2006 Ariel Atom, 400hp V8 conversion by Palatov Motorsport. NO RESERVE - PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS AND HAVE CASH AVAILABLE BEFORE BIDDING! This is a unique car and as of this writing, the only V8 Atom in the world that you can actually buy and drive. It is streetable in Oregon as a 'Race Activity Vehicle' (permanent SP plate) but is configured primarily as a track vehicle - it is too crazy for the street! The only lighting is a brake light so it can only be driven during daylight hours. It may be difficult or impossible to register it for even limited street use in many states. Do your research BEFORE YOU BID if this is a concern. The car is being sold for track use only and I cannot assist with street registration other than what it already has (Oregon RAV). This is an awesome track toy for a DEDICATED and EXPERIENCED enthusiast. The car weighs 1,250 lbs with no fuel, which is less than the 4-cylinder stock models, and has 400hp. This is same power/weight as a late-70's Formula 1 car! It posts lap times similar to vintage CAN-AM cars.
