Howe & Howe Ripsaw EV3-F4 Personal Recreational Tank

For those with a deep pocket looking for a crawler vehicle, Hemmings Auctions offers the Howe & Howe Ripsaw EV3-F4 Personal Recreational Tank. It is a vehicle produced in only five units that looks like a tank and costs $ 400,000.

The vehicle is a product of Howe & Howe from Maine, which is known for producing unmanned tanks for various military, combat and police purposes. The vehicle has a solid steel exoskeleton and offers enough space for four people. It is equipped with King shock absorbers, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tracks that lubricate themselves so that they never get stuck, powerful LED lights, infrared technology, FLIR camera and a winch.

The interior of the vehicle is done in a combination of sedan and fighter jet. The front-heated leather Recaro sports seats are manufactured by BMW. In front of the driver are two 12-inch Garmin touch screens connected to cameras that display the environment. There is also the option of installing night cameras.

The Ripsaw EV3-F4 is powered by a 6.6-liter Duramax turbo V8 engine with 800 hp (588 kW) and 1,500 lb-ft (2,034 Nm) of torque. The engine was tuned by Pacific Performance Engineering and paired with a five-speed Allison transmission. The maximum speed that the vehicle can reach is 56 mph (90 km / h), which makes it the fastest vehicle with double tracks.
