    Some years ago I spoke with the guy who was working on ADR approval for the Ariel Atom (a similar concept). The huge cost of approval had to be recovered from a relatively small number of cars, making the whole thing a WOFTAM.

    btw my Indy car has 1hp per kg and it's violent thrust that blurs your vision. I couldn't begin to imagine driving it on public roads.

    There is actually a fully registered aerial atom driving around Sydney. I've seen it a few times driving through darling harbour

    Yes, they got it done in the end, the problem is that very cars have been sold because of the silly price - amortising the approval cost means they're new Porsche 911 money.

    The dealer is an active importer of Japanese cars, Ferraris from HK, etc. www.roadandtrack.com.au

    Im shure the NSW police will have some reason to defect it.

    Lunacy. I think they failed to do a business plan.

    Yep, they pull like a 15 year old, even without the special "hot" button for limited time Max Boost.

    Horse has given himself an unfair performance advantage by painting it blue :)
