The motor is dyno tested at 400hp at 10,000 rpm, pretty damn lofty for a V8.  Palatov stiffened the rear uprights and braced the chassis to accommodate the car\u2019s horsepower.  Despite sporting a V8 motor, the car weighs in at 1,250 pounds, less than the stock 4 cylinder models.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never driven a car that truly scared me, but I\u2019d be willing to bet that this would fit the bill.  All that power in a rear engined car with no downforce leaves no margin for error; one mistake at speed and it\u2019s over, Johnny.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/cgi.ebay.com\/ebaymotors\/Other-Makes-Ariel-Atom-The-only-V8-Atom-you-can-drive-today-NO-RESERVE_W0QQitemZ270559218531QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item3efe960b63#ht_500wt_1182\">eBay<\/a>, via <a href=\"http:\/\/twoseatsorless.com\/2010\/04\/one-of-one-v8-ariel-atom\/\">Two Seats Or Less<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/ziEbf7AaiX3HRMuDG5lGAGJdMqQ\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/ziEbf7AaiX3HRMuDG5lGAGJdMqQ\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/ziEbf7AaiX3HRMuDG5lGAGJdMqQ\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/ziEbf7AaiX3HRMuDG5lGAGJdMqQ\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo: xqsmephotography.com If you\u2019re the buyer of the world\u2019s first drivable V8 Ariel Atom, the answer is very fast.
