After almost four years of waiting, we will finally see a production version of the famous Carver One three-wheeler. The vehicle was originally planned to go into production last May but was delayed for some reasons.
As you can see on the pictures above and below, the vehicle has a helicopter-like tandem twin-seat closed cockpit but behaves on the road like a motorcycle, banking while cornering with the help of Carver’s own Dynamic Vehicle Control system automatically adjusting the tilt angle to the speed and acceleration of the car. So, I guess, it may be a really fun to drive on a curvy road with good pavement.
Carver One’s main problem is its anemic 660cc, 16 valve engine mated to a five-speed gearbox. Capable of producing a maximum of 68 bhp, it takes about eight seconds to push the vehicle from zero to sixty. Its top speed is also limited to 115 mph.
,
I hope they will prepare a more powerful Carver Two or something if the Carver One will be of success.
