+1 on the boxer engine. They have scads of kits to adapt our motor to a sandrail so I would not think it too overly difficult to put the engine in the atom frame. Having said that, the SC Honda engine does sound badass on that car. Whatever the engine, I JUST WANT ONE!!!:)

I think that in our lifetime we will witness the adoption of very strict rules concerning emissions and fuel consumption on street legal engines. The atom may be the future of compact performance as we adapt to new regulations. There are a group of F1 engineers who are currently custom building electric cars that will put down nearly as much horse power (though a touch less torque) on a very similar "driver only" cockpit design. A full charge is acquired in about 3 hours and it recharges as it runs to give you 8 hours drive time at moderate speeds. Ill look for the info and link it.
