Pete Larsen of Seattle-based Liberty Motors has been producing cool three-wheelers for many years. Indeed, his Ace directly inspired the Morgan M3W and has now created the Ace F-6, which is powered by a Honda 1.8-litre engine but not from a Civic Type R but rather a Goldwing motorcycle meaning it is a flat-six unit, so must sound glorious.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Larsen worked closely with designer Pascal Golay of Rhino 3D and the shape is striking to these eyes.<\/p>\n

The Goldwing is now up to its sixth version, but Larsen uses the fifth-generation engine and five-speed sequential gearbox. A Haltech ECU keeps things in check, while suspension is via a single-sided trailing arm.<\/p>\n

The F-6 has a large footprint with a 95in wheelbase and a 64in track weighing in at 476kg.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A large tubular steel subframe wraps around the engine, while Brembo brakes bring things to a halt.<\/p>\n

Journalists in the USA who have driven the F-6 describe it as having superb ride quality, while performance is great with 135bhp on tap.<\/p>\n

Larsen regularly sends cars to Europe, so can supply UK customers and he is happy to deal direct. Be aware though that the F-6 is only available in left-hand drive, although a reverse gear is being developed.<\/p>\n

A price for the UK is hard to pinpoint what with currency fluctuations and import duty but a starting figure of about \u00a354,000.<\/p>\n
