I would love to have this car! Base price is $37,348.85 with a GM Ecotec 2.2 Liter 140hp 150ft/lbs (Engine used for the track tests: Honda VTEC 2.0 Liter 300hp 163ft/lbs Supercharged). Race package with the Honda 300hp engine costs $84,147.00

World's Quickest Car?
Take a look at the photo and guess which car will not only accelerate to 100mph the fastest but then stop again to zero the quickest. Two Aston Martins, a Porsche, 2 TVR's a Ford GT with 550bhp, a Dodge SRT-10 with 500bhp, a full race Caterham CSR... traction controls, anti lock brakes... Yes it's official the 2005 quickest car 0 -100 - 0mph is the Ariel Atom in 10.88 seconds.

Using a standard fully road legal Atom 2 300 supercharged Ariel have won this year's Autocar 0-100-0 challenge. With datalogged times done in two directions by the same Autocar test drivers the Atom scorched to 100mph in 6.86 seconds and then stopped from 100mph in 3.8 seconds.

In a seperate test to win the Sunday Times fastest car to 60mph the Atom spanked the opposition with a blistering 2.91 second average making it the world's fastest accelerating production car available today.

Theres a really good Top Gear segment on the Atom if you can find it.

I can't imagine how that could be street legal. You'd be fucked in a crash

Motorcycles also require a special license to drive.

To see videos of this car go to the site and click on showroom and then videos. There is one from Top Gear and Fifth Gear.

I heard that the Iroc Convertible is a pretty sweet ride.
