This 1,200-HP V12 ‘Super Quad’ Is the Most Dangerous Thing I’ve Ever Seen
Such a vehicle is the work of a company called Engler, which claims to be the pioneer of a new type of machine: the “super quad.” Engler started out making something called the Desat, its first super quad. Engler then amped it up to 1,100 hp, which in the barebones, 2,425-pound Desat was good enough to dispatch zero to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and charge on to 217 mph. All in a package smaller than a Honda Civic, and with only the handlebars and your thigh muscles to keep you in place.
Charger Battles Charger In A Police Chase
When Blytheville Police requested help with stopping a fleeing suspect vehicle, nobody knew it would turn into a brutal battle between two Dodge Chargers.

SpaceX Rocket Explosions Blew Holes In The Atmosphere: Scientists

Colorado Motorcycle Officer Shows How To Dismount Quickly

Few if any people inherently do this sort of thing, which is why it’s impressive to watch the bodycam footage of this incident. See how troopers in Georgia deal with fle

Unsurprisingly, the driver didn’t pull over for the trooper because he had a felony warrant for his arrest. Dodge Challenger playing animal sounds is terrorizing people in New York City.
