Kanye West, unsurprising as it may be, has quite the taste for flashy vehicles. A recent Forbes evaluation valued the rapper and fashion mogul at just over $1 billion, noting that around $3.8 million of his net worth is invested in "vehicles."
While West likely owns his fair share of exotics and luxury cars, he seems to have a particular obsession with high-powered, go-anywhere off-roaders. At his massive Wyoming ranches, West has a fleet of Ford F-150 Raptors, 10 amphibious Sherp all-terrain vehicles, and a high-performance tank called the Ripsaw EV2.
The EV2 was developed for military use by Howe and Howe Technologies, a Maine-based company that has since been acquired by aerospace and defense manufacturer Textron Systems. Billed as a "luxury, high-performance, go-fast super tank," the EV2 is also available to private citizens and carries a price tag that can stretch to "over half a million dollars."
Take a closer look at the Ripsaw EV2 below.
