Are you tired of stressful city life? Do you need a vehicle that can really take you anywhere? The name is a little unsightly, but this luxury tank might satisfy your getaway dreams. It’s called the Howe & Howe Ripsaw EV3-F4, and it’s kind of a high-end tankless tank, and you can buy one right now. It is for sale on the Hemings Auction website.
Robust, without sacrificing comfort
Yes, it really is a “luxury tank. Howe & Howe have the expertise in this area because the company builds military vehicles and offers products for individuals, like the above model which is being auctioned off.” Despite the fact that it is equipped with some tactical equipment, the Ripsaw EV4-F4 does not have any weapon system.

The tank has polyurethane tracks and has a ground clearance of 51 centimeters (20 inches) to tackle all types of terrain. As sturdy as it sounds on the outside, however, the interior has two comfortable, heated and ventilated Recaro front seats.
Inside, you’ll notice a yoke-like steering wheel offered in the Tesla Model S Plaid. The Ripsaw has two 12-inch touch screens, supplied by Garmin. In addition to the classic screen showing driving information, there is another screen that shows external cameras. The Ripsaw can also be used at night thanks to its multitude of cameras that give drivers 360 degree views, thermal and even infrared views.
A mountain of power under the hood
The Ripsaw’s name suggests it has an electric powertrain, but it doesn’t. Under the hood is a Duramax 6.6-liter turbo diesel V8 producing 800 horsepower (596 kilowatts and 1,500 pound-feet (2,033 Newton-meters) of torque. The Ripsaw needs all that power because it weighs more than 4.5 tons, or about twice as much as a Land Rover Range Rover. Howe & Howe says it is one of the fastest tracked vehicles in the world. According to the American company, the Ripsaw can reach a top speed of 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour).
At the time of writing, the current auction stands at $ 425,000, with four days until the auction ends and the reserve still not filled. The price must climb higher before a new owner is crowned.
