maybe the X-Bow is cheaper than the atom. ans easier to actually get on the roads in america? I like the atom a lot, so this car will have to be amazing. Plus, it has an Audi turbo engine (boo). those things always give out at about 100000 miles, (we own a 1.8t) even w/ normal driving, and who is going to drive an X-bow normally? we'll see where this goes, I guess.

The x bow will never be street legal in the US. It doesn't have a front windshield... It comes with custom helmets. It is meant to be a track car.

I'd take the atom or the xbow as a track toy... Neither one of them really appeals to me as a street car.. I'm sure if you hit that carbon fiber front bumper on anything and it will just shatter into pieces.

the atom can handle speed bumps, and is street legal as a motorcycle if you get the headlights and stuff. Has anybody heard of somebody tuning an atom? that thing would be nuts.

My understanding is that it is only legal if purchased as a "kit-car." Meaning that it comes to you in parts and you have to buy the motor separately.. Kind of like the noble m400. I've not heard that they plan on selling the x-bow as just a rolling chasis. But that is very possible.
