Looks like an Ariel Atom with a body kit, not very original or impressive

dude, what? You saying you wouldn't love to drive something like this on a nice day down Route 1? Atom is the real deal though - that's a fact, but I like the KTM X-Bow much more

Oh no, the Ariel Atom is a badass car. Any car with THAT power/weight ratio like the Atom is a F****** BEAST!!!!!

Too bad you can't register them for road use in the States - not Atom, not X-bow

That is not exactly true, there are several road legal here in Cali. They can be had but with the cost of the car and the cost to get it street legal they end up in the $80-90K range, a far cry from their humble 20k (UK) beginnings

You said it, not too many people will pay that kind of dough for something this far from practical, and in the case of Ariel Atom, pretty far from pretty but that is as close as you can get to a bike with no less than four wheels.
