Mounting a Polaris-type body on top of two jet skis seems a bit like the answer to a question nobody asked but, as it turns out, doing so actually seems like a lot of fun. Which is why Shadow Six Racing created the Typhoon and it's said to be the world's first 'Aquatic Utility Vehicle.'
While it looks like a Polaris RZR bolted to a pair of jet skis, it's actually more complex than that. The body of the vehicle is made from a tubular titanium frame with a Polaris body kit mounted to it. So you're not wrong for thinking it looks like a Polaris RZR but it's entirely different underneath the skin. And rather than have an ATV's typical suspension, wheels, and off-road tires, Shadow Six instead fitted it with long-travel suspension and a pair of custom jet skis. In each custom ski is a 300 horsepower supercharged 1.8-liter Yamaha engine, providing the Typhoon with a combined 700 horsepower. It looks super top-heavy but around 2,000 pounds of its 2,365 pound curb weight is actually below the water line. That's due to the heavy skis, with their engines, weighing around 1,000 pounds each, and the lightweight titanium and carbon fiber body only weighing around 300 pounds.
