Behold Lazareth – The V12, 500bhp Quad

This is not your brother’s quad he takes to the woods during hunting season. The Lazareth V12 is a 500 horse powered, four-wheeled beast that will probably take the skin right off your knee caps, but you’ll be having so much fun (or traveling so damn fast) you won’t notice. And you know baby, it runs on Ethanol.

Powered by a supercharged BMW V12, this Lazareth quad makes 500bhp when running on E85 (a fuel blend with 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline). Key to keeping that power from instantly killing its riders is the narrow rear track, which provides adequate straight line traction, but should keep the torque from flipping the quad on its side. The wide front track should provide plenty of lateral stability for the front end, which is good, because riders will need to countersteer aggressively to keep that rear in line under acceleration.
