Video: T-Rex travels at ass-blistering speeds on Fifth Gear

3-wheel


Ok. Follow the car-cycle formula found in the Carver One and remove the “enclosed” part so that it’s just “covered”. Reverse the wheel configuration so that you have two in the front and one in the back. Bump the top speed up nearly 50MPH, to 157MPH “if you’ve got the nerve” and throw that tilting thing out the window… Now, you’ve got a T-Rex.

The T-Rex seems a LOT less refined than the Carver One. If you are looking for a safe, comfy, fun little runabout then the Carver is your cup-a-tea. If you are looking for something to replace your caffeine addiction (and maybe the cocaine and meth omelet you had for breakfast), then the T-Rex has your name on it.

You can go here, to the official site, to find more videos of this monster in action. I know they can sell to the tune of $62,000+. If you’re lucky enough to buy one used, I saw one with 3,200 miles for $46,750 (sold). Lots of pretty pictures on that link.

Oh, and not to be forgotten in THIS category of “non-tilting” with the 2-front / 1-rear is the Grinnall Scorpion III and the VW GX3 concept.

    I’ll take two… but, wait, where would I drive the thing? Need more runway, need more runway…

    :O HOLY SHIT!

    Loosing a wheel gives it more cool points than the Ariel Atom!
