i dont get it. why would someone go to the store in one of those? hahaha. :D

looks like fun though...he should be out motoring vs picking up toilet gaskets at home depot.

 

that would be fun to drive up and down PCH.

 

PCH? wanna run that thing down TunaCanyon in Malibu. LOL :D

 

Pacific Coast Highway haha that would be fun too

 

fundamentally, yes.. just like saying the Mugen Civic RR is a Civic

 

Could it be that Jay Leno was shopping at the Home Depot?
He's lucky enought to own one of those Aerial Atoms.

 

he was at the depo to buy plexiglass to do the "i'm tired of eating bugs" conversion.
his next stop was to autobone, where he'd buy a huge APC windshield banner, a fart can muffler, and bosch platinum +4 spark plugs. then he'll go home and mount everything (including the banner) with zip ties.
it's a tuner, rich-boy fantasy of mine.

 

Can anybody clarify what motor that guy is running?

 

You can find more informaton and spec's at www.arielatom.com
The standard engine listed is a 08 Honda K20 but they offer a supercharged and news that there may be a V8 in the works.
www.auto.howstuffworks.com also has great info on the car.

 

One of these passed by me the other day while I was waiting at a light. All I heard was the loudest exhaust I've ever heard on a car and then it sped by like a blur. Talk about a fast car!

 

That is a Series II Atom and it came with an Ecotech Supercharged motor with anywhere between 210hp to 300hp depending on options.

Only the brand new Series III Atoms come with the K20 with or without supercharger.

The original Series I was only available overseas and it came with a B18 ITR engine with or without supercharger.

Now they are returning to the Honda roots with the CTR engine that comes with a Hondata standard, and about 245-250hp stock. A little over 300hp with the blower option.
