Inside Design: 2003 Dodge Tomahawk Concept:
Dodge's Four-Wheel V-10 Motorcycle...
The Viper-powered Dodge Tomahawk concept vehicle shattered all the barriers of conventional thinking about personal transportation. This four-wheel, single-passenger vehicle is a sleek, rolling sculpture that combines art-deco styling with extreme engineering.
The 500-horsepower Viper V-10 engine powering the dual rear wheels gives this radical vehicle a potential top speed of nearly 400 miles per hour – for anyone who wants to test it. The Tomahawk roared into public view at the 2003 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan.
“The Dodge brand philosophy always challenges us to grab life by the horns,” said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President – Design, Chrysler Group. “In the case of Tomahawk, grabbing and holding onto anything for dear life is a necessity. It’s just that extreme and passionate; a glimpse into the soul and commitment of true enthusiasts.”
Initial reaction to the concept vehicle typically comes in two words: “Wow” and “why.”
The “wow” is easy to understand from Dodge, the brand that continues to drive its foot to the floor – with the 2003 Viper, Heavy Duty and Light Duty Rams and an SRT lineup dedicated to engineering the most powerful production vehicles in their segments.
But “why” would a company, famous for its innovative car and truck designs, go down this particular path?
