And on top of that, it costs less than a WRX, with no need to mod at all. Did I mention it's street legal, and is not a motorcycle? Check this out. By the way, 0 - 60 in 2.9 seconds.

oohhhhh snap! hey how much is $28000 pounds for the people accross the pond over here? would probably cost like 5k just to ship one over.

28,000.00 GBP = 48,622.77 USD

Judging from how light it is, it probably wouldnt be too expensive to ship over, some assembly required i'd imagine

I don't even have to watch the video to know that's the Atom. I think that means I watch too much Top Gear. Actually I'm not sure if that's possible. Top Gear is about the best car show on the planet.

People should watch this video though because the Atom is an amazing rig.

their actualy avaible in usa now. 55k for the 320hp model if you want the honda motor. 40k for the 250 hp model, ecotec engine

Dang, I forgot about the currency conversion. 55k for a vehicle that would wipe the floor of most cars out on the road right now, as long as it isn't raining

If you had an atom, you could pull up to an elise at a light and make fun of what a fat, slow pig of a car they were driving.

You can get T-Rexs here for less. Only three wheels, but similar idea. Atom is cooler looking, IMO.

I'd imagine the atom handles significantly better too. You can get them with 2 different aero kits as well. A CF or an aluminium one.

I agree, very cool, but the Elise would be more than raw enough for me. Plus, I think the Elise looks better.

Project_Legacy · Post by **Project_Legacy** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 6:47 pm

ive seen that episode too. that thing is wicked. so there's one in seattle??? damnit!!

subawhatsubawho · Post by **subawhatsubawho** » Tue Nov 15, 2005 6:54 pm

I wonder if it registers like a bike or a car? Notice the people in seattle wearing helmets.

FG!! · Post by **FG!!** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 4:44 am

car, it has four wheels. the size of the license plate is another indicator. helmet is just smart.

if it has three wheels, it registers as a motorcycle and you can drive in the carpool lane.

edit: maybe they need a helmet for the lack of windshield.

LaureltheQueen · Post by **LaureltheQueen** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 4:53 am

the windscreen is optional IIRC

I'd definitely wear a helmet if I were in one of those puppies

For $55k, I would take my wagon and "Atomize" it.
