You forgot to mention it's heavier and less powerful than an Atom 3S!

19" wheels *smh*

It has its drawbacks, including no roof or top, but what a cool looking car! It has a better power-to-weight ratio than my C7 Stingray. That was a fun video to watch! $140,000, I don't think so. Have fun Chris Brown. He's probably already totaled it.

70K for an Atom is dumb enough, 140K is insane when it's only 200 lbs less than an Elise and is completely carbon fiber with no amenities at all.

Game over.

Why would they design 94.17% of a car and not offer what the Brits car "weather equipment"?

Looks like it would be fun to drive, but I find the exterior to be too busy. Body lines by George Lucas, it seems.
