    I'd rather have an Ariel Atom for a few hundred thousand less.

    @nutbastard ('Zune' is Canadian for 'iPod'): Agreed.


    And if I want something close-topped, there's always the upcoming Caparo Freestream car, designed by McLaren's former engineers. My goodness is it lovely.

    the Ariel Atom bested the toyota f1 car around top gears track, it's like, fuck, enough said! where do i bring my firstborn child, and does it matter if it's in slightly used condition?

    That's an awesome car but I wouldn't exactly say that 500k for a 3.6 0-60 is a good value. The Corvette ZR1 pulls a 3.3 0-60 and a 1/4 mile of 11.2 secs for a paltry 100k.

    Looks like the designer took some cues from mid 90s Hotwheels for inspiration. And I am not saying that is a bad thing.

    All the expertise here and no one has mentioned the crit setup of the frame? Steep head tube angle, no rake fork, split seat post with the rear tire pulled forward. This will corner like anything, but a mouse fart at 50 yards will blow you off course. Absolutely no easy stability for a long road ride.


    That being said, I can see a lot of these being sold to top pro teams as training tools - anything to gather a bit of an edge. A second off every mile really adds up at the end of The Tour, or any tour.

    I've been waiting for better disk brakes. My friend warped his on his first use, I hoped ceramic or carbon/carbon brakes would replace the steel ones.

    7kg? Does this company know that weight is EVERYTHING? It's the number on which you base the quality of the bike.

    I don't know about bikes, but it's certainly the number on which I base the quality of a potential date.

    Wait wait wait....so you're telling me that Formula 1 cars are getting powerups?


    Doesn't that make it more like F-Zero? They need to find a way to charge the batteries by traveling down a special lane on a straightaway...

    I glad they added this to F1, I forget but another car race used boost and I admit it was much more fun. (Lemans? )

    @br4nd0n: I'm pretty sure that F2 or F3 has used a generic "Boost" previously (not at all like what is being discussed here), it was which ever series is based on the Nationality of the team...


    I believe the boost they used was either a timed de-restriction mechanism or a timed increase in forced induction pressure or something... I doubt it was NOS, and I'm sure it wasn't anything like KERS.
