History

File:Vanderhall Laguna.jpg

Vanderhall Motor Works was founded in 2010 by Steve Hall. Hall, who had been a CAD designer at Novatek, spent five years prototyping before offering his designs to the public. His initial model was the Laguna: a three-wheel roadster that is federally classified as a motorcycle and passed final testing for NHTSA and EPA certification in 2016.{{Cite news|url=http://www.hotrod.com/articles/whats-autocar-look-example-vanderhall/|title=What's an Autocar? We Look at This Example From Vanderhall – Hot Rod Network|date=2017-05-10|work=Hot Rod Network|access-date=2017-09-01|language=en-US}} In 2016, Vanderhall officially produced three autocycle models: Laguna, Laguna Sport Premium, and the Laguna Bespoke Motoring Experience. Each features a 1.4-liter, turbocharged GM Family 0 engine with a GM 6-speed automatic transmission.
