ID three wheeler in NYC?

ID three wheeler in NYC? · 02:56 AM

I don't know who makes these, it looks pretty cool. KX, M 50/1.7, Fuji 400ASA

Now that is one cool looking hot rod! It looks like something the Lotus people would dream up--it sure is in line with their founding father's (Colin Chapman) car philosophy of getting the most from the least. Thanks and nice capture!

That's a Campagna T-REX, designed and built in Québec.

It's a T-Rex, 2 or 3 guys at work have them.

They are a very high performance 2 seater "sportscar" manufactured here in my province, a new one will set you back around $50,000+. It is street legal and it's performance matches race track monobodies. 0 to 60mph in 3.5secs, top speed 175mph

Here are a few links about the T-Rex

Maybe a more realistic Christmas request would be a Bombardier Can-Am Spyder. They are of the same backwards tri-cycle design, but at a more sensible cost of about $20K. Apparently they are quite zippy, too! (And they're Canadian!)

That one's too much like a bike Jeff, I would rather have two wheels in that case but thanks for posting, I like the look of it.

Yeah, they are wacky! They apparently sport a 110 hp engine; your mailman must get his route done in minutes!

I too prefer 2 wheeled bikes.

I've been seeing quite a few of these around this summer, especially the Can-Am's. Every sunday morning there are a few parked in front of our local restraunt. (small town, we only have one).
