Why it matters

The Tomahawk was a Dodge concept shown at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show. It paired a Viper-derived V-10 with a single-rider, four-wheel layout, and it was cited in Newsweek's coverage of the American horsepower race.

Every figure says what it counts.

No production figures recorded yet.

History

Dodge showed the Tomahawk at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show. Car and Driver described it as a Viper-powered, four-wheel single-rider with a two-speed gearbox and four-wheel independent suspension, and it was a show concept rather than a production car.

Newsweek's February 2003 horsepower feature named it as the V-10 Dodge Tomahawk concept motorcycle.
