Did you drive the 300 hp supercharged one or which? What did you think of it? Why was Clarkson there anyway?

It was the 300hp version with various carbon fiber goodies and the alcon brakes.

Jeremy was out here with the TopGear crew shooting a DVD.

Nice, the same amount of power as an STi in a much smaller package weighing far less than half of our car.

Man, you guys are jealousy-invoking bastards!!! I think it's time I start a few car forums and start flashing my press credentials. All kidding aside, that is awesome that you guys got to drive the Atom. I never knew it was so small. I guess to weigh as little as it does, it has to be on the small side.

I want to experience the face distortion too

. Man you guys are lucky for being able to enjoy an experience like that, the first time I saw video of the Atom in action I was in disbelief. Clarkson's face was totally distorted lol, remember when you were a kid and people said don't make faces or your face will stay like that? That is one jacked up facial expression I would be glad to sport around lol
