Remember the Howe brothers? You know, the two inventors and military contractors who create some of the craziest warfare vehicles you can think of. Well, they just finished a new edition of their demilitarized Ripsaw platform. It’s a tank designed to traverse the most rugged of terrain built durable, to withstand challenges other vehicles this size would not be able to endure. Best part: they went drifting it on ice.
You may see it as the ultimate apocalypse machine you’ll most likely want to have on your side say the world will eventually face a Mad Max scenario. Sure, if you’re one of the rich folks out there, you might as well consider it a Hollywood toy Dan Bilzerian will most likely take out somewhere in the desert, shooting guns for fun. Whatever it is, if you truly are a petrolhead be advised, this video might even beat Ken Block’s viral drifting clips.

As to the vehicle, it's an upgraded version of the Ripsaw EV1 (which comes from Extreme Vehicle). It’s the first the brainiacs have created in four years and as you’ll see it does not disappoint. We checked their website, and it appears they haven’t yet listed the details and specs.

Judging by its predecessor we’re looking at a beast. Constructed of A440f steel aircraft grade aluminum, and high-quality components, the EV1 Ripsaw was powered by a 6.6-liter Duramax Diesel. We’re talking about an 8,500 lbs (3,855 kgs) monster that could run in any conditions and on any terrain for that matter. The tank in question is most likely a lot better, but we’ll let you be the judge of that.
