It may look impressive and worth an eye-watering £170,000, but the world’s most expensive quad bike can’t even be driven on the road.

 

Manufacturers Lazareth say that the Wazuma V8 is so powerful it is purely a track-only vehicle.

 

Designed and produced by Lazareth, they have now put the one-off machine for sale on the luxury website JamesList - an Auto Trader for billionaires.

Mean machine: The quad bike is on the market for a staggering £170,000, making it the most expensive in the world

Manufactured this year, Lazareth describes the quad as an 'atypical three-wheel vehicle', with the rear two wheels linked together.

 

Weighing in at a relatively light 650kg, the expensive vehicle is able to reach travel at high speeds.

 

Its makers say the powerful 250bhp engine means its can reach more than 150pmh on the clock.

350 Z headlights ?

 

 

Behold the Lazareth Wazuma Quad with its DOHC Ferrari V8 and what appears to be Celica headlights. At over €200,000 each, it’s probably the most interesting way to rid the world of those pesky rich people. ;)

They look like 350Z headlights don't they?

My first inpression was that it looks cack - like a quad that 'Fat Baaaastard' has sat on, with wheels that look totally out of place. But then I saw someone riding it and decided that with a Ferrari V8 engine in it there isn't much not to like :lol:

Who cares if it can't be driven on the road, I should think most of them will be thrashed around the world's biggest sand pits, figuratively speaking.
