My car of the moment is the Ariel Atom. It is totally flat and in the best incarnation (circa 29k) offers 300bhp, or 600bhp per ton as the car only weighs around 500kilos. It is brilliantly fast, with Top Gear rating it as just under the Enzo on their track. Quite impressive given that it costs less than a tenth of said uber-Ferrari. You can see the video of Clarkson's thoughts here. In a few days I might do some more coverage of the company behind the car.

What a Car!

I haven't had a great picture of a car on here for a couple of posts so here's a damn good one. It's the Peugeot 207 LW. Essentially a proper race car version of the 207. This is not of course the rather tasty RCup 'special' but an even hotter beast that will only find home on a track. And I want one. Well it's either that or an Ariel Atom.
