To tell the truth, I don't know what it is. I couldn't click on the original picture (it was behind a paywall) so this is a screencap. Google image search turns up nada. Looks like the name is a "Vision EOS" or something like that, but nothing comes up under that name either. 'Tis a mystery.
Meanwhile, enjoy the new Mazda Vision Coupe.

History. Memories. A car isn't beautiful on its own. It's made beautiful by the shared history it has with its people. By what it can do, what it has done, what it proves.

To make sure you get maximum enjoyment from the elements, the Elva has a pioneering active air management system [AAMS]. It works by guiding high speed air over the open cabin, creating calm around driver and passenger. It means you get the full adrenaline rush, undistracted.

Questions:
What happens if the car in front of you kicks up a rock or splashes a mud puddle?
What happens if you have a piece of paper (or even a loose gas card or coat) in the car?
What happens if it starts to rain?

You wear a helmet. With a face shield if you're smart. And you don't go 200 mph.
Now, I'm not saying everyone who rides a motorcycle is smart. History has proven otherwise.

Are you talking about T. E. Lawrence? He was reasonably bright.
Your remark about helmet and face shield indicates a lack of extensive knowledge of motorcycles.

I'm a bit too old to fool around with one of these, but I bet it's a fun drive.

Triumph was a brand that produced some good-looking cars that a lot of people seemed to like back then. But it was known for being "touchy". If you were a home mechanic type of guy who loved fiddling with your car every weekend, I guess that wasn't an issue. But if you wanted something that just ran right without having to worry about it, probably you'd want something else.
