No it's a homemade project, that guy built it in his garage so right now it's the only one. Fully electric with 3 phase AC motors, VFD's, and 500 lbs of battery stuffed in it

It is built on the Ariel frame though, just electric

But on that note here is a clip of the Ariel Atom to boot

I was thinking the same thing, they should put them against each other on a road course and a strip

I wish that doofus hadn't talked over the Carrera GT 1/4 run. The sound coming from that thing is unreal. Sounds like a Formula 1 car.
