It is a street legal car. I've seen one on the street in Florida where a front plate isn't required.

Went round the nurburgring in it for the first time ever as a passenger twice, drove round myself once, absolutely mind boggling through the bends. Mind you we were proper rookie drivers because everything was flying past us you have to no the racing line but it was the best experience i've ever had checkout the pictures one is of me posing next to the car outside the grand prix hotel in nurburgring the other one is of this guy i met in somerset his names Steve he is doing a lap in his ATOM 300 at SPA ..... WHAT A MOTOR .....

the Atom 3 is the current in production version... look at http://www.arielmotor.co.uk/ ..the Atom 3 is little bit wider to have space for larger guys and the latest version of the Civic Type R engine.. little bit wieder tires and many other smal modifications..

Me of course
