Crazy 190bhp three-wheeler

03rd February 2010

Could this be the fastest thing on three-wheels? Marotti has just announced that its light-weight reverse-trike concept car is going into production.

The little known Polish manufacturer has been testing a prototype model, fitted with a 750cc Honda motorcycle engine. But, the firm has recently announced that the production version could get a 1.4-litre engine which puts out as much as 187bhp.

With a kerb-weight of 440kg, the newcomer would have a power to weight ratio of around 397bhp/ tonne- that's more than a Ferrari 458 Italia.

The radical jet-fighter inspired styling may not be for everyone and the car certainly looks best head-on, but if the Marotti can live up to the performance figures suggested then it could be destined for trackday glory.
