Default Ariel Atom sporting "H"

I have been in love with this car since the first time I saw it. This version looks awesome! I must buy one of these...

That thing is tiny! I saw one down in Huntington beach the other day. Looked like a mini F1 car as it was exiting the freeway.

You saw one on the ROAD? That's insanity. Risking being crushed by a truck.

I wouldn't use it as a daily driver, but I'd certainly use it to have fun with on the streets. It wouldn't be the safest thing ever, but I'd venture to guess it'd be safer than a bike.

To my knowledge Gordon is currently doing his own thing right now. My company and him are actually pretty good friends. We designed the transmission for the Mclaren F1. I do believe that he did have heavy influence on the Ariel Atom. The Rocket Car that he designed was a sight to see. That thing was crazy fast.

I love that "thing", it must be fun to drive, but I find it difficult to refer to it as a "car"
