honda motor + supercharger + no weight= badass.

This Top Gear was on a year or so ago... I'd probably still take an Elise... it's quick enough and feels enough like a real car.

If I had huge money though, that would be a neat toy car.

i'd drive it

the only motors available in the atom now from the factory in the US is GM ecotech motors, a 2.2l, and 4 versions of the 2.0l supercharged motor from 205hp to 300. prices start at 33,299 for the 140hp 2.2l motor but after selecting the basic wheels and tires and the self-assembly kit, it comes to $36,863.85. the one I want comes to $48,970.
