This is a unique car and as of this writing, the only V8 Atom in the world that you can actually buy. 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 on the street during daylight hours. The car weighs 1,250 lbs with no fuel.
