Outside the factory on collection.
Looking forward to running this little monster in!
I am calling him Vader.

Introducing Vader. The turbo Atom.
- Thread starter OCPete
- Start date
The engine is the same unit as per the current Honda Civic Type R. 2ltr intercooled turbo 320BHP
I have been waiting 2 years for it so the timeline is not really under my control.
I have another supercharged Atom (hopefully now sold) so I am confident i'll keep this on the black stuff.

It is a 3rd car just for dry warmish weekend runs, shows, and as a track day weapon. It is a rewarding challenge for me to reach towards its stellar capabilities on track. If your up to it as a driver it is right up there with the best exotica or race cars.
It is also hilarious and brilliant to drive a car with such grip, handling finesse, and monumental power to weight ratio on the road. It makes me grin like a child every time i drive it.
Just arranged for the factory 350 BHP upgrade at first service time.
Should be circa 600BHP/ tonne.

320 + 350 = 670BHP
350 total!
A little bird tells me there is going to be a 400BHP "Atom 4R" next year with a sequential gearbox. Might be a tad "brisk".
