The Atom – Fastest Car on 4 Wheels?

Posted in car tech, tech news, youtube on Mar 09, 2008

Watch this BBC video of this car called the “Atom” that is one of the fastest cars on 4 wheels because of it’s design. It’s funny because it only has a supercharged Honda civic engine in it, but because of it’s light weight it can beat a supercharged motorcycle in a track race (as demonstrated in the video). Watch as the driver testing the car has g-forces rippling his face as this car accelerates from 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds! This car company is going to be really busy with orders, they’d better expand since they currently only have 7 employees!
