A supped-up quad bike which has is powered by a Ferrari
engine and has a top speed of 150mph has been developed by engineers in France.
The Wazuma V8F, which costs £160,000, bears striking similar
to the Batmobile driven by Christian Bale in The Dark Knight Rises.
The four-wheeler boasts a 3-litre V8 engine which was
sourced from a 1970s Ferrari 308 sports car
The Wazuma's manufacturer's, Lazareth, say the
quad bike develops 250bhp in a vehicle weighing just 650kg.
This gives the machine a power-to-weight ratio of 384bhp per tonne, the same as a Ferrari 458 Spider, and the potential to reach 150mph.

But with a standard quad bike from the likes of Honda
typically costing around £8,000, only a select few will be able to afford the
Wazuma's huge price tag.
For the price, owners will get BMW M3 gearboxes and
high performance Brembo disc brakes to stop the 18-inch wheels.
The Wazuma V8F uses three wheel geometry, with two largely
spaced front wheels and two narrower spaced wheels attached at the rear. It has
been fitted with the lights from a Nissan 350Z.
A statement from Lazareth said: 'The Wazuma V8F Matt Edition
is a unique masterpiece, which is simple, aggressive and offers high
performance.'
