T-REX

Most of you have see this crazy thing driven by Rob Dyrdek at the Fantasy Factory. It is nearly impossible to classify a two-seat, three-wheel vehicle with no doors and a motorcycle engine, but there is a name for it: the T-Rex. Campagna Motors, a boutique auto/bike builder based in Montreal, is responsible for the creation and distribution of this eccentric speed machine. The $50,000 T-Rex registered as a motorcycle and thanks to its Kawasaki sourced 1.4 liter and 4 cylinder engine sends an impressive 197 hp to the rear wheel. Campagna claims that the three-wheeler reaches 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and carries on to a top speed of 144 mph.

Although California state law does not require drivers to have a motorcycle license to operate. T-Rex is more about extreme performance, so Its body panels are constructed completely of fiberglass (keeping the weight down to roughly 1,000 pounds) and its manual-shifting six-speed transmission feels like it belongs on a motorbike even though it is positioned in the same way as a sports car. Similar to a Lotus Exige, the T-Rex requires yoga-like flexibility to slide into the seats, but the slight struggle is worth it for those who need to feel connected to road in a way that modern motorcars simply cannot emulate.
