Strike of the Cerberus

STRIKE OF THE CERBERUS

Remember the three-wheeled Tsunami, the fully faired prototype that married a Honda CBR900RR with a Suzuki Quadracer (Roundup, September, 1994)? Well, David Pence, the Art Institute of Pittsburgh professor who managed the project, is at it again. This time, Pence's company, Design Performance, has inked another hi-po threewheeler. The racy Cerberus remains in the design stage, but production plans call for a choice of three engines, ranging from a 100horsepower, 750cc inline-Four to a 300-bhp, 2.0-liter V-Eight. Prices should start at $17,500 for the stage-one CSI, which would weigh about 1000 pounds. The $35,000 CSIII is expected to offer the power-toweight ratio of a McLaren F1 street car.
