yeap thats the car
if you wanna see one movin try findin a copy of the final episode of last years Top Gear
all i can say is, AMAZING....
Jeremy Clarkson was astounded to say the least, the acceleration was mind blowing and its quicker around a track than the top of the line 911 porche(and at about 1/10'th the price)

after watchin the review I wished i lived in the UK(though you can import one of those, nerdily i checked the revs list to see if it was available for import ;) )

ahhaahh,
I was out spotlighting for foxes last night at Mingay.
Now I can imagine this vehicle doing some circle work around the paddocks all right, chasing foxes.

the Ariel Atom is an awesome car.. i think your all still thinking its just a beach buggy :P it has a supercharged civic engine that pumps out 300hp, and because it weighs around a tonne, thats ~600hp/tonne which is more than the ferrari enzo... which is the car on the very top of the top gear laps times board. the only problem with the car was that it got quite a bit of understeer at times becos of the simple suspension setup at the front, and all the weight at the rear. its a very very very fast road car 8)
