Atomik Cars has taken the 500 Abarth and made it meaner <em>and<\/em> cleaner. The new company&#8217;s aim is to deliver a zero-emission vehicle that blends supercar performance with city car packaging. Atomik&#8217;s motto is &#8220;Anticipating the future.&#8221; It may well have succeeded.<\/p>\n<p>With output from its AC brushless synchronous motors reportedly equivalent to that of a 300 horsepower engine, the Atomik 500 slingshots to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds. It has lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries in unknown quantity, a ceramic heating system to warm its passengers and a &#8220;Peltier A\/C module w\/o gas&#8221; to cool them. More details will forthcoming as its April debut at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.topmarquesmonaco.com\/index.shtml\">Top Marques Monaco<\/a> draws near, but we can tell you that its rarity is all but guaranteed: only around 50 copies will be available for purchase.
