It is frankly hillariously quick. The top end is bonkers. 500+BHP/ tonne!
Get yourself in the BHP/tonne thread!!

I'm guessing the clio is the winter car and the atom a summer car - though I would applaud anyone who goes christmass shopping in the snow in a Atom.
Clio is ok - wrong colour though but thats a personal view from me - Liqud Yellow would be my choice with the optional and rare black wheels - though I'm not sure if they were offical or just forum BS I read.

Thought as much - though I'm not into french cars so I don't know what is right or wrong
MPG is terrible, plus small tank!

Thought the MPG wasn't too bad in these with it only weighing so much.
Unless you're obviously on it everywhere all the time
Chatting to one of the owners I know think he got 40mpg on a run. Supercharged Atom 2 also but it's been fettled a bit.
What keeps it on the tarmac? Hope?
Sticky track day rubber and driving ability. There are no driver aids at all. I like the fact that is all down to me. There is a LOT to do at high speed on track. Thats the fun of it. Things happen fast both good and bad, and you have to be on the ball and thinking ahead. Its a challenge, and a huge buzz.

I wouldn't expect driver aids, but one thing i've always wondered on these is that i assume it has enough downforce and the tyres and low centre of mavity ensure there's enough grip and no lift. Because with the power/weight ratio, i would expect some sort of aero.
IfTo give you an idea when i took someone out on track (both wearing helmets) he said he initially though i was a mentalist screaming at him every time i accelerated!![]()
