Morgan recently announced it was bringing the asymmetry back with the re-introduction of their steam punk throwback Morgan 3 wheeler. Here it is in Geneva, done up like a sexy Spitfire. More »

British wood-car builder Morgan stepped into the 21st century with the EvaGT, but it's also taking a step back by reviving the Threewheeler, with grunt from a Harley-Davidson V-Twin turning a Mazda gearbox. Has someone been reading our diary? More »

Know how Saab claims to be "Born From Jets?" Well the Marotti trike actually has tail-fins and will probably kill you. Power comes from a 100 HP motorcycle engine and it weighs just 970 Lbs. More »

Combining a motorcycle v-twin with three wheels certainly isn't the most logical path to a sports car, but you can't argue with the results. Popular Mechanics reviews two: the Liberty Ace and Blackjack Zero. [PopularMechanics] More »

When it comes to segment blurring, the team at BRP's Can-Am have aimed a shot across the bow of both ultralight sports car makers and motorcycle manufacturers with their new Spyder. We've been following the release of this snowmobile with wheels since spy shots first surfaced back in December. And now we've just made sweet, sweet test-driving love to it. Given this is such an oddball vehicle, it makes a lot of sense to get into the hands of reviewers and early adopters to build some buzz before it's on the show floor, thus the TrySpyder campaign. Authorized dealers all over this great nation are passing around a couple of Spyders and letting the eager public (and dealership employees) beat them like rented mules. Test drive a 106 hp, Rotax-powered, first-of-its-kind, backwards trike for free? No strings? Thank you sir, I believe I will. More »
]]> http://jalopnik.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=263745&view=rss&microfeed=true We love the Reliant Robin the way we love a three-legged kitten. You consistently feel sorry for it, but it's impossible not to feel affection for the damned thing. Top Gear, of course, tried to turn one into a Space Shuttle, and the season before that they'd turned a Toyota Hilux, a Vanagon and Triumph Herald into amphibious vehicle. We have no idea whether this particular aquatic Robin still works as a car, but it seems to be doing a damn sight better as a boat than the ones fielded by Clarkson, Hammond and May. It doesn't explode, either, but we still kind of have a crush on it. – Davey G. Johnson More »

Robert Q. Riley Enterprises says its new plug-in diesel-electric hybrid is two months from launch. (It'll debut on June 16.) Purportedly, the three-wheeled XR-3 will get 125 mpg on its three-cylinder, 23 hp diesel engine alone, and 225 mpg when coupled with an electric motor driving the rear wheel. Riley, a well-known custom car builder and purveyor of kit-car plans, will offer the XR-3 in kit form. For those with more time and talent than reasons just to sit and watch reruns of "Freak Show," the company will offer it as a set of plans only. [UPDATE: Press release after the jump.] – Mike Spinelli More »

I think Ralph Nader's infamous title is perhaps more apropos in this situation than in its original context. I first saw this contraption cruising Woodward during the Dream Cruise last summer, but couldn't seem to catch up to it. Now it's cornered quarry and far more dangerous than I'd thought. As mentioned, that's a blown GM 502 ci V8. The shock comes from the numbers: 700 hp and 733 lb-ft of torque. That goodness is running through a custom-built 200R4 transmission to a Ford 9" rear and 20" wide Mickey Thompsons. Yeah, that's more batshit craziness than most muscle cars with four wheels (and seat belts and a roll cage, and...). I can almost taste the sublimated June bugs just looking at it. – Ben Wojdyla More »

So the Can-Am Spyder is a bit of an oddity, and it was pretty much off everyone's radar, but we're on it like crazy on Congress now. The real deal grown up website is going live at 11:00pm which is like now and that means specs, new pics, maybe some vids, certainly some wacky marketing pitches. I can't promise I'll be posting the wacky goodness instantly since it's SaturdayFriday night and I'm lazy/half drunk, but I WILL be checking it out when it goes live, as all of you should too. Everyone should be a little bit psyched by tthe rollout of an all new niche, the motorcycle-automotive hybrid. Oh yeah, the possibilities for hyphenated hybridization are so exciting. – Ben Wojdyla More »

Those asymmetrically inclined Canadians who build the T-Rex trike are offering their creation to Londoners this week. They're hoping to win over Brits to their lightning-quick Kawasaki-powered trike, which they say can hit 60 mph in 3.3 seconds. The three-wheeler is powered by a 187-hp 1400 cc bike engine, inserted into a tubular chassis frame, with a carbon-fiber body dropped overhead. We'd imagine the lil' bugger will go over big in certain circles, like among the suicidal idle rich. More »

Spinner hubs on a three-wheeled T-Rex? Somewhere in the Bronx, there's a one-legged pimp leaning on his Jakob the Jeweler cane. [Thanks to Martjin for the tip.] More »

Australia's Gizmag reports on a new concept three-wheeled vehicle to carve its way onto our purview, the Phiaro P67b ETERNITY. Now in its give-us-money proof-of-concept stage, the Japanese-built, aeronautically named P67b has two tandem-arranged seats, a 67hp 660cc motor, and is designed to lean into corners like a motorcycle, or like its Dutch peer, the Carver, with which it shares an engine and tilting technology. Like the Carver, the Phiaro will likely sell for around $40,000. More »

The Narrow Car Company of Wales aims to see its weird innovative Naro city commuter car as a working test mule later this year. As you may recall from a release earlier this year, the Naro, a tandem-oriented two-seater that can lean into corners, was designed to combine the driving dynamics and economy of a motorcycle with the comfort of a pup tent an enclosed car. Research for the concept came from the minds of motorsports engineering firm, Prodrive, though the Naro is being built by the Narrow company, whose principal was formerly of Prodrive and, before that, Lotus. The company is still seeking financial backers, but has set a target launch date of 2008. The company plans plans to produce 1,500 Naro models a year in South Wales, selling for around $9,400 each.

Along with its recent announcement that it would compete in the Le Mans Endurance Series Championship, Peugeot's new commitment to motorsports has a face, and three wheels. The company's 20Cup prototype roadsters, which look like the product of a lab accident involving a 907 concept and a race-bred wheelbarrow, synthesizes the motorcar and motorcycle worlds in one, awkwardly attractive package.
