Identified! Look after the jump....
I saw this thing on I-35E in Denton, Texas back in 2009. I saw what looked like an oddly proportioned race car coming up in my mirrors, but couldn't get my cellphone camera ready before it passed me at around 75mph.
It's obviously a 4-wheeler, but it was low to the ground, had very streamlined bodywork including between the front and rear wheels, and very wide low profile tires.
Pretty cool looking, but I don't know how stable is would be on the highway.
Update: I think I've identified it as a GG Quad.

Pretty sure that is a GG quad, an on road 4 wheeler powered by a BMW motorcycle engine. However, they aren't legal in America b/c motorcycles can have no more than 3 wheels.

Hey, no problem. Thanks for reading.
ReplyDeleteI'm just wondering how he got it on the road legally (if it is). They also cost around $50K from what I've read. Must be a story there somewhere.

Yes, there were two BMW-engined quads produced by G&G. First was the Boxer-powered Quad, then the K-bike-engined Quadster, tested here by Motorcycle.com: http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/2008-gg-quadster-review-80257.html
