This would totally be a track car / special event car. I can see rolling up to a spot with this and everyone's eye's on you. LOLs.

500hp naturally aspirated IS crazy. I don't want it as a daily driver. That's what the boxster is for.

The one Clarkson tested was either a 240hp or 300hp supercharged version. I forget. Not this 500 version. He did test the Caparo T1 which has about as much power / weight ratio, but the Caparo's aerodynamic for some reason wouldn't let you make low speed turn. You can get traction at 100+ mph, but not 30mph. So not really a streetable car. It kicked the crap out of everything else in the Stig's hand though.

And yes, you can fit a set of golf club in the Atom. If you golf by yourself, there's always the passenger seat. =D
