Ludovic Lazareth is not the lead singer of a European Black Metal band, but might as well be. Witness his company's flesh-consuming Lazareth LM847, just revealed at this year's Geneva Motor Show, and dominated by a Maserati V8 mounted amidships. Don't bother filling out your organ donor card; crash this thing at speed and you'll just be a medium-sized cloud of pink mist.

This French-Swiss machine is a pretty simple creation at heart. The transmission is a single-speed affair, with twin chain drives for the rear tires. The rear end is lifted from a Ducati Panigale 1299, and the brakes feature huge 8-piston Nissin calipers up front and 4-piston Brembos out back. More a quad than a motorcycle, the four-wheeled LM847 has to be leaned over to turn, if you've got the stones.
