Some crazy Frenchman put a Maserati V8 on a motorcycle and it's frekin' awesome

By now we have seen a lot, but we have never seen anything like this before. French builder Lazareth has showcased its new LM 847 at Geneva Auto Show and the motorcycle packs a full Maserati engine. The insane motorcycle comes with a 4.7-liter, 470hp, V8 engine out of a Maserati automobile, with the rest of the bike build around it. Without a doubt one of the most outlandish motorcycle concepts seen. It is certainly not practical, but you can be sure that you will not remain unnoticed with the Lazareth LM 847. 

This four-wheeled motorcycle (which is not quite a quad bike because the wheels are so close together) is a heady mix of carbon fiber, aluminium and pure genius. It’s also a single speed, is made from a Maserati saloon car engine and spits out a whopping 470hp!

It’s yours for just €200,000 or $223,000.
