Has anyone driven one? I am completely infatuated with them and think it would a fantastic toy. Looks like they have a one day driving experience for $500. Might try to do this next year. Thoughts on the car?

Saw one on Top Gear. Looked awesome. Are they street legal or track only? What do they sell for?

I own an Ariel Atom 3 300. Amazing little car on track. Like a 2 seat Formula car.

It looks like the base price is around $50k which is what has me thinking more about it. I believe it goes up dramatically from there with the insane V8 somewhere over $120k!

Bob, that is exactly what I want to hear! I'm pretty much a track novice, but would love to do more. So, is the 300 that much better than the standard 200 or 245? At some point, it would have to be overkill. Do you drive on the street at all? I think this would be fun to do with a full face helmet, of course!
