Lazareth LM847
Ludovic Lazareth’s LM 847 runs on a
massive 4.7 litre Maserati V8 engine. Wildly alluring and powerful, it’s wild
nature is every bit visible in its four single-sided swingarms and rim-mounted
brakes.
Lazareth LM847 is a tilting quad bike.
It is a 470 hp beast with a dual hub-centre steering uses a single-speed
viscous clutch automatic transmission. The engineering extravaganza isn’t one
to aspire for road legal status.
The pretentious mechanical over the top
display bike’s 32-valve V8 comes from the Maserati Quattroporte. While running
anything on two tyres is a tested idea, it wouldn’t quite be enough to get
Lazareth LM 847 moving. That’s being taken care of with two front and two rear
tyres. The fierce twin tyres have independent chain drives and rely on their
own single-sided swingarm.
So,
Lazareth LM 847 uses a Ducati Panigale tail section that looks true to the
original and looks like a fit on the 400 kg monstrosity.
The tilting 2.6-metre long quad bike
uses a TFX rear shock and carbon fiber aerodynamic shields in the mid section
between the wheels. Maybe the handle bars didn’t look wide enough, so Lazareth
LM 847 uses bar-end mirrors.
