In case the Ripsaw EV2 seems a bit familiar to you, that’s because it reminds us of something The Rock used in one of the last Fast and Furious movies. This super tank was created by the Maine-based brothers Mike and Geoffrey Howe, a.k.a. Howe and Howe Technologies, with the Ripsaw EV2 meant to help people conquer the toughest terrains in complete comfort and luxury.
Initially developed for the U.S. military, the Ripsaw EV2 is legal and it can be actually owned and enjoyed by civilians like you and me, obviously without any guns. Packing a 600 hp Duramax turbo-diesel engine, coupled with a proprietary clutch system, this is the fastest dual-tracked vehicle ever produced, a tank that could easily do 75 mph.
And while this tank’s speed, maneuverability, and durability are impressive, to say the least, its extraordinary body, made of aerospace-grade aluminum and high-strength steel, is absolutely ravishing. Also worth mentioning are the 13.4 inches of suspension travel and 21.5 inches of ground clearance, which means owners of this incredible machine will never get stuck.
The fully enclosed cockpit benefits from automatic gullwing doors, AC and a reflective windshield, plus two eight-way adjustable leather racing seats, a reverse camera, GPS instrumentation, and a DVD player. I guess this makes taking over countries more enjoyable.
You might be interested to know that the Ripsaw EV2 does not require a permit to be operated on private property in the United States. $295,000 and six months later, this thing will sit in your backyard.
