'''Campagna T-Rex''' is a 2-seat, 3-wheeled [[motorcycle]] that combines the look and handling of a [[automobile|car]] with the [[fuel economy]] of a [[motorcycle]], created by Canadian auto/bike builder [[Campagna Corporation]] located in [[Quebec]]. Using a 1.4 [[Litre|L]], 4-cylinder engine, it [[accelerate]]s from 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) in 3.5 seconds, with top speed of 253 km/h (157 mph). Although classified as a motorcycle, the interior can accommodate two passengers side-by-side, with adjustable seat backs, foot-pedal box, and 3-point retractable safety belts. The [[manual transmission]], although controlled by hand, more closely resembles motorcycle transmissions than that of a car.
The T-Rex has been commercially available since the early 1990s. Its distinctive and unusual look and style has made it a collector's item for both car and motorcycle connoisseurs.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}
==Roadhandling==
Due to the absence of [[door]]s or [[windshield]] (optional), the vehicle maintains a very low weight. In addition, thanks to its low [[center of gravity]], two front wheels and wide single rear wheel, the vehicle can achieve turning [[g-force|''g''-forces]] greater than a substantial majority of four-wheeled vehicles, 1.3G claimed by the manufacturer.
==T/R==
Campagna also produced a vehicle almost identical to the T-Rex, the T/R (Thunder Edition). The main differences are that it has no top and a S&S V-Twin power plant. Only 10 were made.
