We propose a scalar potential of inflation, motivated by modular invariant supergravity, and compute the angular power spectra of the adiabatic density perturbations that result from this model. The potential consists of three scalar fields, S, Y and T, together with two free parameters. By fitting the parameters to cosmological data at the fixed point T=1, we find that the potential behaves like the single-field potential of S, which slowly rolls down along the minimized trajectory in Y. We further show that the inflation predictions corresponding to this potential provide a good fit to the recent three-year WMAP data, e.g. the spectral index n_s = 0.951. The TT and TE angular power spectra obtained from our model almost completely coincide with the corresponding results obtained from the \LambdaCDM model. We conclude that our model is considered to be an adequate theory of inflation that explains the present data, although the theoretical basis of this model should be further explicated.
