Cool! Ugly! How designed that thing? It looks like a Cadillac CTS bred with that KTM car, not a good combo IMHO.

Must not have very good handling, if the driver has to go halfway into the opposing traffic lane just to pass a semi. It is pretty darn wide just for a 2-seater, even if there are two cupholders between the seats.

Epic FAIL.

When are people going to realize that three wheelers are a performance joke? Lets make one end have twice as much grip as the other! That's a great idea!

Isn't the big advantage of a trike avoiding the complexity of the differential and rear drive shafts?

Because they clearly have front CV shafts.

I couldn't watch too long but it looks like it's front wheel drive and the rear end hopefully, just trails along behind you....

On Top Gear, Jeremy was having a ball in the Hayabusa powered trike (Mantis?). Of course that was in the wet doing big fast turns so maybe in normal conditions on tighter turns that setup is not the best? But I still think a rear wheel powered Delta would be fun to burn some rubber on, for drifting at least.
