That thing is INSANE (weighs 1100 ish lbs) It was built by the same designer of cars made by lotus and such.
Haha, yeah I've seen the Atom on both Top Gear and 5th Gear (Two UK based shows).

I believe it utilizes a Honda B18C fitted with a supercharger. It is REDICULOUSLY fast. They did a track run with it and destroyed a CBR 600RR Motorcycle. To those who say oh u can do the same thing with a shelled out track only car... Sure but why would you want to? The Atom just seems like so much fun, you have this crazy F1 style intake right behind your head sucking your hair back. The car is extremely well poised and looks fantastic with very minimal crap to be of annoyance. If I was an older chap I'd pick one up instead of a vette, the new granny mobile. *puts on heat shield*
