Admittedly this isn't a SlingShot but it is definitely a cool looking vehicle. I would love to have one in my garage!!!

Ummm.... *what* is it? What's the drivetrain and power plant?

It's basically a streamlined sidecar setup. Right-click on the picture above and select "Search Google for image" and you should get links to the Krauser Domani.

found an article and more photos Cycleweird Short: The Krauser Domani

This is a Krauser Domani. The engine is a K1200 BMW motorcycle engine producing about 150 HP.
Krauser was a world champion sidecar racer back in the day. After he hung up his leathers he managed the German National Sidecar Team. After leaving BMW he did quite well selling motorcycle luggage to BMW motorcyclists that wanted to go touring.
He had always wanted to design his own machine and apparently he was a design genius as well. Even though the Domani has a lot of motorcycle DNA it is really more like a three wheeled car than like a motorcycle sidecar rig. He started producing Domanis in the late eighties and on into the nineties. Only about 100 of these vehicles were made and their intended market was Japan and Europe.
Every now and then one pops up for sale so I will start saving all my spare change just in case.
