***** Well yeah obviously - of course Honda could make this if they really wanted to. Honda, to my knowledge, has made F1 cars too. They're not idiots, I'm just saying that for something that's street legal, Honda hasn't made anything like this. Making the engine isn't all that hard either when you've got one as [relatively] basic as this one. The real hard part is getting every last drop of power out of it without destroying it. Your Lego analogy is a good one, but doesn't necessarily detract from my point. I'm not saying it's a bad thing that Honda never made a car like this. Probably too many legal issues to be worth the trouble. But they easily could have, and they'd yield more of a profit if they did; just like the people who build amazing things with Legos that don't sell their work to the company.

@alexradev1412 8 жыл бұрын

+Peter Schmidt I'm pretty sure if Honda was seeing profit, they would do it. What is good for a small company isn't necessity good too for a big one. Honda had way more HP from an 1.5 liter turbo engine than Atom from this one. There are enough regulations they have to look at and I guess it's just not worth the trouble for them. 300 HP from turbocharged or supercharged 2L engine is nothing spectacular anyway.

I find it pretty astounding that Ariel was able to get 300hp supercharging a Civic Type-R engine from 2008 whereas Honda has only done that recently by way of turbocharging with the current Type-R. Just shows how clever that group was to be ahead of the curve by ten years.

@wings4max 2 жыл бұрын

well honda also has different goals. even if it's a civic type r, it still has to be an everyday car. and the engine should have a higher life expectancy, than in an atom. also Honda has to put money in infotainment and sh*t, atom doesn't :D

Haters insult the atom for resembling a street legal go-kart, when that's the whole point of it. The fun and responsive action of go karts paired with the shear power and speed of F1 racing with the reliability of a daily driver. Even as a massive Honda Boi, i gotta admit, Ariel did real good work with the K20C. Not because Honda doesn't want to, but Honda can't due to legal issues. Ariel basically fulfilled Honda's dream of making a street legal F1 car.

Not doubting the power outputs or indeed the performance - but the precision of an atom, I promise you, can not be matched by anything on 2 wheels - in terms of thrills? Well, I’ve only ever riden a 750 and that was plenty enough a thrill and I suspect anything more is just plain terrifying - the atom allows you to exploit more of the performance without the fear and that in itself is beyond thrilling
