Can anyone please explain why a car tilts towards the outside of a
circle unlike a motorcycle which tilts towards the inside of a
circle? There's both centripetal force but the roll/tilting is
different.

What should I do to the car to make it lean/tilt towards the inside of
a circle when cornering (like a motorcycle)?

I built a small reverse trike with no front suspension. I once tried
to do a hard left turn and the left wheel got off the ground so I had
to slow down and steer the other opposite direction.

I don't want to eliminate roll.... I want it to roll to the direction
I'm steering.
steer left - roll left
steer right - roll right

Does this have anything to do with caster? or maybe camber settings?

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.
