Yes, it is supercharged. That is the model he was driving.

Rocky, you would be the sport in one of those!

"I am an alien.............Either that or i'm John Merrick" :y24::y24::y24:Guy is funny !
On the 0-60, i wonder if he means MPH or KPH. Even if he means MPH, thats still .6 seconds slower than a R3, .8 slower than a old Kawi 750 triple, and i bet my Tbird will do 2.9. Not that i'm saying it's not quick, but i think it's not a totally new degree of performance, at least not compared to bikes. Should be tho with that power to weight ratio. Maybe it just can't get off the line quickly enough but once rolling accelerates much faster.

Well it sure does look like fun but you won't be picking up any hot chicks with your face looking like that

On Top Gear the 0-60 times are always MPH

im pritty sure thats the 300 bhp model from 2004 , the 550 bhp came out back end of 2010 !

 

[CarlS]

Whichever one it is, I would love to have one!

 

[Rocky]

Whichever one it is, I would love to have one!

I have to agree. It would be great fun to bomb around in something like that

TOP GEAR RULES

Forget the Atom, what appears to be loads of fun is the Reliant Robin lol

 

[The Seeker]

Reliant Robin......LOL!!!

As much as I like this Ariel Atom, I'd STILL love to have and have always wanted a Lotus Super 7.

 

[CarlS]

I'd settle for a Morgan - but the Ariel Atom is more affordable.

 

[shanered6]

would have to be the reliant robin for me with flames painted on it !

 

[CarlS]

:y24: :y24: I think I will pass on the Reliant Robin - even with flames!

 

[DaveM]

Right now I could not even afford a Vespa

 

[The Seeker]

Vespas aren't cheap these days!!!

Here's my dream car even if he does say they are only driven by geeks and nerds

[Rocky]
