Part car and part motorcycle, the Tanom Motors Invader is already a pretty awesome road machine, but the Virginia-based company has teamed up with legendary rocker Sammy Hagar (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sammy%20hagar/) to create an even more unique version of this three-wheeler. The Red Rocker Edition of the Invader TC-3 will be unveiled at the SEMA Show (http://www.autoblog.com/sema/) next week, and playing off Hagar's I Can't Drive 55, only 55 of the special-edition models are being planned.

The production version of the Invader was unveiled at last year's SEMA Show, and the trike (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/trike/) is available as the open-top TR-3 or the TC-3 "coupe," but the Red Rocker Edition will only be offered on the latter model. This limited-edition model adds a unique black-on-red paint job with carbon fiber trim for the exterior and a suede-trimmed interior with Sammy's signature embroidered on the headrests. Speaking of the signature's, each of these Invaders will get a serial number plaque signed by The Red Rocker himself. There is no word how much the special-edition model will cost, but a standard TC-3 starts at $49,999.

Competing against the likes of the Can-Am Spyder (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/can-am+spyder/) and Compagna T-Rex (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/t-rex/), all Invader models are powered by a 194-horsepower four-cylinder engine borrowed from the Suzuki Hayabusu GSX1300R (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/Hayabusa/).
