the vanderhall venice three-wheeler roadster

the vanderhall ‘venice’ is a compact three-wheeler roadster with nostalgic design cues. made by ohio-based vanderhall motorworks, its hand-made little sportscar shares a similar platform to the lazareth ‘wazuma GT’, or the iconic morgan vehicles of yesteryear. riding just 4.5 inches from the ground with an open-top carbon composite body to make the driver feel at the heart of the great outdoors, the ‘venice’ comes with modern refinements such as a wooden steering wheel, heated seats, LED headlamps, plus a 600 watt premium bluetooth sound system.

at the core of the vanderhall ‘venice’s’ structure is a lightweight mono-aluminum chassis, housing a 200 horsepower 1.4 turbocharged engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. this combination allows the three-wheeler to accelerate from 0-60 mph in under five seconds, while its top speed is limited at 130 mph, offering the driver an exhilirating experience. this handbuilt roadster seats two people in the open cockpit, with a 4600 cubic inch rear cargo bay for storage. the ‘venice’ comes in three exterior paint finishes – ‘metallic’ black,  ‘metallic’ grey, and ‘pearl’ white — all of which will turn plents of heads on a countryside running route.
