THE T-REX HISTORY AT A GLANCE

VISIONARY DESIGN FROM
QUEBEC, CANADA

Daniel Campagna, a French Canadian lead mechanic and close friend of renowned Formula 1 champion Gilles Villeneuve, long envisioned a vehicle with F1-inspired performance, featuring exhilarating accelerations, precise handling, and exceptional cornering while remaining as lightweight as possible.

The first concept of the vehicle debuted in 1988 in Plessisville, Québec, with a groundbreaking 3-wheeled design that marked the beginning of Campagna Motors. This innovative vehicle set the stage for a new era in recreative transportation, combining the thrill of a motorcycle with the stability of a car.
