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?

Love it, the wow effect when its sitting at the front of the garage.

Those are fantastic!!

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.

Genius! Absolutely stark raving barking lunatic bonkers genius

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

[k-ink]

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

WTF

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

[jazzyjeff]

OMG

What do you do to get them to go...get someone to pull the car back for you?

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

[Honsta]

Nice idea, but for £14.5K...no

[EviLScooB]

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?

[Adz The Rat]

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

[mylesmcd]

great fun on an indoor kart track I reckon!

[rix]

Just weird. Ok and slightly desirable!
