The world's 'most expensive' quad bike has gone on sale

Quad Bike

A quad bike labelled the most expensive in the world has gone on sale.

Built by French firm Lazareth, the Wazuma V8 has a top speed of 150mph and a price tag to match.

It's been put up for sale on JamesList, a website which describes itself as the "World's Luxury Marketplace", for 200,000 euros (£167,000), not including tax.

The bike was manufactured with a Ferrari engine and a six speed sequential gear-box from BMW.

It gets its speed from 250 horsepower generated by that engine and the fact it weighs just 650kg.

The sales information goes on to say "the suspension system is very specific, featuring four horizontal shock absorbers, made‐to‐measure by EMC".

Described as a unique masterpiece, there is just one downside for any drivers who might be thinking about buying it.

They would need their own private racetrack to drive it on as the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders says it wouldn't be legal for road use in the UK.

How vulgar! £1 million 24-carat gold Rolls-Royce is unveiled

The Rolls-Royce has always had a history of elegance and class - until now.

That prestigious reputation has been smashed by the world's most vulgar makeover of the company's iconic Ghost model.

An Italian fashion design house has created a gold-covered monstrosity costing more than £1 million.

The Fenice Milano 'Diva' has been spray painted in 24-carat gold and the company is so proud of it they have described the model as a 'true.masterpiece.'

It is fitted with the same 6-litre twin-turbocharged engine of the Ghost, giving the saloon more than 560bhp and a top speed of 155mph.

Fenice Milano believes their Rolls-Royce is a 'synonym for class, elegance and style'. many would disagree.

The interior has biscuit leather and 24-carat gold throughout. The standard Ghost costs £220,000 but the Diva is now for sale at £1.05million.

Phillip Brooks, a Rolls-Royce historian, described the car as 'bizarre' but also 'spectacular'.

He said: "I think what Fenice is doing with the Ghost is quite interesting. It's certainly a case of gilding the lily, but the gilding job looks pretty good.

'My personal taste doesn't run to something like a Diva, but I think it would be great fun to show up in one. All in all, perhaps a slightly bizarre car, but a very neat one.'
