As interesting as that VW is, it is NO competition to an Atom. That VW was said to have something like just over 150 hp. With just one drive tire, it'll be lucky to be able to handle that much. An Atom can have 300 hp going to 2 tires.
An alternative? Not even close.
I'd still consider owning the VW, but you would be better to compare it to a T-Rex.

Again, faster than which bike? A bicycle? An R1 has roughly ~180 hp and only 3xx lbs.
