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.



Everything anyone could want in a sports vehicle
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 don’t think I’d 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
