You should see the V8 that Atom are now building (see Clarkson's latest DVD)

saw that in the PH thread, LG - that would do too

rampipes and short exhaust should make the v8 atom sound a beast - and go like the clappers!

Ariel Atom - like a kit car, but 5 times the price.

Yeah, very nice buy you are paying for a name

Looks good! But I bet it will be ridiculously expensive for what it is.

A match between the R500 and that would be interesting...

The supercharged version couldn't match the Caterham with a 100hp/t advantage

They are very nice things, it's not really fair to compare them to your average kit car but I'm too much a of 7 devotee to appreciate them, too modern, too clever.

The K20A is regarded as a fantastically-tuneable engine, in some ways better than the F20C

I believe some of Mugen's racing engines are based upon it.

They ought to call it the Atom E = MC^2!
