FOR A BOSS

[SIRIUS386]

日本でもマニアな人がF３マシンを公道走行可能にして車検もとっ­たマシンが以前TVで出ていましたねフロントタイヤに泥除けつい­ていたけどヘッドランプもウインカーも装備して東名高速をかっ飛­ばしていましたね。

[udatti1]

ふざけてていいな　寒そうw

サイドミラーが写るたびにその小ささに笑ってしまう



[rsk3110]

右ハンドルなんだな。。。

[COOOLYT]

加速がもはやﾊﾞｲｸですな

[CarCriticDSK]

このアトム V8のエンジンは、ケーターハムのRST-V8をベースに開発さ­れた3.0L、V8エンジンです。2.0L版のアトムは、ホンダ­のK20A型i-VTECエンジンを搭載し、4種類の仕様があり­ます。 一度は乗ってみたいですね。

[doimonngi]

燃費ｗｗｗｗｗ



[MrTomihide]

今の時代のスーパーセブンｗ

日本でも乗ってみたいｗ

[Kishio022]

すごく・・・乗ってみたいです・・・

[atsukoandtomatolove]

すごいな

[trademonster777]

なんかミニ四駆みたいな見た目だけどカートみたいな運転できそう­で楽しそう

[sprrd007]

売れるのかな・・・

[FLAT1963]

F1というより、新世紀GPXサイバーフォーミュラのスーパーア­スラーダを思い出しました。好きです。

[shingoworld1]

(∂∂?)ナゼ?

まさか、ホンダだからとか言わないで下さいよ。(；・∀・)

[kyouSK]

コレを買う前に　ホンダ・ビート　買ってみな！

[seorz250]

@kyouSK　金の無駄遣いをしたって泣いてしまうね！

[imalazysod777]

I wanna drive it. :)

[notallinUSAf1dumb]

30 year old f1 car now available at your local dealer!!!

[DoubleYouPee1]

"there's nothing like it on the planet" ..

Dear mr autocar, how bout you try a fast bike?

[almighty151986]

@DoubleYouPee1 Bit easier to get the full performance from a car compared to a bike, Not everyone has the sheer arm strength and skill to keep extreme super bikes planted during full acceleration, It's much easier in a car.

[pun1978isher]

Add twin turbo as well as some wings...

and you will also have your very own Airline plane. Might need to pack light, as I imagine the luggage space is small.

[joesvista]

this man has placed a dead rat under the neck. uhm... i' don't understand why...

[stypkata85]

carting



[Warrantti]

It would even faster and handle better with just one seat.

[qwer55555555]

that car is juuust amazing

[jstewart627]

Good video, more real without all the distraction of Top Gear. It is ok to say that it was rough as hell and you cannot see yourself enjoying it for long, or are you only allowed to speak positive about it by contract agreement.

[jstewart627]

Used to think it was cool; vibration destroys the body. Just look at how much he rattled around. super car needs mass to handle the shock of modern roads, or else I can see my brain blood vessel bursting with time.

[PoorIllyrian]

does they buy engine from other compay like bmw M or mercedes AMG ?? or they have their own v8 engine

[xBREMB0x]

@PoorIllyrian The v8 is made from two suzuki hayabusa motors fused together.

[initialmoe]

@xBREMB0x wouldn't that make it an inline 8 since the Hayabusa has a 1300cc inline 4 cylinder motor?

[xBREMB0x]

@initialmoe No, the two hayabusa motors are fussed together at a 90 degree angle creating a v8.

[initialmoe]

@xBREMB0x wow, thanks for the knowledge man. :) Its always great to learn more.

[gixxerboy555]

Next time...use the GoPro2 please...nice car btw..

[SBfanXIV]

I think you'd die if you go flat out and a bug hits you in the face...

[xxenos1110]

@chaanee your a dumbass there not registered sold or advertised as cars you are an idiot the sooner you come to terms the sooner you can get a grip on reality. good luck.

[HoneyReno]

dang man, TWO windshields

[Chaanee]

@TheSSpeed There are cars with 3 wheels. Not neccessarily COMBUSTION engine. ffs just stop writing. It's a roadster.

[LawrenceLugar500]

This review definitely Ain't no Top Gear.

[Snaffle]

is that a mouse on his shirt? :P

sick car!

[ferd9191]

wait, what's the point of having a clutch peddle if it's all pneumatic?

[britishballa95]

@ferd9191 what do you think you do when you stop?

[MeowSysTheCat]

This guys voice would be great for telling a night time story for kids. =)

[Zagato8D]

this will crush a zr1 or a GTR

[SVTraptor99]

can anyone imagine a caterham with a nissan GTR R35 engine it probably wouldnt fit but imagine how quick that would be

[JeepJKRiders]

The 4 cyl. Ariel Atom is street legal.

[mrzomg99]

this bloke has the incredible ability to make one of the craziest and most interesting cars sound boring

[Mishomtp]

wow! thats the biggest windshield ive ever seen!! O.o

[UnknownStoner420]

@Mishomtp lol yur going so fast if a rock doesnt hit the little windshield lol it wont hit u

[krumpinSamoan]

the v8 is still a honda motor. 2 honda CBR heads on custom block.

[crazy7lover]

@krumpinSamoan the ariel atom has a vtec engine, the v8 has two hayabusa heads from suzuki, not honda

[krumpinSamoan]

@crazy7lover they are CBR heads bru. honda.

[MrBakerfield]

it s not confortable ? no ?? so long yyour arms !

[ZacharyPagan]

so basically it could be the best car if you pull a go kart move and add some dead weights to the front of it haha

[pcbb01]

i dont understand why this is not street legal,if motorbikes can be streetlegal, why cant this f1-like cars dont?

[banddude121]

@pcbb01 It is street legal

[pen6816]

@banddude121

yes

[banddude121]

@pen6816 I was answering your statement not asking.

[jerry77454]

selingkuh by jerry pokai

[waxmax117]

dead mouse on his shirt?

[K20civicsirturbo]

this is not street legal so its not a car point blank

[everyday602430]

@K20civicsirturbo it is street legal

[K20civicsirturbo]

@everyday602430 where? 

[gondiamond]

@K20civicsirturbo Here in on the west coast of the US

[K20civicsirturbo]

@gondiamond that doesnt count because you guys get everything over there lol

[DJCrateapa]

@K20civicsirturbo It's legal everywhere except for Australia last I heard.

[THEeveryLASTinitial]

I feel like i want to watch people race this model car instead of the more conventional types out there. Hell, if i owned one that's what i would try doing at a local track >_>

[qpalzmqm]

And Ariel Atom said: "F.U Bugatti, you amateurs!"

[DjUndying1]

how much?

[pachelbel159]

All you guys saying how fast this car is. i think thats because it;s lightweight.

[abolisher2041]

@pachelbel159 thats the point, you can have all the horse power in the world but if its heavy as a tank it wont make much difference.

[mustang4sho]

winshield took alot of time to build i bet lol...wtf

[ASSHOLELA]

the caparo t1 race extreme can get to 125mph in the same time as the ariel atom v8 gets to 100mph.

[MrAMColes]

@ASSHOLELA But this car won't explode

[Liist]

@ASSHOLELA

It's also notorious for setting you on fire.

[ASSHOLELA]

@Liist

that was a production prototype that was on fire. After 2007, all the caparo t1 vids do not have any more accidents. That was because it was the production version.

[mustang2005]

it sounds like a motorcycle rather than a v8 imo

[MrHellomotoman1337]

This car is great to buy, if you want to commit suicide.

[saboobuu]

Leave it to Honda to make such an awesome car!!!

[frackcha]

@saboobuu Honda?? this car is made by Ariel, not honda.

[saboobuu]

@frackcha The engine is a honda engine



[frackcha]

@saboobuu no, no its not, on the atom 300 there is a supercharged Honda engine, this version has a custom V8 block with 2 Busa heads.

[saboobuu]

@frackcha that i4 is naturally aspirated, not supercharged, to make 270 bhp

[frackcha]

@saboobuu *according to the manufacturers website* naturally aspirated the v-tec used in the atom 3 makes 245 bhp at 8200rpm. but this video (and your comment) is not about the atom 3, its about the atom 500.

[juancho939]

i´d buy this car if it had a 200mph top speed....

[BuffaloWarrior7]

@juancho939 When do you need to go faster than 160mph?

[juancho939]

@BuffaloWarrior7 when you have a car that accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 SV...that´s when

[TomMarsonSB]

@juancho939 If you could acctualy buy this car you would, why does it have to have a top end of 200mph when you can't go that fast on the road and i doubt you would drive that fast on a track.

[juancho939]

@TomMarsonSB It´s not that actual top speed that matters...it´s the standard of the car that makes it important....this car gets to 60mph about the same as a Bugatti Veyron....that makes the Atom 500 a supercar. And in the insane world of supercars 200 mhp is a requirement...beyond 220 mhp is a hypercar.

oooo and the road thing......the brand publishes that so they can say it is faster thn most cars.

[ImAman555]

acura rims whats good lol

[dpain0]

Imagine getting in a wreck...instant death.

[rallyman124]

The funniest part of this video was when I realised this car was street legal.

[mwtgunn]

If I have money i wouldn't buy this car, lol first of all it doesn't look that safe to me! lol even though it's pretty fast! Also It doens't look cool enough!

[mrchristian87]

looks like a hot wheels!

[ATSoldier]

that guy in the video is so gay! >_<

[xmodrock]

FINALLY found a real atom

[PUNKYMEFISTO]

Nice go-kart dude

[TheClassifiedMan]

watch?v=61t1ygUUjZ8&feature=re­lated

[blizzfool]

on a track like this, of course this thing would beat a veyron. veyron's are outrageous on straightaways, but on a tight turn track like this, it couldn't stand up to the handling in this thing.

[sgknexmaker]

@Chaanee so the ones without roofs aren't cars? Your being stupid. Just because there isn't a roof, doesn't mean it isn't a car. Stop trying to act smart and get over yourself.

[Chaanee]

@sgknexmaker What meaningless blabbering you're coming with.

[sgknexmaker]

@Chaanee Lmao.. A convertible is a car = No roof and it's a car. So, I'm done replying to you, as you are simply a troll who obviously has no better thing to do as he has been proven wrong, and is trying to brush it off.

Here's the definition of a car, as you obviously have no knowledge of anything about this subject.

Car- A road vehicle, typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine and able to carry a small number of people. Wheres the part about the roof? Exactly. Bye.

[JANNOSPR]

@sgknexmaker Technically a convertible is a car with a detachable or folding roof.

[TheWolfram23]

It just needs a louder exhaust lol

[FirebirdFormula913]

it's like a go-cart on steroids and a veyron killer :D

[dalton2621]

tdu2!!!

[MacGyver920]

The Stig's helmet is waaaaaay more epic!

[jerusdc]

Dont get too excited lol

[naser123123ify]

oooooooooooo he was the one taking

[TimpBizkit]

You could have an even faster version with 4 Hayabusa Turbo motors in it.. Now you're talking!!

[roversnolan1]

@TimpBizkit Would be great but try getting that power down on the road with spinning the wheels on the spot

[JESUS4R3AL]

HA HA HA !!! I LIKE THE WINDSHILD.

[DanKam92]

@JESUS4R3AL it really works, james may's face wasn't being torn off when rode it.

[mindyzachbaubles]

hes too scared a power

[noodliepoodlie]

dear santa...

[reubentg]

holy shit this guy is so boring

[dazz14gooner]

The mans voice made me sleepy.

[yazpaul]

This car is very beautiful xD

[Hypercar1]

This is the future of facial operations!!!

[ATVracerATV]

Trackmania nations IRL

[shellcool0wns]

@ATVracerATV I lol'ed

[thnk4urself]

who cares if it can beat a veyron on the tightest tracks, it's a glorified kit cars. an ultima gtr can mop the floor with it but no one mentions that why? because it's a kit car. you can't just create a car company based on one car and say "hey, this is a production car! no, really, we're serious" not mention, other than a couple track days, the atom is totally useless

[GraveUypo]

@thnk4urself yeah. this car is completely useless. unlike the ultima gtr and veyron. everyone drives their ultima GTR and veyron to work and back everyday and such, and you can't do that with this "toy".

come on.

[thnk4urself]

@GraveUypo don't be rediculous. the veyron is equippped with almost everything, the atom has nothing. if you really think no one would drive it to work, then you clearly don't the people who could actually afford it. either way, if you want it to, it still serves many more purposes than the atom. they're both ovver priced and there's no reason to buy the atom. the ultima is faster for less than half the price even if you have it built for you

[OhHeyThereGuy]

Fastest production car?

*cough* Caparo T1 *cough*

[1ronManGR]

@TheMainMan318 yeah i agree with you..he doesn't sound at all like the guy from Top Gear

[jshaw6600]

Why'd they put the master power key (the red plastic key) right on top of the car in front of the driver? Aren't they worried about aerodynamics?

[MyRandomLife247]

This is chuck norris' car....

[Dallastown18]

@MyRandomLife247 yeah well fuck chuck norris. If bruce lee was still alive he would kick norriss ass, oh wait he did in a movie

[MyRandomLife247]

@Dallastown18 Don't kill it you ass.....

[superandy456]

I wonder what the NCAP rating is..

[guyon2342]

@superandy456 they've had to introduce negative NCAP ratings just for this car

[Borkybn]

@guyon2342 if i could afford one of these, i don't give a shit about NCAP! I don't buy a car to smash it on a wall, i buy it for driving, possibly on a track

[guyon2342]

@Borkybn lol i know, i was just joking about the ncap rating :P

[Alberthcore]

top gear is better

[BigEyeGreedy]

I love the windshield!

[danthefireman007]

wait so when do you ever use the clutch then, if your not using it up up shifting or down shifting

[dodoz44]

@danthefireman007

for launching or perhaps if you drive it on the streets, u might not wanna shift so aggressively all the time.

[TheMainMan318]

why does this guy sound so bored? you have a 500 hp rocket car infront of you, scream! go crazy! be happy!

[templarjay]

no he meant the Burgeronionring

[KingNuada86]

@templarjay You have no idea how much i wish that was the actual name. 

[youraveragemat]

Its formula 1. on road formula 1. mommy I want one.

[FelixDeSouza1]

...a little less conversation a little more action please!!!

[vxdgsehdzugfyu]

@lucarioguy111 then u get around 450hp i think

[YSKWeXclusive]

i like the T Rex Campagna better

[FehrMorales]

He is so calm I'm disturbed =S

[filoufilsmoker]

lol at the windshield

1:00

[MrSoup4u]

@filoufilsmoker That small piece of polycarbonate glass is buffering the wind away from your eyes. It does serve a purpose.

[filoufilsmoker]

@MrSoup4u

never said it wasnt

I said lol at the windshield

[mrpennythought]

looks like a glorified gokart... whats the pricetag on this?

[Q4Rspwn]

I thought the guy was going to cry in the beginning of the video..

[tartarsaucin]

thats street legal?

[pietromigliati]

hahihu the power

[zandolee121]

what is a neumatically controlled transmission????

[equitium]

@zandolee121 The clutch is pneumatic, controlled by paddle shifters..

[Mastertim2006]

this windshields size.. is just.. awesome :D

[behangman]

This guy is a huge idiot, he talks like James May

[78888888888888888887]

0 - 100 / 2,9 sec :D

[slobhinav]

Can someone buy me one of these?

I'll buy them a case of 200 year old Scotch (:

[Khazar01]

Looking for a sponzor to buy me one of these :)

[matt25675]

i'm diggin that windshield



[buttnut1080]

I think it could use some work but it sounds great as it is.
