The Atom (with the supercharger) is 28,000 pound sterlings, convert that to dollars you have a car that is about $ 60,000 + taxes + import charges to the US + shipping charges = $$$$$$, but i think its worth every penny.

It has a Civic type R motor in it
W/O supercharger = 210 HP
With Supercharger = 300 HP
0-100 Km/h in 2.9 seconds (btw 0-100 kmph = 0-62.5 mph)
power to weight ratio is better than a ferrari Enzo. `

There are a couple already here.
I'm going by the prices I saw them for.

supercars are about ridiculous performance and being unpractical....
not about luxury......
remember ferrari f40 ... no ac, stereo or carpets or door padding ...., just 2 seats, an engine and a body to cover it.....
