Ok, clearly this is not your typical motorcycle but you ride it like one and for that, this is a fantastically awesome and also horrible idea. We like it.
Built by Lazereth, the french coach builder that created a Ferrari powered quad bike has now created a similar quad bike with a Maserati V8.
Dubbed the LM847, the quadricycle utilizes a Maserati 4.7 liter V8 drivetrain that produces 470 hp and a 457 ft. lbs. of torque. The LM847 incorporates four wheels which allow the machine to still lean like a motorcycle but also increases the contact patches needed to put all that power into some kind of manageable traction.
There are no performance figures but based on the power to weight ratio estimates. We’re pretty sure you’ll be sucking your eyeballs out of the back of the skull if you get it into your head to open the throttle all the way.
Sam Bendall is a native Southern Californian who eats, breaths, and simply loves all things with two wheels. He loves to tell good stories beyond the regular press release and is often on the hunt for one. On a personal level he enjoys staying fit, cooking, coffee, whiskey, photography, camping, and travel but not necessarily in that order. He also has a hard jones for Mexican food and is constantly on the search for the perfect slice of pizza.
At a statuesque 6 foot 5 inches, don’t fear his size as he is a gentle giant with a laid back attitude. If you see him around town, say hello and he will greet you with enthusiasm and a smile. His passion for life is nothing short of infectious. When he is not smashing away at his keyboard penning awesome motorcycle articles, Sam regularly works as a freelance photographer and runs a bespoke camera strap business for professional and enthusiast photographers.
Prior to transitioning over to journalism and starting his own business, Sam worked in public relations and marketing for The Pollack PR Marketing Group, Triumph Motorcycles America, and JMPR. He holds a BA in Communication Studies from California State University, Northridge.
