500bhp BMW V12-powered quad

French specials builder Lazareth have now come up with the Wazuma – a quad (four-wheeled motorcycle?) that’s fitted with a supercharged (http://www.fasterandfaster.net/search/label/Supercharged) BMW V12, which produces 500 horsepower. It isn’t a hybrid and there isn’t a single lithium-ion battery here, but for what it’s worth, the Wazuma V12 can run on E85 bio-ethanol. How’s that for going green? The price tag, if you must ask, is a mere 200,000 euro (US$284,000) so when you do buy one, you can keep it parked next to your Ferrari 458 Italia (http://www.indiaautomotive.net/2009/07/ferrari-458-italia-first-official-pics.html). Probably.

That is one mean looking dog.

In Alabama, and maybe nationally, a vehicle with four wheels must have passenger restraints, and an airbag. That's probably why we don't have quads here.

And then we have this. (note to wheel count)

Wonder where I go to get clarification.

[BumbleBee]

No kidding there, that is one mean looking machine. Too fast for me, looks uncomfortable (the leg positioning).

[Lamonster]

I think the $284,000 price tag would be my biggest restraint. :shocked::yikes:

But I agree, where do your legs go?

And people complain about the Spyder stock seat being uncomfortable.

Even if I had the money, there probably is only one half mile stretch of road here in New Mexico that you could ride on with that .5" clearance. ( I have not found it yet, but it must be here! )

I would love to see SethO put it through its paces.

For that price i hope you get a lifetime free radiator replacement did you see that all open then not to mention riding on your knees. :shocked:

[bone crusher]

It's a lot of whatever...

I think with a price like that, they're hoping nobody buys it...it really is quite ugly and looks very uncomfortable.

I'd get a Spyder, Viper, and put the other near 200k in the bank!

[Tripod]

I think I like the Chrysler Tomahawk better. I wonder if they had to make an aftermarket catch can for it??

Tripod :joke:

[WackyDan]

The handlebars are cheesy. But man, what a ride that would be...

[effgjamis]

I think the $284,000 price tag would be my biggest restraint. :shocked::yikes:

Think they would be willing to take Raccoons in on trade?? and just maybe a even swap...:joke:

[Bersquack]

Damn!

[jedd]

Watch video close he can't keep a steady state throttle appears to load up. Imagine at $285k the discussion on drivability in that forum:roflblack:
It is very cool though:thumbup:

[spydsense]

OH to ride it just one time ..........OH YEA!!!!
