What is the turning radius like on the Super 3? Has anyone mentioned that yet? Looking at some photos, it looks like the steering linkage has been moved forward, which I would think should improve it, but I'm not sure by how much as the wheels are also larger. Thanks. Hi Craig, my Super 3 handbook describes the turning circle diameter as 12.4m (40.7 ft). Hope this helps.

Hi Craig, my Super 3 handbook describes the turning circle diameter as 12.4m (40.7 ft). Hope this helps. Surely that can't be correct, if so, it's ridiculously large. My mid-size SUV turning circle is only 10.5m and my Abarth 124 is 9.4m. Even a BMW 7 Series has a smaller turning circle at 12.3m Having said that the front track of the Super 3 does look to be unduly wide for a "compact" three wheeler.

I always thought my old M3W had the turning circle of the Queen Mary. How do they compare? The Super 3 is certainly much wider.

If it was any bigger it would need bow thrusters.

I got a couple of pics form the factory. Not the best quality pics, but I'm happy they sent a couple. I noticed the wing logo is in the yellow stitching... glad for that. I remember reading on some early builds it wasn't deviated like the rest of the stitching. Can't wait for it to arrive in the states! the colour on my M3W was nothing like what I got from the factory pics.... and while mine was suppose to be custom, there was identical to it sold in NC.

I got another pic from them before it was assembled and it looked a bit different than this one. Not as bright. I’m sure the pic I posted is not fully represented of what it will look like in person. The custom color I went with was Lamborghini Viola Parsifae. I have know idea if anyone else ordered the color, but it took about a month back and forth with them to get it approved it so I’m guessing I’m the first.

Of course, this is only important in slow parking manoeuvres, where you will be lighting up the back tire to donut turn in 1.5 - 2x the length of the car - say 6m?

Hi Craig, my Super 3 handbook describes the turning circle diameter as 12.4m (40.7 ft). Hope this helps. I don't have the figure to hand but the Super3 turning circle is just over 1 metre less than the M3W. The M3W is limited by the (lack of) space between the mudguard and the exhaust.

Thanks Chris. The extra width works in its favour, but doesn’t help with fitting a garage…
