The Atom (300 SC) strolled it this year

Wonder how long I'll be able to resist the temptation of having it Supercharged when it finally arrives?

Its managed it in 11.35 seconds, 13.50 in the wet - to give you an idea of how quick that is, the Porsche Gt3's dry time is slower in the dry than the wet Atoms time.

The R400 managed 15.25 in the dry.

How gutted am i I can't get the 245 on the ferry next Tuesday morning

nah - its all to do with the new version they make mention of in this article - sounds like mine might be capable of more than 300 if I make the call to get the SC some time in the future

The sale of the license to the states to have them built there combined with a waiting list on the verge of 12 months in the UK, should have them sorted, but with the new rev, and the move to new premises, i think they under-estimated the impact this would have on lead time

After paxing in George's Atom at KH on Saturday i am dead envious Andy! From what George was telling me it sounds like there is such pent up demand that you could buy one, drive it for a year, and then sell it for pretty much list price. Compare that to freefall new Exige depreciation. And the supercharged one sounds truly nuts - Autocar reckon it makes a Caterham R400 feel slow

with current lead-times my car will actually appreciate when i leave the factory! (well for those potential buyers that aren't aware of the rough love approach)
