That's so awesome! Caterham recently put a 500HP supercharged 2.8L V8 into something called the RST-V8. I'll see if I can find pics...

It'd be a tough call if I had to decide between driving the Atom or the Caterham...

After reading both articles, sounds like Ariel and Caterham are using the same engines, just different drivetrain layouts.
