you can't. not street legal in US or Canada. You can in Europe though, and some people do drive them on the road. I actually thought about getting one as a track toy, but not being street legal and a very hefty 70k purchase price quickly made me look elsewhere.

pretty easy to register as a kit car, at least in the states.

Yep, we have a guy that drives his Atom around all over the place here.

That would make it even crazier to do

I thought they were more like $40k. There's one for sale on eBay for like $50k.

Also you can actually have a track session with an ariel atom at VIR. It's like $500 for 3 x 15 minute sessions on the short course or $1600 4 x 20 minute sessions on the long course. Very tempting, I would MUCH rather do this than get an oil cooler and track my car. Though with an oil cooler I can go to multiple track days.

Pfft 0 lb/hp or bust. Light speed!

Base price is $49k for an aerial atom, that is bare bones with a 4 banger honda motor (forget which one).

Oh so they went with some POS.

Just went to the website, looks like they have a V8 Atom now also, not sure I would want to drive that one.

I agree, but would scare the piss out of me on the first launch.

It has a 1.1 sec lead on top of the Top Gear Power Lap Board if that means anything. That thing is just insane, close to a street legal race car.

trollol

suffice to say, if they had dropped the k20 in the s2k to follow the f20, I'd still be in an S. And we've all see what can be done with the F.

Especially when you just use eTunes, car is perfect. Just spend a couple years doing research before hand to make sure you get everything you want.
