Surprised and honestly a little disappointed by how many people here are interested in the car for the "head turner" factor. I personally could care less about impressing strangers with status symbols. If anything the potential attention is a negative for me.

Is it pretty to look at? Absolutely. But that comes with a price I suppose. I'm buying the car for the visceral driving experience and memories it will make.
That's exactly why I purchased the Ariel Atom for the visceral Driving Experience, when I took it for a test drive the sensory overload and performance of the car blew me away.
I really didn't care at all for all the attention it got, actually I got very sick of all the attention all the same questions....
What is it?
Did you build it yourself?
What engine is in it and how much horsepower?
How much did it cost?
Is it street legal?
How fast is it?
Etc.
