I have seen the vehicle before, but never saw those photos of all of the parts that make up this vehicle. Very nice.

HOLY ****

its like honda making a V8 for the s2k

JessePS

Its like 625 hp / ton *gulp*

Honestly thats like a F1 car on the road.

If this thing came with a DSG or some sort of semi-auto gearbox god only knows how fast this thing would go, also with AWD.

It could do like 2.1 - 2.4 seconds (0 - 96 km/h)

good luck getting that frame to handle that much torque, props for effort

I'm sure the chassis will be able to handle the torque perfectly fine. That v8 only produces a peak torque of 210ftlb. Ariel already offers a 2.0L GM Ecotec supercharged engine that makes 250ftlb of torque

1200 lbs and 375 hp sounds good. Not as nice as 135 kg and 200 hp though. That's where F1 two stroke bikes were when they changed the rules and went four stroke. I know really well what 300 kg (includes rider weight) and 145 hp feels like. It accelerates really nicely.

Somehow I expect the Atom will feel marvelous with that power until aerodynamics make it not fun anymore. That's where the F1 car stomps anything on wheels.

That guy is so cool!!
He thinks of a lot of crazy automotive projects and then just makes it a reality.

nothing some extra mods cant fix



even though an F1 bike can out accelerate the Atom, Atom can out handle and out brake a bike easily

I think it might mess up the balance of it. a V8 weighs a whole hell of a lot more than an I-4 from a civic...

The link above said the new 2.8L V8 weighs 100lbs less than the original 4cyl engine that came with the atom.

It's a custom engine basically.
