The "Ariel Atom" Street legal race car. VERY COOL!




Topic started on 12-3-2009 @ 09:52 PM by spacedoubt


Now THIS looks like fun.

A street legal no-frills race car, with a Honda Engine.
It out accelerates every other street legal auto in the world.
About 46,000 USD.

These are Hand built cars.
A mid-lifers dream car, if I do say so myself.
Here is the companies website:

It says that the base price is $65,000.

No matter how you slice it, that's a little steep.

It does look like a lot of fun, though.

eh, you're right. I got the price from a Tech show I watched a couple of nights ago.
the episode was from 2006.

They've got a V-8 version of the car too.
I think it's one of the coolest designs to come out in a long time.

My grin would have to be surgically removed after driving one of those.

Do you have another link to the video?

What the hell does 'Embedding disabled by request' mean anyway? Whose request?

just follow the YouTube link and you can watch the video.


That thing is awesome! I would love to have one. The problem however is I don't think that it would be legal in the US to drive. (no windshield, or wipers)

But dang that thing would be a blast to drive around.

There is a "kit car" loophole. That would allow it to be driven.
Safer than a Crotch rocket!



Chadwickus.
The Bugatti looks seriously fun too.
