It's also incredibly dangerous. Funny concept, but the second you brake while turning, it tips forward and diagonally. And instead of sliding, the whole thing will roll.
Basically the prototype for the Geo Tracker
It claims it pivots in place, rather than takes wide turns. Would it be any less stable than any other three-wheeled car?
Oh yeah, it's much less stable if it actually drives around. Check out other three wheeled vehicles, there's a very big reason as to why there's always two wheels in the front than the back.
