Xotic X1F Endeavour (Zah-Tik)

Is a high-performance three-wheel sports prototype created by William Ortis at automotive design studio Lionheart Creations in the mid 80’s in America.

A single prototype was produced built based upon a tube ladder-frame chassis with fiberglass bodywork featuring scissor style doors, powered by a rear-mounted Porsche 914 4-cyl cylinder boxer engine with an automatic transmission, although the original proposal was for a APU gas turbine jet engine?

Plans were tentatively made for low volume production, but this was never realized with the prototype being consigned to history and not surviving.

In 2008 there were basic design sketches published, but these never got off the drawing board.
