While attending the 2011 SEMA Show last week, we stumbled upon the striking Invader TC-3 from Tanom Motors. A cross between a superbike and a supercar, this machine's looks are reminiscent of the famous Campagna Motors T-Rex, while its performance promises to be exhilarating.


The Invader TC-3 features an enclosed, fibreglass-wrapped cockpit complete with a roof, glass windshield, dual race-style bucket seats, triangulated side protection bars, and a roll cage. It even comes standard with a ventilating system, glove box and cup holders!

Using a Suzuki Hayabusa engine that generates 194 horsepower through a 6-speed sequential transmission, the Invader TC-3 shoots from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in a little under 4.0 seconds before reaching a top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h).

A race-inspired, fully adjustable suspension keeps the Invader TC-3 monster glued to the road, while powerful disc brakes with four- and six-piston callipers are there to slow it down.
