Open-wheeled cars with a decent power/weight ratio will tend to be faster than bikes. Traction is the key.

An Ariel Atom would be a nice addition to the garage.

"It's sucking my brains out"

Damn, if I just had money sitting around, I'd get one. Just because it's something totally different and pretty damn cool as well.

However, I'm not sure if that rider was riding the bike to it's full potential in the turns...at least it didn't look like it for the first turn.

I say we'll send Josh over there for a retest and really see if the car beats the bike again.

The Atom starts from around $64,500* on the road for a 160 BHP Atom - a car with a higher power-to-weight ratio than a Porsche 911 Turbo. Outputs of 220, 245 and 275 BHP are also available, ensuring that there is a price/performance match to suit your needs and budget. The quickest Atom starts from around $94,900 including 300 BHP of supercharged Honda power, top spec brakes and a host of options.
