! The Tomahawk was truly a boss!
I totally forgot about this bike!! Great video!!
I remember seeing it here at an auto show and was in awe just seeing the concept.
But not sure if it's me getting older now, but when seeing it's side profiles, it doesn't really look that good anymore. Yet when the photos shows it at a 3/4 angle seeing both front/back and side, it still look amazing.
Maybe just me.
Very cool Video thanks for putting it together
I first came across the Tomahawk somewhere around 2009-2010, & thought it was one of the coolest things ever! It almost looks like one of the bikes from Tron, & I've always loved aggressive, futuristic designs. Speaking of, could someone who knows more about this sort of technical stuff explain to me why they went with the 4 small wheels, instead of 2 larger ones which would've made it even more like the Tron Lightcycle?
I remember seeing one of these at the Chrysler museum on the Chrysler world HQ grounds as a kid and it blowing my mind that it was a 4 wheel motorcycle let alone had a Dodge Viper engine. If you are ever near Auburn Hills MI I'd highly recommend going. From the Tomahawk to one off prototypes to M4 Sherman tank radial piston engines that museum is exilent.
That bike was cool and still is today ¡
Epic! Id buy one... That thing is just brutal. I can see it in the future to be built...
Saw this in Carlisle in early 2000s looks badass in person
Breathtaking machine
Perfect bike for the Terminator.
I give them credit for building it but I liked the two-wheeled one better. Thanks for sharing it. 👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦🇺🇸
thats bad ass but if you fall with that bike you aint getting it up 😂
I love it!!!
Great example of an engineering feat. To have that much H.P. under you, they better have the frame holding you in the seat because the thrust would leave you standing there as the bike flies out of your grip and down the road without you.
Most gorgeous bike ever made favorite since I was a kid
Beautiful bike
Since the bike was revealed I have been waiting for someone crazy enough to actually do a top speed run. I guess that is never going to happen. I would do it but I don’t have access to one 🤷♂️.
It's way to cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*fuel tank capacity 3.25 gallons*
That wouldn't be enough to get the bike down my street😂🤦🏿♂️
Saw it at the Peterson Museum in LA, was a crazy sight for sure.
Saw several of these being built at RM Motorsports in Wixom, MI. They were allowed to build about a dozen of these .. the last few sold for over $700K.
Remember when it was released on the world stage, Go I wanted one for fun of blowing cars at the lights
I remember when this concept came out the good old days.
Imagine if they made this in 2020 and actually put a lot more time and effort into
Now’s the perfect time to bring it back, limited release of like 50 and make it street legal!
Hell going by dodge trends it will have a hellcat motor like every other dodge car lol
@@repnatl bro imagine a hellephant with something that light around it. It would be the most American bike ever made
Would have been named some fiat name and been retarded. U guys have no idea. This was chrysler's last celebration
You can buy a chineese clone.
I got one of these in my back yard collecting dust right now. My kids crashed it back in 07
That thing is awesome! if it was perfected though years it would be awesome. And not so expensive it probably would have sold more. Can you do a video on the 6.2 hemi sc hellcat motors?
I love the Tomahawk even though in one of the quotes mentions that it has "chunks of V-Max in it's stool." As I am a VMax owner.
it simply is what it is
Extreme engineering at it's best!!!! Those that made negative comments are just jealous!!!! 😝😝🤣🤣👍
I remember this but I completely forgot everything about it besides it being powerful and the look. Of course i was young though
I remember seeing this at the Chicago Auto Show
Marspeed can you PLEASE do a video on the STRATUS
I always loved the tomahawk. How cool would've been if dodge actually made it...
Great video brother new subscribe here
This thing is fucking amazing
Ok there must’ve been at least one that was road legal because I’ve seen one driving on the street about 10 years ago in Port Perry Ontario Canada and the bike was being driven extremely fast. As cool as this bike is, it’s too crazy for me to want to ride.
...there is only a few vehicles in the world that
flat out terrify me..
here is the top beast on that list.
=:0
I loved it when I first saw the concept photos back in 03' and would've bought one myself if I could. Screw the feds, I would've thrashed it on & off track. Only cops that would stop you are ones that would want to ride it. 50 miles of range is perfect for track use. No wasted fuel storage, just enough to have fun for an hour and then refuel. I totally thought about the Alibaba-Hawks too. I think they look incredibly dangerous and super fun! I want the Carver Trike though. Best non-car ever!!!
How does dodge just make the fastest bike ever. Easily wiping experienced motorcycle brands.
I thought Jay Leno had one for some reason lol he loves one off vehicles
Good ole Jay Leno owns one as well. Not sure which one but I’m sure he was probably one of the two private owners that bought one.
I prefer the Alan Millyard Viper V10 motorcycle, built in a backyard shed.
“That cafe tractor racer is also a time machine “ said Captain America
Some of yall are young lol I always wanted the Tomahawk and the Chrysler ME412. Both can take my money 🤑🤑
You should do the Jeep Hurricane.
wow
I remember this when it was just a concept...
I want one, it sounds like a great beginner bike. Go big or go home right?
The Dodge Tomahawk is a concept vehicle powered by a Dodge Viper V10 with a motorcycle-like appearance Showned in 2003 North American Internacional Auto Show in Detroit
Do a Jeep Wagoneer video!
Asphalt 8 Airborne:
The Dodge Tomahawk Was Added in 2020 Halloween Update As a High End Clasa S Motorcycle
Imagine a 6.2 super charged v8 in a bike.
Or a 6.4 😂
@@812Zay This makes slightly more power than a 392/6.4. Lol.
Damn, since when did the auto-generated subtitles get so…accurate?
SkyNet is learning!
I remember when this concept came out and I was in elementary school, praying that dodge would make this so I could have it as a daily by the time I could drive in high school(I also thought I'd be Richie Rich Rich by now too) 🤷🏿♂️
Sidenote: this inspire the VRod
Even Hot Wheels made a version of this motorcycle
HOW fast?
It’s probably possible now
They should come back with a hellcat bike.....
Time to do a Hellcat bike! Lol! Just jokin!
What if dodge remodeled it and improve, well H2R will be on 2nd place. Btw i never knewthat tomahawk was cancelled and knowing that my expensive dreambike was the fastest production bike in the world, tnx to u 😉
You Can just tell by the Design that this was the early 2000’s version of “Futuristic”
Wonder if the bat pod from the dark knight was based off this?
Fun fact: Gran Turismo Sport named their own car a Tomahawk, but it’s a car that go can go 300+ mph.
Forgive my ignorance, but can someone please point out to me where the exhaust fumes come out? The specs seem to suggest twin rear facing pipes but I can't see any. I'm guessing it doesn't just come out of the vents on the side to burn and choke the rider!
Can you compare company speed to luxury to see out of THE THREE who would win
Then the tomahawk name was reused in a 4WD 1-Seater Hybrid Hypercar car by the SRT team
In gran turismo 👌
Well lets take it to utah and test it
Where are the space guns ?
Put 2 Wide Tires, & A Greater Capacity Fuel Tank. Make It Work.
And then they built the Dodge SRT Tomahawk
It was about engineering.
Cool and imagative
I don't know why they didn't just put single wide wheels in the front and rear. Doing so would have made it far more maneuverable as well as street legal. They could have outfitted it with a drag radial in the rear and marketed it as a drag bike. Regardless, gotta give them props for building this concept.
I'm thinking keep dual front & have a single, wider wheel/tire in back.
dual front for the 4 calipers on 2 rotors + the hydroplaning mitigation benefit
& ofc then, 2 tires in front..drag bike, indeed but top speed record bike, as well.
Alan Millyards was street legal.
Dodge Charger 2009
I'd say let's see what are vehicles can actually do, can we see a comparison with short clips. Like if you say in a roll races a redeye would beat a gt500 could you show up a vid of the gt500 crying in last place.
Dodge should have called this “Testosterone” 😝👍
Who has this thing now? There's barely any footage of anyone riding it....
has there ever been a wheelie done
how does a foreign engineer attempt aeronautics without a wheelie first
over there though not to insult this piece of engineering
SRT4 would be a great displacement
how many tracs of bulldozers does it take to be what you are
aussie rotary dynamic in fifth gearing isn't a complexity either
If you drop this bike you would need a towtruck to pick it back up.
If I was a millionaire, I'd surely have one if they'd let me.
hummer ev video??
This an mopar page Hummer is general motors
There is no way the Tomahawk could reach 300 mph with a rider aboard. Without some type of cowl, the rider would be blown off the bike well before 300 mph. It would have to be operated via remote control.
