Not a three wheeler, but interesting nonetheless. A design by Gordon Murray, who designed F1 cars for Brabbham and McLaren, it follows the Elio in using a proven propulsion system, in being light weight, and aerodynamic. Looks like it would be a great city car. (I can just see what creative "parking methods" Italian drivers could do with these!)

I'd be afraid it would tip over during hard cornering. Or being sucked into the slipstream of a semi. It might be better suited as a golf cart, or maybe around-town driving @ speeds under 35 MPH.
edit: Heres a clip of the cart in motion: [awful paint-job, imo]
