    Default Crazy VW trike-thing... might be produced for America?!

    Crazy VW trike does 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds, seats two, pulls 1.25g on the skidpad... and gets 46mpg







    Kudos to VW - this is completely unlike anything I've seen from them before. Out-of-the-box thinking in a raw, elemental package. Performance without the weight and the electronic gizmos that VW are so fond of. This is really cool.

    Although if someone were to actually bring one a performance trike to market, I prefer the looks of the Peugot 20Cup concept:

    Very cool, I wonder how it handles. I see that it pulls alot of Gs but it must be a different experience than driving a normal car.

    Or if you wanted to, you could get a T-rex, they've been making them since the late 90's. I do like the new stuff though. The V-dub looks great!

    I think the Peugot looks hawt!

    The VeeDub looks a bit quirky to me.
