Single-Seater

It's hot, it's French, and yes, it's the 2009 Renault Megane Trophy. First shown at the 2008 Paris Auto Show, the newly revised auto features a V6 3.5-liter powerplant that has been bumped up to 360 bhp. Renault claims that with the new aerodynamics and tweaked engine,  their Megane Trophy can keep up with a Porsche GT3. 

Renault Sport incorporates the same mechanicals from the current car which features a FIA-homologated sports-prototype tubular chassis, a semi-automatic gearbox with paddle shifters, an adjustable double wishbone suspension along with 18-inch wheels and Michelin tires.

One bummer, the Renault Megane Trophy is only available as an upgrade kit for existing cars and modification must take place at the factory in Alpine factory in Dieppe. And as a single-seater, no hot French girl will be able to ride along with you... 

What do you get when you take a cutting edge designer, a Honda RC51 motorcycle and a 3 wheel chasis? The Hodge Hawk! Innovator Alex Hodge in New Zealand has created a conceptual design of a new high-performance trike with 120 bhp, 10,000 rpm engine powering a fiberclass shell and allow chasis. 

Top speed is estimated at 145 mpd. Braking comes in the form of disc-brakes in front and two sets fitted on the single rear wheel. Speaking of wheels, you also would get a set of lightweight allow rims to give your ride a little edge. No details on whether or not the Hodge Hawk will ever be produced but it's most definitely cool.
