The
Carver has been in existence since 1993 as a prototype and as
exclusive hand built commercial machines. But as of June 2006
Carver customers started receiving the first deliveries of the
'mass produced' version.

Mass production to Carver is just 500 units per year worldwide,
but if these sell as well as the first models this could well
increase. And with Carver dealerships in both Europe and North
America the network is in place to support such expansion.
Part of the reason the Carver One stands a good chance of world
domination is quite simply the fun factor created by the tilting
mechanism. A feature no other vehicle can provide.
F1 driver Jenson Button said of the Carver One, "Absolute
madness... Fantastic!". While Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear
fame claimed: "
never had so much fun in a car, really
and truly. And I dont think Id ever get tired of
it!". Praise indeed.
Basically the Carver One is a 3 wheeled, tandem two seat sports
car which wants to be a motorcycle. While the occupants sit
in all the comfort found in a car, the Dynamic Vehicle Control
(DVC) system automatically adjusts the tilt angle of the body
to suit the speed and acceleration, ensuring that the vehicle
remains stable and firmly planted to the road.
Power for the Carver One comes from a rear mounted 659cc turbocharged
4 cylinder running through a 5 speed manual gearbox to the rear
wheels.
Features and factory options for the Carver One:
- Electric windows
- Leather or alcantara upholstery
- Radio/CD/MP3 player
- GPS navigation
- Ashtray, drinks holder and 12v socket
- Built in class III alarm
