The name 'TMC Dumont' is a nod to its creator, with 'TMC' standing for 'Tarso Marques Concept', and 'Dumont' paying homage to Alberto Santos Dumont, a pioneering Brazilian inventor and aviator. But beyond its aesthetic appeal, this motorcycle is a marvel of engineering, boasting a Rolls-Royce Continental V6 engine from the 1960s capable of generating a staggering 300 horsepower – a power usually reserved for Cessna plane models.

Firing up the engine unleashes a roar that commands attention, but the TMC Dumont's unique design presents some challenges for practical use. With its exceptionally low ground clearance, navigating anything but flat roads becomes a risky endeavor. Even minor bumps or potholes could spell disaster for this unconventional ride. Moreover, the oversized front tires and the rear tires positioned dangerously close to the rider's back further complicate matters, sacrificing comfort for style.
