The Torpedo V4 was a motorcycle made by the Austro-Hungarian manufacturer Torpedo in Kolín . In 1909 the unique motorcycle - four connecting rods were on a common crank pin - with a bore of 73 mm and a stroke of 100 mm was presented. The engine was composed of two V2 engines in such a way that a fan of four individual cylinders resulted. With a displacement of 1640 cm³, the motorcycle developed 10–12 hp at a speed of 2200 / min , with which a top speed of around 120 km / h could be achieved.
Despite the little technical data that have been preserved from the Torpedo V4 - the original no longer exists - Pavel Malaník built a ready-to-drive Torpedo V4 from 2009-2011.
