10 seconds to 60 was pretty quick in 1982.

For a modern version, check out the Lomax - there's both 4- and 3-wheeler versions out there. It starts from a Citroen 2CV chassis; for the 3 you remove one rear wheel and its swingarm, and turn the other swingarm over so it's facing inward. Funny but effective.

There was also the HMV Freeway, built in Burnsville MN. It was powered by a Tecumseh rider mower engine and could deliver 100mpg. Tandem two-seater. I'd like having one of those.
