Dan I dont like the looks either

But for sheer brilliance in developing a track / road weapon, not alot comes close.

The looks of the thing are kind of irrelevant though.

yeah i spotted it the other day with plates, there must have been some serious dick sucking to pull that off, as it was never meant to be road licence due to the way it was brought in..

Ariel Atoms are currently only imported for track use here in Australia and the waiting list is Super Long. The importer is also working on getting the complience organised but there is no time given for that as yet. New Zealanders as usual get the better deal - its already sold as a road car.

How many of you guys would sell your WRXs to get it? its not Turbo charged for starters but the 'uped' version is Supercharged making around 300HP for a 500kg shell and... its powered by a Honda Engine

for those interested here is the website of the importer

I would love an atom, although if you threw 45k at a westfield clubman you would make it handle the same and go as fast and save yourself 15k. Just check out the megabusa clubman specs...

Hell yes... I would adore a Clubman.

Actually got enough space in the new place to consider doing something like that one day

Yeah we got a call at CAMS months ago from a guy who was importing an Atom... maybe its that one that is finally arrived? I was under the impression he was bringing it in on race/rally use only permits etc.... but hey with the bozo's at DOTARS anything is possible lol
