Yeah, ok, it's another three wheeler! I've already posted about the relaunch of the Morgan ThreeWheeler, the retro Messerschmidt stylings of the Smite, and the one this reminds me most of all of, the Bond Bug.
Maybe it's the bright orange, because the configuration is round the other way (Two wheels at the front, like the Morgan – Technically this is called a reverse trike layout), maybe its's the Space 1999 style seats, but this little beauty reminds me of the offspring of the aforementioned Bond Bug, a Lotus Elise, and one of my five-year olds' HotWheels cars. Powered by a 1,300cc Suzuki Hayabusa engine, the Invader is easily good for 150mph. 0-60? Under 4 seconds. And you can get one for 44,000 of your American dollars. Very nice. On balance though, I think I'd have the Morgan. And an Elise. But that's probably a mixture of my innate patriotism and love of all things classic. What I do think is fantastic is that there are people making cars like this thesedays. It's what we SHOULD in 2011. After all, we're all IN the future now!
