This is my kind of car...even though I think it has shit handling(lack of downforce) it'll still be soooo much fun to drive.

Ariel is also releasing it's Atom500 which is going to weigh 500kg and have 500bhp V8...for around 50k british pounds. oooo yeah

Lotus 7's are pretty Good Handling Car, they are up the with Ariel Atom.
No one has ever put a Real Powerful Engine in them, Most use Toyota 20V Or Honda VTEC Engines.

So are all supercars...

Hmmmm, don't know about this one BW....

I'm sure there are people out there who would love it, but not the sort of thing I'd go for or want...

It does have some impressive performance numbers, a very high power/weight ratio can do some wonderful things

[bornwild]

hehe I wouldn't buy it....Caterhams are no good for handling. I'd get the ariel atom though...that's gonna be a gun.

Last time i checked lamborghini's have a roof, and 90% of the audi A8 internal gadgetry(climate control/satnav/sound/adjustuble suspension/leather trim/real dash)...and the GTR has all that as well.

i would take an atom over this any day, but its only half a car as well.


Buy a new 'blade for less than 20k and beat the pants off almost every car on the road anyway...and its less than half a car
