Download 3D Model Hemi Trike Rocket 2 3D Model

The Rocket II was designed and built by two of the world’s most creative artists, and its styling is as powerful as its 1,000-horse Hemi. Tim “The Frogman” Cotterill is an English sculptor who grew up loving the outdoors, animals, and motorcycles. He’s spent decades creating frog sculptures that are always in high demand—but his artistic talents extend to vehicle design as well. It was around 1989 when Tim got the inspiration to build a radical, three-wheeled, six-cylinder trike. The stocky, aptly named “Rocket” seriously disturbed the peace in his old English hometown. But he soon moved to California, and though he lost interest in that wild trike, he never forgot about it. But a few years ago, Cotterill met another artistic gearhead: Michael Leeds of Blastolene. Leeds designs and builds high-profile machines, including a stunning retro/future roadster called the Blastolene Special owned by Jay Leno. Leeds’ considerable skill clearly carried over to sheetmetal, and with Tim’s ideas and drawings in hand, they went about planning what Tim called “A custom motorbike like no other.” It would be called the Rocket II.ROCKET II Stats:Weight: 2500lbsMotor: John Arruzza – Arruzza High Performance, North Carolina16 plug, 426 Hemi 1 of only 50 cast blocks, 1000hp 871 blower0-100mph 4.5 secondsHeaders: Bassett Racing, Anaheim, CA (Speedboat headers)Transmission: 3 speed TorquefliteBody: Randy Grubb, OregonElectrical: Dave Nelson MSD ignitionWheelbase: 12ftWheels: Front wheel is homage to Bonneville Salt FlatsFront rim made out of a block of aluminum 18×26 – 50lb rim inspired by the ViperTomahawk 2 front tires – 24in MetzlerBack axle: Kugel Komponents – La Habra, CA20 inch rims on backMickey Thompson tires 18×319” inboard brake pistonsCustom speedometer: Classic InstrumentsBack lights: ’59 CadillacModel dimensions:- length – 4132 mm- width – 1975 mm- height – 1135 mmDesigned in Solid Works 2012, rendered in Keyshot 5.0.99.Useful links:http://www.bikernettrikes.com/pages/frogmans_1000hp_trike_riding_the_rocket_ii.aspxhttp://www.inautonews.com/frogman-rocket-ii-trike-by-tim-cotterillhttp://blastoland.com/blastoland/FROG_HEMI_TRIKE.htmlhttp://torqueandtread.com/motorcycles/the-one-and-only-hemi-v8-powered-rocket-ii-1200hp-trike-motorcycle/http://www.1000ps.de/modellnews-2353585-hemi-trike-rocket-iihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su7gNQf8gK8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeNLMN_RqSIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRreA3K-7YY
