Well if its meant as a track only car then there are better options: formula cars, radicals, etc.
This car like the Atom is obviously meant for rich guys who would like to have something different from the avg. supercar

It's no less practical than a bike, but I'm sure it could be considered safer in some ways. If it were street legal it would only give people more of a reason to buy it. Some people buy things like that because they just want to cruise around in something that looks like a crazy Hot Wheels car.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't think the atom is so beautiful either- more functional then pretty
But that KTM- apart from having no chance of being built-is completely ugly imo.
You may not know it but Lotus builds a track car that looks very similar to the KTM just not so grotesque

Very cool. I like that a lot, but I will wait to see the customer's version before making any down payments.

I think it's great looking, especially when compared to the Atom.
I like the Atom, this is just so much more good looking and "practical".
And who says it isn't street legal or can't be made street legal. If they can make a 7 clone street legal then this one should be easy.
A little different roll bar structure and you could actually make a removable hardtop panel to allow it to be driven (whether on the track or the street) in inclement weather. Or at least shield you from the hot Texas sun. That would be a big plus

Another Audi-powered Roadster, it is called the Yes! (shouldn't that be "Ja"?)
