Developing over 500bhp at 10,000rpm the supercharged engine features all alloy construction, 5 valves per cylinder and a dry sump.

With the standard Atom 300 already achieving sub 3 second times to 60mph and sub 7 second times to 100mph, the 500 will take this one stage further with record breaking production car possibilities. omg i want one.

At least the only music he'll be playing is that crazy 2.4L! That would be quite a good song, even if it only lasts barely a minute. Maybe he will be allowed to do a couple consecutive laps for a good show.
