Hmmm... I thought they saw to it that it was legal in the US by the narrowest possibly hair's breadth, but now you're making me doubt. Lemme see what I can find. Or does anyone else know for sure?


edit: ok found some info. Seems there's a US-legal version of it called the Atom 2, and it's also available as a kit which can be registered for those willing and able to brave a bureaucratic ordeal.

This is the Atom 2, the U.S. version of the Ariel Atom first produced in England by the Ariel Motor Company. Atom 2s are street-legal, track-day sports cars produced by Brammo, Inc. of Ashland, Oregon, an official Ariel Atom licensee.
