Outside the factory on collection.

Looking forward to running this little monster in!

I am calling him Vader. :cool:

MissChief · 12 Sep 2019 at 13:19

Vader should have been black frame too but will no doubt be very fast. Keep the thread up to date!

Exhaust looks very bamphy bocky

Dominic-Toretto · 12 Sep 2019 at 13:23

Woah, that is beautiful!

Mike9000 · 12 Sep 2019 at 13:28

Great, looks like a lot of fun. I was taken out in one of the early K20 ones of these by some kind guy who lived by Trentham Gardens back in something like 2006. Loved every second and so quick!!

Enjoy!

Love it. Very jealous.

Uncle_Gravy · 12 Sep 2019 at 14:31

So jealous, What engine are they throwing in them these days?

something daft already!! · 12 Sep 2019 at 14:37

Nice number plate lol

ci_newman · 12 Sep 2019 at 14:54

At ~ 600bhp/tonne and ~ 3secs 0-60... you're going to bin it, fast

Who buys a car like that in the autumn / winter

Dyson · 12 Sep 2019 at 14:57

Very nice! Where do you have to mount the front number plate? Where ever it goes, it'll ruin it

godinman · 12 Sep 2019 at 15:11

That is a ridiculous machine, can't wait for some videos!

Cleisthenes · 12 Sep 2019 at 15:12

Ridiculous, in the very best way

Would love one of these one day.

Enjoy

NVP · 12 Sep 2019 at 15:58

Brand new? Are they going to repair that scuff?

OCPete · 12 Sep 2019 at 16:34

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.

Temujin · 12 Sep 2019 at 16:37

Beautiful, videos please!

Dis86 · 12 Sep 2019 at 16:44

Quicker than a veyron. Brilliant.

rodenal · 12 Sep 2019 at 17:11

One of the most frightening motoring experiences I've ever had came in an Atom, love them

phatboy · 13 Sep 2019 at 00:31

that is amazing! didn't know that they were using the new Type-R lump in them these days

As per the above one of the mind bending car experiences I have ever had is being launched around the ProDrive test track as a passenger in the supercharged version

Unbelievable cars

MrKnifey · 13 Sep 2019 at 07:09

Amazing

IvanDobskey · 13 Sep 2019 at 07:50

Wow, that thing is insane :eek:

Reckon a gunmetal or silver frame would have looked better than white though.

Shame winter is on its way
