I can’t wait to see one of these on the road.

This thing is crazy looking. It is supposed to weigh 340 lb and push 190 hp from a supercharged 103 ci v-twin. The engine is somehow derived from GM’s ls7?

nice find! I’ve always liked the hellcat and didn’t know if they were still in business.
as a side note, it looks like you would roast your chestnuts on that charger…

🤣
I love that style front end. Like the BMW’s. Supposed to improve handling when the nose dives by changing the trail.
It seems funny to build the tank that high when there’s all that space. Did they do it for style? Would make more sense to put the gas and oil lower, like under the seat or something.

Too Sci-Fi looking for me. Maybe if it looked more like a Bike and less… futuristic I would dig it. Gonna be fast as hell.
