After you get the first rock in your eye driving this down the road, tell me how nice they are? Why would anyone want to ride in something so uncomfortable.
Lets look at it for what it is - a relatively cheap (£14k for a bike engined or £20k for an Impreza engined) kit car - which - after having seen one this weekend, is very nicely prepped and assembled. The bike engined one weighs around 550kgs.. so add maybe 100kg for the Scoob engine. Thats an easy 500bhp per metric ton and would easily embarrass most £150k+ supercars. Practicality?.. who cares? go buy a diesel Ford Focus dullards...
so what if it can seat 3. because its so light when you get 3 people in it will dramatically reduce its power-to-weight ratio along with its handling.
I think it's neat because it lets me sit in the center while retaining passenger capabilities... but I agree that the car would drastically change with 3 people in it.
how would you feel to be in a vstorm when a real ariel atom passes by :)) ?

this car is fantastic ,the power ,performance ,is amazing
i have been out on a test drive and the power is simply mind blowing
compared to a subaru evo or even porsche ferrari this car is truly in a different league looks performace
all parts are top quality no shortcuts and
this car gets attention
its a unique car with 3 seats
these are some of the things this offers
and a great aftersales
superb

would still take the Atom (greatest car ever in my opinion) over the V-strom. Would use that as a family car

aren't all of these types of cars just derivatives of the old lotus 7 ?? lol

no, the atom has seen to that

Lotus seven has a different platform (F-R) and this one is (M-R)
so nothing to do, sorry.

that seat layout is from the tramontana R ... that design is from the Ariel Atom ... in the end, is not a very original car ..
