In the time it takes you to read these first 12 words, the cars in our test would’ve surpassed the pace of a mile a minute—60 mph—from a dead stop.
Check your watch now, and they’re well beyond 100 mph and fading fast from view. Granted, if you strapped a rocket to a grocery cart, you might be able to achieve a similar effect, but these are real, live production cars that real, live (lucky) people can drive on regular roads…legally.

Does the Ariel Atom count as a production car?

QUOTE (cobas @ Sep 22 2011, 08:50 AM)  Does the Ariel Atom count as a production car? In the hearts and minds of many, yes... but I'm pretty sure it isn't street legal on this side of the pond. That V8 is a wicked little beast, isn't it? -------------------- |

The Ariel Atom is legal, I've seen it on the streets. However, it may have some special designation, because I doubt it would pass the NHTSA's tests.

My son and I raced our Bugatti Veyron last year and did not do as well as the one in the video. We did have fun though.
