Pushing a tricycle hasn't been cool since pre-school. However, when Canadian auto/bike builder Campagna released the T-Rex'their two seat, jet fighter styled, mid-engined, three wheeled motorcycle/sports car hybrid'in 1996, that all changed. With neck-breaking looks and a sub 4 second 0-60 time, Jadakiss' favorite toy wound up in every baller's line up.

But after 12 years in the game, the Rex's design has gotten a little long in the tooth. To change all that, industrial designer Johnathan Côté has offered up his own take on the iconic roadster. While not endorsed by Campagna, Côté's design is a refreshing update to T-Rex, retaining most its stylistic cues, but adding a little flair and more aerodynamic lines. Let's hope the boys up north build this one. If not us, then for the Ruff Ryders. After the jump, check out the photos of Côté's design and the Jadakiss video “They Ain't Ready,” which featured the original T-Rex.
