Default Ariel Atom Type R Supercharged Super Fast

check this little car out... There is a link in the bottom right hand corner to watch the video from top gear for it... it rates at 600 bhp/ton (higher than a Ferrari Enzo's Ratio) and is WICKED fast....

I forgot to mention.... they sell for about $45,000.00 in the US right now... They are more affordable than most sports cars!

ok, one, its not a car, its an oversized over powered gocart and its not street legal ^_- second it only weights a ton, you put only 200hp on something that light of course its going to be fast. You might as well drop an f23 with an h23 head and do all the work on it, have the body extended a foot and you will have even more n/a power then that civic engine and it will be just as fast without a supercharger on it. but once again, over powered gocart

I saw one of those just the other day here in the UK. It was on a motorway in the rain. It looked the dogs but he/she was probably getting wet but having a good time doing it

Yeah it's an oversized go-cart but it is street legal... at least in the UK. I'm pretty sure the company putting them out in the US is making them street legal as well....

A motorcycle is just a go-cart with two wheels...
