RPMS Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Sorry if this has been posted before, but with the new board I can't tell if it's old news. I thought it was cool, and y'all might be interested. http://www.arielmotor.co.uk/ Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2126 Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Very interesting car! I think I would be concerned about the lack of protection below the bottom frame rail...it looks like the only thing protecting your bottom (butt) is the floor pan assy. OK, it might be a CF piece, substancial enough for impact protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaparral2f Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I had one of their motorcycles (Square 4) when I was younger. It was the smoothest thing I ever rode, and had a sound that was like nothing else. If the engineering is as good on the car as it was on the bike, it should easily be worth the money.

ZROSSA Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Had my brother in law stay over new years. One of his good friends is a driving instructer and racer in the local gt3 series. Anyway he gets to drive a lot of cool cars when training people and does a lot of work on scaring the local media when something fun is imported and needs some advertising. To cut out the boring bit the in law was able to drive the atom back from Pukekohe race track back to auckland. About a 50 min drive. He said it was the fastest thing he had driven and it felt like his fford on the road. Also said that he couldnt wear a helment because it was getting ripped back buy the wind so he had to wear sunnies and continue to pick bugs out of his eyes. On normal roads it aparently is very difficult to keep in a straight line do to bumps and tram lining. Think I will stick with the zed.
