I n 2010 aer spending five years working on a prototype, Steve Hall, a former CAD designer at Novatek, founded Vanderhall Motor Works. Hall always had an attraction towards motorsports and gained an education in the automobile industry from owning an exotic vehicle dealership. When building and designing his prototype, he struggled to discover the most efficient and controllable way to create Vanderhall's autocycle. By transitioning to a front-wheel-drive approach, Steve Hall shook the automobile industry when he presented his prototype to the public, kicking off with the Laguna. Legally considered a motorcycle, the Laguna sparks curiosity with its desirable charm and modern design. Aer passing NHTSA testing and EPA certification in 2016, the Laguna, Laguna Sport Premium and the Laguna Bespoke Motoring Experience models were released. Equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine making 200 horsepower, and 6-speed automatic transmission, this autocycle is for those who love a good thrill and want to do so in style. Flash forward a year to 2017, Vanderhall Motor Works introduced the Venice, a simplified model with 180 horsepower. Named aer the Venice neighborhood in Los Angeles, this three- wheeled roadster added a single-seater design to the collection. e single-seater, "Speedster" approach to the classic model is complete with a wooden steering wheel to capture the class the Venice possesses. Vanderhall Motor Works' commitment to effortless performance and passionate drive led their "Speedster" endeavor into the European sales sector, internationally expanding the brand. Steve Hall has a deep understanding of the novelty and excitement the vehicles he created to bring to drivers, contributing to the success of Vanderhall's vehicles. e Venice 2020 model features a cabin expansion of four inches, creating more space and comfort in the front of the vehicle and incorporating a dash of practicality. is new model includes a 1.5 Liter Direct Injected 4-Cylinder Turbo engine, push-button start, cruise control, machine faced 18" wheels with plenty of detail-oriented tweaks to improve this already incredible autocycle. e Venice has two sleek color options, Poseidon Blue and Vintage Silver Metallic, both of which provide a polished, jaw- dropping exterior.
