Quad bikes are usually associated with off-roading. However, the quad bike you see here is anything but your run-of-the-mill four-wheeler. Indeed, although this is revealed by taking a mere glance at it, there is much more to this quad bike than you might expect — it’s powered by a V12 engine!
“Wait, what”, we hear you ask. Yup, the Engler Automotive V12 is, as it name would suggest, a V12-powered quad bike, endowed with a whopping 883 kW and 1 200 N.m of torque. That’s immense, especially when you consider the super and hyper cars currently available. It will — without a doubt — be quick. However, you’d have to bring it to halt at some point in time. Power and torque are delivered to the asphalt (indeed, this is no off-road quad bike) via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Stopping power is provided by ventilated carbon-ceramic Brembo brake discs, which feature six-piston front callipers, measuring 410 mm, and four-piston rear units, measuring 390 mm. The brakes are housed in magnesium wheels, measuring 20 inches fore and aft. The wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber, measuring 245/30 and 305/30 in size at the front and rear.
Underpinned by a carbon-fibre monocoque chassis, which incorporates 3D-printed titanium elements and tubular subframes, the V12 weighs 1 200 kg. The suspension set-up comprises independent double wishbones, replete with helical springs. The suspension arrangement further features electronically-controlled shock absorbers.
There are also an array of aero elements, including a height-adjustable windscreen, which is synchronised with the rear wing and aero intakes that are sited around this quad bike.
However, the V12 is not only about outright performance — it is equipped with several convenience items. The latter includes a duo of touch-enabled displays, one relaying information to the driver and another for infotainment (such as Apple Car Play). In addition, when purchasing this quad, its seats, which are trimmed in “luxurious” leather, are crafted to fit your measurements.
