I want THIS watch and THIS car!

I like the Ariel Atom - but I like this even more. The Tag and the car are both designed by Ken Okuyama:



Okuyama KO7 Roadster

That car looks unreal. Almost like a toy.

The watch? Nice. Good to see TAG doing something new.

The Atom is a motorcycle with 4 wheels. Doesn't do it for me. It would be fun but nothing I'd lust after because of its looks. Performance? Sure, but it would be like lusting after a dirt bike ...

That's the big deal about the 911 - it combines performance with iconic looks. My old 993 gets me more excited than either one of those items.

Where is that watch and car thread from Rennlist? That was fun!

I concur. It would be an absolute blast. I like the new(ish) Honda powered Atom that's been fitted with a supercharger.

I don't care for the body style, but it looks like it would be a lot of fun. I'd prefer a Noble in the lightweight, rare sports car niche. The watch is nice.

Watch = Cool but dial is too busy and hard to read.

Car = Cool but totally impractical, personally I would rather have a high end motorcycle or Lotus.

YMMV

Too expensive.
A Swatch and Smartcar would fufill time and A-B transportation requirements for much less money.
