Icon:Lazareth Wazuma V8F
What happens when you put a Ferrari engine in a quad bike?
Is that a red Batmobile?
Nearly – it’s what Batman would have if his bikes were packing 3.0l 250bhp V8 Ferrari engines. Technically this is a quad bike, but with those two rear wheels so close it’s nearly a motorbike, meaning great handling as well as speed.
So is Ferrari making bikes now?
Whoa there, this isn’t made by Ferrari, but a company called Lazareth. Those guys aren’t the monogamous type though – they used the six-speed gearbox from the ever efficient BMW M3, as well as gigantic 324mm Brembo callipered disc brakes. So even though the Wazuma (stupid name, we know) is fast – it’s not dangerous, sort of.
How much is this going to cost me?
A wee bit more than the Batman costume you’ll undoubtedly buy to go with it, at £168,000. So while you’re chilling (literally) on this beast as you wonder why you sold your house, just remember Batman would be proud.
