] The Tomahawk is likely to see the light of day, according
] to #2 exec Wolfgang Bernhard, who said we'd know by
] summer 2003. It's a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500
] horsepower engine sitting out in the elements with some
] wheels beneath it. The price would be at least $250,000,
] and there would be only a few hundred made. Frankly, we

] The Dodge Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about
] 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of nearly

] and each wheel has an independent suspension. Bernhard
] said four wheels were necessary to handle the power from
] the engine.
]
] The Tomahawk remains on display at auto shows - though
] well out of reach of the general public, elevated on a
] special display.
