2006 Volkswagen GX3 Concept

The GX3 was conceived by the Moonraker team and 
VW's Design Center in California, exclusively with the U.S. in mind.
The GX3 would be driven by a VW 1.6 liter engine. 
The four-cylinder delivers 92 kW / 125 hp. 0-62.5 mph (100 km/h) in 5.7 seconds.
It was considered a very unusual concept since it was three-wheeled and 
sometimes considered more of a motorcycle concept than a concept car; 
but it did feature great performance for a projected cost of only about US$17,000.
Later, the company cited possible safety issues that could lead to 
product-liability lawsuits and decided that production as-is impossible.

Bond Bug (1970–74)

The Bond Bug is a small British two-seat, three-wheeled sports car built from 1970 to 1974. It is a wedge-shaped microcar, with a lift-up canopy and side screens instead of conventional doors. The Bond Bug was based on Chief Engineer John Crosthwaite's newly designed chassis and some Reliant Regal running gear. The engine is the front-mounted 700 cc (later uprated to 750 cc) Reliant light-alloy four-cylinder unit which protruded into the passenger cabin. Basic models 700 and 700E produced 29 bhp (22 kW; 29 PS). The more up-market model 700ES provided a power increase to 31 bhp (23 kW; 31 PS). The Bond Bug was capable of some 76 mph (126 km/h). The Bug was available in a bright orange tangerine colour, although six white Bugs were produced for a Rothmans cigarette promotion. Only 2,200 units were made. (wikipedia)
