No need for radical compromise, just correct setup. The 1982 Trihawk was tested by Road and Track and found to be faster than a Porsche 924 in the slalom and faster on the skidpad than all the cars they'd tested to that time other than the BMW M1, The Lamborghini Countach, the Ferrari Boxer, and the Porsche 930 Turbo. "Lofty company indeed." they added. The Trihawk had the front suspension from a Citroen GSA, which kept the front wheels at the same dynamic camber angle as the rear.
Road and Track said "The Trihawk brings out the latent formula-car driver in anyone."
