The fully-functional Ripsaw Tank used in the 2017 movie 'The Fate of the Furious' is going up for auction next month. The tracked vehicle was Howe & Howe’s original prototype and was last purchased from a museum that worked with Universal Pictures. The Ripsaw is incredibly maneuverable, reaching speeds over 60 mph with power coming from a 6.6-liter LBZ Duramax turbodiesel V8 engine making 360 horsepower. The winning bidder will likely have to put more work into the Ripsaw to get it back in movie-star shape.
