Ariel Atom on Top Gear 0-60 2.9 seconds

I like this car. The Radical just doesn't float me. Performance specs with the Atom are crazy, silly stupid. 0-60 in 2.9 seconds if you can shift fast enough. 2.0L Honda VTEC engine with supercharger = 300 HP. 550 kg weight. Totally open cockpit. Handling is a no-brainer.

Obtaining an equivalent power:weight ratio would require 681HP in a 911SC (1250kg,2750lbs).

Makes me consider adding lightness instead of HP to my 911. Perhaps adding lightness and HP would be preferred.
