Scorpion
Motorsports Prodigy
The
Prodigy from Miami, Florida based company Scorpion Motorsports is a three
wheeled sports car powered by a choice of three motorcycle engines.
The
base Prodigy model, the P6, is powered by a 600 cc Suzuki engine which puts out
125 hp. With this engine the Prodigy can hit 60 mph in 3.3 seconds. Also on
offer is the P10 1000 cc version which develops 150 hp, and the top spec P13
1300 cc model which produces 185 horsepower.
Sending
the power to the single rear wheel is a paddle shift sequential transmission.
The Proshift transmission system cuts ignition on upshifts and blips the
throttle on downshifts for seamless operation.
Even
though the Scorpion Motorsports Prodigy is road legal it has been primarily
designed for use on the track. Therefore it features numerous sytems and
engineering solutions which are often found on dedicated race cars. The hand
laid composite bodywork features a honeycomb construction nose section similar
to those found on F1 cars and core reinforced sides for increased strength and
safety. The massive front wing and underfloor aerodynamic tray help to keep the
Prodigy firmly planted to the road.
Inside, the Prodigy features a single leather covered sports seat and 5 point race
harness. Performance Tilton pedals are fitted as standard as is the
multifunction steering wheel with RPM display, shift light, gear indicator,
G-meter and 512 kb of internal memory for recording track session data which can
then be downloaded to a PC for further analysis.
Other
performance components of the Scorpion Motorsports Prodigy include adjustable
Ohlins suspension, Wilwood 4 piston calipers and scalloped floating discs.
