14000 RPM with electric assist wheel mounted motors.
This would be a good hybrid between bike and car if someone wanted cheap high performance...

and coming from Aprilia, I'm sure it will be affordable.

Ya, that sucker could easily fit under a Semi... or even a SUV. Wonder if they could bring it to the US at all b/c of regulations. Reminds me of the T-Rex in a way.

Three wheels is safer than two but not as good as four. I like it.

They could easily bring it to the U.S. - just classify it as a motorcycle instead of a car.
Kinda reminds me of another hybrid motorcycle / car concept. Here's a video showing the
Mercedes F300 LifeRocket - at least the beginning of the video shows it. The rest moves on to the F400, etc. ...
Also

Wow, that's a pretty interesting concept! I actually like both of the concepts in the first vid.
