Not rc........but behold: the Ariel Atom

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...3&q=ariel+atom
Vid clip from one of my favorite car shows ever, the Brits' "Top Gear" and my new dream car: the Ariel Atom. Doesn't matter whether you like the 2.0L Honda powerplant or not, they supercharge it to 300hp and dump it in a 1000 pound two seater........flat out amazing power to weight ratio, to say the least. A 2.8 second trot to 60 isn't that bad either! :cool:

Now how much would it be to get one to my door? :D

i want one :eek: :eek: :eek: but there is know room for rc in it:frown:

It might fit in an envelope..

It indeed is a nice piece of engineering, we had an idea like that, but only use a hayabusa engine, with a huge turbo, it could easily do 400 bhp, on about half the weight of the honda engine, which is used in this.

Only dislike, is the way your face looks when your flying by on stopspeed.. Hilarious.. It might use a windshield.. :p

The ariel atom 300 does 0-100-0 in about 10 seconds!!

Check out this video. This is a Dax Rush equiped with a turbocharged hayabusa engine. About 380bhp in a car weighing less than 500kg.

That little spot on the horizon.. was that a donkervoort? LOL

that is the car you want... it's got the actual shape of a car..

it would definately be nice but i would rather have something with a roof and a windshield to keep bugs out and to keep from getting windburnt

The turbo's in that thing must be the size of yet turbines! Imagine the lag must be pretty woeful.

Providing it gets enough grip I would say 0-60 in 2 secs and 0-100 in about 4. crazy!

[nbcaznmaster]

haha, thats why u download. If ur a computer nerd, that is.

i want that ultima. Wonder how much it cost.

A stock ultima is £55,000, and comes with a 6.3l chevvy V8 thumping out 640bhp (althougth there is a 680bhp version). The older version puts out about 520bhp. Check http://www.ultimacars.com/. The 1000bhp conversion is probly in the region of an extra £100k (just a guess)
