The stylish new Invader will utilizes a unique reverse trike three-wheel design (two steering front wheels, one rear drive wheel), that offers two passengers with comfortable, enclosed side-by-side seating, plus car-like controls.

The “Invader” has a center of gravity that’s inches off the road, allowing it to corner like a super car. But with its open air design, you truly get that ‘close to the road sensation’ that is unequaled in anything else.
Talon Motors has teamed up with rock-and-roll legend and long time exotic car enthusiast, Sammy Hagar. Hagar and Talon Motors are currently designing a signature series, “Red Rocker” edition of the Invader in 2011.
The luxurious “Red Rocker” model will contain design and performance elements influenced by both Hagar and the Talon design team.
