Ripsaw EV3-F1 - Beyond extreme
The Ripsaw F1, officially the Ripsaw EV3-F1 by Howe and Howe Technologies, is one of the most extreme vehicles on earth: a single-seat personal tank powered by a 1,500 HP Hellcat engine, priced from around half a million USD, and so violently capable that it can pull off wheelies. It is the leaner, meaner evolution of the Ripsaw line, and it remains the benchmark for anyone searching for a Ripsaw tank for sale.
What is the Ripsaw EV3-F1?
The Ripsaw EV3-F1 is a single-seater box of insanity built by Maine-based Howe and Howe. Power is delivered to the ground via twin high-speed tank tracks with a remarkable 16 inches of suspension travel. You climb in by opening a fighter-jet-style cockpit suspended in the air, and a 5-point racing harness holds you down as the 3,315 kg machine launches across terrain like a dirt bike. As The Drive details, the air-cushioned cockpit keeps the driver balanced even as the tracks pound the ground.
How powerful is the Ripsaw F1?
At the core of the Ripsaw F1 sits a 727 cubic inch Hellcat Hemi engine producing up to 1,500 HP, giving the tank a staggering power-to-weight ratio. Over 112 inches of track meets the ground, and the specially developed suspension soaks up jumps that would destroy a conventional off-roader. As New Atlas puts it, this is arguably the most obnoxious vehicle ever made, and that is exactly the point.
How much does a Ripsaw tank cost?
To get one, you will need to fork out from around 500,000 USD, and the figure climbs depending on your configuration. You can order the EV3-F1 directly through the official Ripsaw site. The Ripsaw series has always been a bit insane, but this single-seat F1 takes the cake. For collectors who want the road-legal two-seat experience instead, the Ripsaw EV2 remains the most attainable way to own a Ripsaw.
