Surely there’s a reason why someone, after putting just 3,000 miles on this 2024 Campagna T-Rex RR, is selling it. Depending on your attitude about this three-wheeled machine, you might believe it could be for any number of interesting reasons. All we know is someone else will inevitably snatch this little toy up.
Off-roading a Polaris Slingshot is an excellent bad idea.
There are a number of three-wheeled vehicles out there which are supposed to give you a sporty or downright track-oriented experience. In some states you can register them as cars, but in others they’re legally considered motorcycles, meaning you need special insurance and an endorsement or license to drive it.
All we know is this isn’t the kind of vehicle for just anyone. Not only does it sit low to the ground (and so is easily missed by other drivers) it gives you more of an open-air experience than a Jeep Wrangler, definitely making it more like riding a motorcycle.
Plus, the lightweight toy tips the scale at just 998 lbs. and has a 1441cc naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that cranks out 208-horsepower. Sure, that’s not much when you’re talking about a passenger vehicle, but in this thing it’s plenty of power to get it moving in a hurry.
In fact, Campagna says it can go 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and pull 1.3 g in lateral acceleration. As the driver, you use a six-speed sequential transmission
Like a motorcycle, this has a swing arm rear suspension but up front uses a dual wishbone. Plus, there shock in the front and rear are adjustable, so you can get the kind of ride quality you want.
Even though this thing is marketed as a track toy, it comes with lockable side cases, one on each side. That means you could hit the open road, like what people do on their motorcycles, only those allow you to bring along a little bit of gear. You can also remove them.
Do you think this thing is a death trap on wheels or a great way to get out and enjoy the road? Would you plunk down the $64,995 being asked for it?
