Looks like a Bugatti 3 wheeler - hope it isn’t priced the same!
Kudos to Pete for continuing 3 wheeler R&D. A lesson for Morgan perhaps...

It is interesting that he is sticking with RWD. How is the rear wheel driven with this one?

If it's full Honda Gold Wing, then shaft drive all the way to the rear wheel.

It is a spectacularly close coupled Goldwing and nothing extra. Engine, trans, shaft to rear differential/hub and wheel. Nothing to get dirt and debris in the drive and you can bet it is smooth and quiet.

so is he also using a gold wing engine? Sort of like sitting on a sewing machine  I kind of like the inherent vibration, sort of like a rotary engine in a WWI or II plane.

Yep, Goldwing engine, smooth and quiet unless you modify the pipes.

I'm not sure a comparison to the Slingshot is equitable. I've always thought that the Slingshot looked a bit like an inbred Transformer, it's engine is in front and is surprisingly large in person. I do agree with the Bugatti reference and think this looks like it could be a Veyron's larval stage. I'm pretty sure that Pete will be selling these like a new limited run supper-car. I don't think there is a formal application process but there's been mention of them going to a 'select' group of owners. After owning ACE#10 for a short time I'm confident this will be quite something special; a race to Valhalla in a scalded hell-cat of his own making. another rendering...
