They are a genuine company in poland,

Looked at some of their vids. Looks and sounds OK, but seems to have a turning circle, more suited to something ocean going.

The photo is one of theose 'concept pics' - have they even built any?  And would they qualify to register in UK?

Not really a problem as I can't imagine anyone on here spending that kind of money!

Watch the video BG, it is something similar (but not the same as the pic)  as Mike says, it seems a bit strange.   But for me it has a fascination, putting that sort of power in a trike from a unit, I presume to be from a mid engine car, complete with gear box and axle!

Think the engine is an Audi. Don't know about the transmission. Possibly Audi V8 front wheel drive (was available in USA), Quatro with rear drive locked off or, the V8 can be mated to the Porsche Boxster transmission.
As an engineering exercise it's OK but unless you like not being able to see or steer because the front is in the air, it has too much power.
