M13KYF Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 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.

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. On the JamesList advert it says 'All the engine management can be modified and monitored with a computer.' To complement the high-performance engine and gearbox, the Wazuma also has huge Brembo brakes and a unique, made-to-measure suspension. It also uses huge 18-inch wheels with racing slick tyres. It has been crafted with an impressive mix of names, with an engine fitted by Ferrari and a six speed gearbox, controlled by the handlebars from a BMW M3. A spokesperson for the company said: 'The Wazuma offers matchless driving sensations with a unique design. It is designed to be simple, aggressive and high-performance. It is first of all a masterpiece of engineering, a sculpture.'

Beavis Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 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 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.
