Pete Larsen of Liberty Motors in Seattle WA didn't 'retire' after selling his ACE designs to Morgan a decade ago. Pete has been back at it and his ACE 2.0 will be a mid-engine 3 wheeled screamer! It has a flat 6 and shaft drive from a Honda Goldwing just behind the seats that are basically between the front wheels and the gas pedal is inches behind the nosecone for anyone that feels too sheltered currently.
I for one can't wait; in Pete's words it will be a, "Bug-eyed and ethereal experience!"

The frame is a work of art, some of the best welding i have seen. And the geometry of it suggests it will handle like a formula car.

pretty, but doesnt seem as special as the ACE, or M3W. This just looks like another run of the mill 3 wheeler kits out there. If you wanted a closed engine bay, you would be better off with a slingshot I am sure.

Trust me, the Ace 2.0 is much more sophisticated and doesn'y even come close to looking like a Batmobile like the Slingshot. The handling should be light years ahead of all other 3 Wheelers.

Now that is one sophisticated looking 3 wheeler, he deserves lots of success with this design with such a smooth power unit and drive train to match an equally sophisticated chassis by the sound of it.
