dmanero is an unknown quantity at this point
Looks like a nice little toy, but a supercar, I think not

The car definitely does not need another 200hp nor does it need another 30mph on the top end. And for $150k more than what you can pick up a 300hp Atom for? Absolutely not.

Why not a supercar? Given that on any road or track I can think of the Atom would make any currently supercar look like a horse and cart in comparison.

MONSTER! But I agree with Ben, utterly overkill! The 300bhp Atom is more then enough

seriously, sure it may keep up with some of the big boys, but look at any of the supercars today and they all have exotic, aggressive and high class written all over them, this looks like a dare I say something anyone can put together in the garage. Next thing your going to say that the corvette is a supercar.

The Ariel Atom is WAY more then "something anyone can put together in the garage".
