Seriously, I want one of these, absolutely insane.
Ah yes, the Atom.
Great little car - they had one at the motor show in London this year at the Top Gear stand.
TWO magazine (UK) had that, a Veyron and a raft of other cars up against a GSXR1000. Only the Atom and Veyron could beat the bike (the Veyron by fractions of a second mind…)
0-100-0 time is what boggles the mind.
The US site is: http://www.arielatom.com/
BTW… these things are cheap. (for what they are)
WOW THAT THING IS AMAZING.
Fuck the speed, give me the handling!
Damn, that’s awesome. I’d buy one if I could get one here, of course, we can’t 
Check this new one out…

Looks like Godzilla ate a McLaren F1 and a Saleen S7 and shit this thing out. Wicked.
Suuuhhwhheat! Beating the bike was amazing. I’ve never heard of anything pulling that off. Reminds me of a giant go-kart though.

Ohhhh come on Prof, face it that the car is faster. 
That is a sweet car and so light and quick, could easily beat a bike. Not to be annoying, but the title says less than 2 seconds and it is really less than 3 seconds, it does 0-60 in 2.9 secs, at least the one they were testing. I don’t even know if Formula One cars can do less than 2 secs.

yes. i was impressed but i’d be really impressed if they beat a gsx1000. that rider didn’t look so fast either.
But you gotta think about the cars that are beating everyday stock ?8K road bikes.
I’d like to see those expensive cars go up against a $250,000 gp bike.
Oh, and before I forget:
The Veyron does 1/4 mile in 10.1.
The Y2K does 1/4 mile in 9.8 - still miles cheaper (ok its got a helicopter engine, so what its road legal).

I loved Clarkson’s face when he drove the Atom. His cheeks were flapping around his ears while he grinned and laughed like a insane gimp. Amazing car.

You should be able to find a clip for the episode where the Stig crashes a Koeneggzzegg (or however you spell it)
