I am sure this has been posted before, but this is a car that goes 0-60 in 2 seconds powered by a Honda engine.

and i found this old commercial that i found interesting

honda civic type R supercharged engine!!...i no what im swapping, that is a really sweet ride tho

 

it gets alot of its speed by its extreamly low weight..just think if they built the engine and put a turbo on it =D

 

Man the guys face was crazy 120 miles an hour and no windshield.

 

I might of been living under a rock for a few years but street legal? and in the us?

edit: FASTER THAN A CARERRA GT!

 

yes legal in the U.S. I think a place in Washington state is gearing up to sale the over here.

 

The US version has s/c ecotec.
That gemini video is way cool. Wish they do that to a nowaday car.

 

the atom is awesome and the commercial was great

 

the Ariel Atom is the ****... but i don't know if i would buy one with an ecotec engine in it...i would prefer the TypeR engine.

 

you can get the UK version in the US. the UK version isnt technically street legal because it doesnt have bumpers but they have a bumper kit that you can install yourself and it costs something like 1500 GBP (thats about 3k USD give or take a couple hundred) and if you do that you can get the supercharged k20a. who can argue with that combo? especially when the thing weighs a touch over 1500lbs. faster than a ferarri enzo? you bet!

one thing i have to question though, how are they only getting 300hp out of a supercharged k20a? ive seen an RSX-S that was putting 320 to the ground with a JRSC and a 8psi pulley.

btw rerererepost. its been posted 3 times before this, but i dont remember who or where, and its been a while. so we'll let it slide .
