Ariel Atom
This is perhaps the craziest car on sale today on which you can put license plates. The Ariel Atom 500 V8 weighs 1200 pounds and has 500 horsepower from a V8 engine directly behind the driver. The car is a Go-Kart with a spoiler, space for two people, no trunk, body panels, and no fenders. Just a naked chassis, a screaming V8 behind you, 500 angry horses, a seven-speed sequential gearbox, and four tires (via ArielNA).
If this description doesn’t scare you, its performance will. The Ariel Atom 500 V8 can jump to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds, beating the Bugatti Veyron, the world’s fastest accelerating passenger car at one point. We can only imagine how it feels to do 60 mph in 2.3 seconds in a car with no body or roof, and the engine is just inches away from your head. It must be fantastic but deadly.
