New concept? Half car/cycle?

If anyone watches MTV, BET, MTV2 on the regular (I dont but this caught my eye) In the Jadakiss/ Bubba Sparxxx "Feels so good" video, there is a new half motorcycle/ half car in it. They show it quite a few times. It seems to be RWD with one cycle-style, chain-driven wheel in back and two car-like wheels in front for steering. The cockpit consists of one bucket seat enclosed in an odd, pod-like exterior. It looks kind of fugly at first, but it seems to be growing on me.

Does anyone have any idea what tpe of vehicle this is? Its an all new platform to me. Hybrids keep popping up.:D

Are u talkin about the black one with Ruff Rider sign in the front?

yeah! do you know what it is? there's a red one too.

The cars an actual production car...

Yep T-Rex. They are available as a kit form or fully built. 0-60 in about 4 seconds :) I want one. :) Saw this about 2-3 years ago in a magazine.

The complete article >> HERE (http://www.corbinmotors.com/products_merlinroadster.html) Ummm, I dont like that... the "Real" T-Rex has a roll cage on it ~ I would bet it would be safer then your normal rice rocket... low center of gravity, light weight, awesome suspension setup and AWESOME power to weight ratio makes for an incredible driving experience...

do they have any detailed interior shots? I'd like to see what that baby looks like on the inside!!

I cant imagine what that thing would be like in the snow:rolleyes: ....j/k :D

that thing is bad! i want one :D

For that kind of money you can be in a Factory Five (http://www.factoryfive.com) car, which to me is MUCH better in every respect.

the website for the T-rex is

www.go-t-rex.com

they were started in 1990 in Quebec, Canada

they are availible for $39,000 us

that is a little pricy but they look damn good.

I talked to a guy with one of those last summer. he was down in indy for the motorcycle dealer expo. it had like a 14" wide tire on the back. He started ripping some mad donuts in the steak n shake parking lot. That thing was awesome.

Im sorry to tell u this..but nick your wrong -
The T-Rex has been around since my freshman yr in HS... that was tha 1st yr it went into production although tha vehicle was only able to be purchased by special order...

So lets see i graduated in 1998 - soo i'd have to say 1994 they've been around since u were 12yrs old... prob y u didnt know about them....

i have tha original article about tha bike...

hrmmm i love to be right...:flipa:

***yeah yeah - i see u wrote '@ least 2 yrs' - whateva 2yrs & 8yrs is a vast diff***

hrmmm i love to be right...:flipa: Dude before you try slamming someone why dont you learn to read. I said AT LEAST two years, so gee if it came out in 1994 -- that would mean its been around for AT LEAST 2 years, I didnt say "it came out exactly two years ago" now did I you f*$&#@ jackass! :rolleyes:

these thiings fly! i will guarantee it would destroy anything made in the u.s. on 4 wheels, i have driven one. they are quite safe, i did try to push it a little and couldn't even find the top end. it rides lower than it looks. i dont think i could flip it over, and as for getting hit, why would you buy a car, bike or anything else that you intend on crashing? @ $30k usd. i think it is the absolute best deal for power/ ride/ performance/ safety/ and even the economics of 45 mpg. not to mention the looks...
please tell me of something better

Man, just let the thread die already :rolleyes:

Acutally I have been thinking about gettng one also soon. They are sold in the US. In Florida you can even rent them.

www.usa-trex.com

www.autobahn-motors.com

also look in dupontregistry under car section, exotic, Campagana

If anyone on this board owns one please tell me what you think about them. They are made in Montreal Canada, I saw one back in 1996 during the Formula 1 season.
