The Skunk Malone kit cars were rear-wheel drive three-wheelers powered by Yamaha XJ900, Suzuki GSXR and similar engines.

The Skunk Prototype Performance
Yamaha XJ 650cc
All up wet weight: 270Kgs. Engine power: 74 bhp @ 9000rpm. Red Line: 10,000rpm. 0 to 60mph: 5.9secs. 0 to 100mph: 12.3 secs. Top speed: 124mph. 70 to 0: 35 meters.
The success of this project spurred me on to set about trying to design the ultimate high performance trike, a Supertrike that could stand between a Ducati 916, and a Ferrari F40. The SKUNK SPORTS SPECIAL is the result of this endeavor...
Inclusive prices range from £1900 for a starter kit to around £15,000 for a turn-key top specification Skunk Sports Special. A reverse gear box should be available with a price penalty of between £500 and £600, and a weight penalty of less than 15 KGs. The Skunk is 3.2M long with a track of 1.5M.
Performance Specs using standard Yamaha XJ900.
Average weight of 285-290 kgs
110 bhp, giving a power to weight of around 385 bhp/ton. 0-60 around 4.5-5 seconds
