from autoblog::::   
Designed and constructed by Blastolene, this three-wheeler features a supercharged Hemi V8 that probably produces more power than Zeus can muster. It makes the Dodge Tomahawk Concept look like a child's toy. We can't even begin to imagine what it's like to drive, but we'd guess it's a similar experience to piloting a Top Fuel dragster without a roll cage or any safety equipment. Awesome.

that is just insane!  seriously... from a "let's see how much money we can blow on something so impractical it will never be driven" to the whole "why" factor... every bit of my logical side screams stupidity.. but the gearhead in me says i want the engine! LOL

I bet we see Leno cruising that sometime soon. :icon_smile_cool:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I think we will see it or a clone in one of the future Batman/Super hero movies.

Agreed, it is definitely a waste of power.  Or should I say the power has ventured into Unobtanium.

Could have received the same wow factor with a nicely built chromed out v8 or even v6. You could even gone as far as to fabricate dummy hemi covers and slap em on. 
Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

I'm not sure how many of the vehicles those guys build are ever driven. They are mostly art and designed for the "wow" factor. From that perspective, picking it apart on practicality (or cost) is pointless. I like it but I know I could never see anything in front of me... and that's a long front end to not know where it's at!

Troy
Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

teamroth

Troy good call there, that thing will never be ridden, except for maybe Bonneville. The main reason they do these is purely to showcase skill and draw in potential customers. On that note, that's a shit-ton of money to spend in this shaky economy.

when and if they wreck it I'll take engine so I can do Hemi clone and sell it on BJ for a couple of mill and retire.

A crotch rocket can go 150mph  so are you more dead at 150mph or 300 mph?!

:shruggy:

300.   You come apart a lot more.  So more dead  :icon_smile_big:
