    I just can't understand putting your money into something that looks like an over-sized rental go-kart. The Atom looks more like a real go-kart, a Se7en looks like a real car. This just looks goofy, like I should be paying 20 bucks to get 10 minutes at Jim-Bob's Fun Palace Mini-Golf and Karting.

    It still weighs almost 800kg. For such a niche vehicle, it sure is fat.

    There is no room for your thunder thighs here X-BOW!

    @RamblinReck89: Well, fat compared to the Se7en and the Atom... that's about it. It's fantastically light compared to pretty much everything else out there.

    @Number_Six:
    I'm glad it's not available in the US. Then it would be another hot European car I can't afford!

    @brickyard: I just find it annoying that the European market can support these niche vehicles but all the money in North America can't. We clearly don't love our track-day cars.

    I'm sorry, what did you say? All I heard was "X-BOW blah blah blah 300 hp 295 lb ft blah blah blah..." then I went and looked up the weight. 790 kg (1741 lb for us archaists).

    Impressive.

    I would still rather have the Arial Atom 500 V8. 500 hp in a 500 kilo package.

    I really love the X-Bow until I see the price. I guess if you're dropping 130k another 9k for 60 hp is nothing.

    @Miscellanea's brakes are squealing: Is it really that expensive? The Atom starts at $65K.

    Dear Grim Reaper,

    Thanks to recent developments at ABT, I will now be able to meet you much sooner. How about lunch? I can now be there in 3.5 seconds!

    My first thought when I read that was "300 HP dirt bike? wtf"

    Obviously I haven't had enough coffee yet.
