Campagna T-Rex
T-Rex is a 2-seat, 3-wheeled motorcycle that combines the look and handling of a car with the fuel economy of motorcycle, created by Canadian Auto/Bike builder Campagna Corporation. Using a 1.2L, 4-cylinder engine, it accelerates from 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) in 4.1 seconds, with top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph). Although classified as a motorcycle, the interior can accommodate 2 passengers side-by-side, with adjustable backs, foot-pedal box, and 3-point retractable safety belts. The manual transmission, although controlled by hand, more closely resembles motorcycle transmissions than that of a car.
Built by Campagna Corporation, the T-Rex has been commercially available since the early 1990s. Its unique look and style has made it a collector's item for both car and motorcycle connoisseurs.
Campagna
Founded in 1990 in the Province of Quebec (Canada), the Campagna Corporation has acquired a reputation within the automotive industry since the development of the first T-Rex prototype in 1994. Campagna's founder Daniel Campagna has devoted more than 8 years to create the T-Rex, personally handcrafting the first vehicles [citation needed]||}}. Since then, Campagna has gathered a creative team of technicians carrying the mission, the vision and the T-Rex heritage.
The company is also known as T-Rex Vehicles Inc.
Roadhandling
Due to the absence of doors or windshield (optional), the vehicle maintains a very low weight. In addition, thanks to its low centre of gravity and 2 front wheels and single 315mm rear wheel, the vehicle can achieve turning G-forces greater than a substantial majority of four-wheeled vehicles.
