They bought the design rights to the "TriHawk" of which something like 99 were made in the mid 80's. Think Lotus 7 with 3 wheels to get around auto-regs, and did the skid pad better than the Vette back in the day.
Whilst they would need to re-engine it to one of theirs, it is a good design, I am flummoxed about this business decision....
