Yes, as the name implies, this latest production of the French builder Lazareth has eight cylinders and 4,691cc of displacement. It is a four-wheeler ... almost.
The french builder Lazareth is well known for its unique and impressive machines. They have presented the lazareth LM 847 at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show and this beastly-looking thing is in fact a leaning quad-bike that is powered by a Maserati V8 engine that produces roughly 470 horse power and 620 Nm of torque. The LM 847 has a single-speed gearbox with a hydraulic coupler and dual chain final drive. That means you can attain the top speed without shifting gears, if left alive.
This is not the first motorcycle that packs a giant car engine. The American cruiser Boss Hoss is powered with a 5.7 litre Chevrolet V8 engine and also the Dodge Tomahawk is V10 powered quad which in fact resembles the Lazereth LM847 a lot.
The Lazareth LM847 comes with a dual-wheel hub center steering front end. The tail section is borrowed from Ducati 1299 Panigale that fits perfectly into this crazy looking quad. Braking power comes from two 420mm disc 8-pot Nissin calipers in the front, while the rear uses two 255mm 4-pot calipers Brembo setup.
With a total weight of 400 kg this machine has a tremendous power which no one will try to mess with.
