The Quad Bike-Based Single-Seat GT-R (Seriously)

We don't know why we want this, but we do...



It's well known that the Japanese tuning scene is an idiosyncratic beast, but this astonishing creation - which looks for all the world as if it could have driven straight off PH's very own 'shortened car' photoshop thread - is truly amazing.

It's the work of wonderfully deranged Japanese tuning company Liberty Walk and is a replica (if that's the right word) of a 1970 Nissan Skyline GT-R - based on a quad bike, of all things.

We don't know how much the single-seater Nissan-alike will cost you, but Liberty walk also does a 'Lambormini' along the same lines - and that'll cost you around 1.88 million yen (or £14,500).

That's quite a lot of money, but who can put a price on this sort of madness?

Just when you think you've seen it all you realise you really haven't. Can't even form a logical opinion on these things... Would've loved one when i was 14 though.

If you look closely at the pictures and see where the handlebars are, the entire top half of your body is going to be on show on top of the 'vehicle'; you are going to be spending £15k to look like a bit of a nutter smile

If only it had a steering wheel! Shame as it doesn't really work as a 'bike'

Would like to see a photoshop stretched version to see how close it is when stretched to "proper" proportions :-)

I think that's about right (done in paint NOT photoshop)

would you actually want to own one?, to be honest you would feel a right noob and I would also imagine the comments from people who see you out on it. Very embarasing!!!

Agreed!

How much is a quad bike on ebay, and a hundred weight of GRP?

Awesome, just the thing for nipping back to your motorhome while someone changes the tyres on the GT3 RS after a few hot laps
