Trie-hawk. That sounds familiar. ... Here it is :

If you still need some clues about what EXACTLY a Trihawk is, I'll try to quickly fill you in. It was initially built in Mokena, IL before moving west to California. Production was limited to 1983 thru 1985, with less than 100 vehicles produced.
...
The front-wheel-drive engine/tranny combination was borrowed from the Citroën GSA, a car which was never imported into the US. The 1299cc 4 cylinder boxer engine was well suited to the task. Other components were borrowed production vehicles, such as the front suspension and rear trailing arm coming from the Renault R5, steering rack from a Renault Alliance and dash gauges from Honda.

Ok, with probably only 100 built, that must be why I don't remember it. I like that it is very low to the ground (very stable, yes?). I'll bet I am mixing it up with a 3-wheeled Kit-Car with a similar(?) name.
