The car rolls (the actual name of what you're describing) because the
centrifugal force is pushing it away from the center of the corner, but
the friction from the tires is keeping it in line.  However, since the
center of mass of the vehicle is higher than the tire/road interface,
the car rolls.

The bike does not lean by itself, the rider induces the lean.

Get an active suspension.

Nope.

Of course it would. With no suspension you have no provision for
progressive roll.

You could try tilting your head or making an active suspsension.

For the suspension you will need to add 4 inflatable cow udders, one at each
spring on your car. Each udder can be inflated and deflated independently
by a signal sent to solenoid controlled valve. You will need a pretty
powerful air compressor.

You will also need a small microcontroller which takes input from an
accelerometer. The microcontroller runs a program to calculate the
pressure at each udder to compensate for the centrifugal force calculated.

Several things going on.
The bike by itself does not lean into a turn, the driver leans and takes
the bike with him.  The biker is more or less part of the bike, unlike a
car driver.  The biker also raises the center of gravity and moves it
out past the wheels during a turn.
The bike tries to stay upright due to the inertia and centrifical
force of the wheels.
So, if could attach a much heavier and taller driver to your vehicle he
would be able to over come the centrifical force of the Rev trike.  It
would be best to get the center of gravity past the inside wheel.
Or like Nate said, go with an active suspension.
Or a seat that power slides the driver to the inside of a turn and gets
him over the inside wheel during tight turns.

The cycle leans into the turn because the CG is changing due to the
rider leaning.  The rider weighs a large fraction of the curb weight
of the vehicle, so the rider shifting has a big effect on the location
of the CG.  Also, the tire patch support on a cycle is within a line
and any time the CG moves off that line, the vehicle will tend to
lean.

On a car, the driver portion of the curb weight is a small fraction,
so even if the driver DOES lean, the CG does not move far.  Further,
the support is within a square, so would have to move a lot for a
simple upset.  Instead, one must look at the roll couple, the torque
around a line passing from the rear suspension roll center to the
front suspension roll center due to the distance from the CG to that
line.  This torque must be offset by the torques generated in the
suspension as the car does lean.

Actually, one can raise the roll centers enough that the car WILL lean
into the turn. MB demonstrated such a vehicle one time, but found
there was no real advantage, and some real disadvantages, to such a
setup.  Trains, however, have been built with such suspensions as it
was supposed to make the ride more comfortable for the passengers.

You've GOT to be kidding.

Look for "Torix-Bennet suspension.

Big wing as on a spring car.

Very little.

As soon as you figure out how to do what you want to do, write a scientific
paper on it, because you will have overcome the laws of physics.

And, there will be a line of race car engineers at your door seeking to buy
whatever secrets you have discovered that make weight shift to the opposite
direction of centrifugal forces.....secrets that they have been unable to
discover.

They get paid some pretty large dollars to work full time on weight
transfer, and they haven't discovered the secret......

.....yet, you expect to find the answer in a newsgroup that has at least as
many pretenders as people with authentic automotive knowledge.

Why don't you crack open an automotive engineering book or two? It may save
you the embarassment of asking such stupid questions.

Aren't you the guy who doesn't know the difference between a monocoque
chassis and a uni-body setup?

Put your mother-in-law on the other side of the car? ;-)
