it is easy to have a street legal F1 car. They are called kits. you assemble the body, frame, and chassis, then drop in the engine and tranny of choice. As long as you have blinkers, spedo, seatbelts, and few other odds and ends, you are street legal. Now will it pass inspection if you live in an area with it, thats to be decided.

Only a concept car, not gonna be produced, and outside mirrors are necessary to pass as street legal.

I doubt any kit car can create more downforce than its weight at 150 mph or go 0-60 in 2.5 secs or has more than 1000 horsepower per metric ton (the veyron has 529 hp per metric ton)

They had that on Top Gear a while ago. mirrors are integrated into the front fenders, and brake lights/indicators are integrated into the trailing edge of the rear spoiler. Incredible car, but I personally don't like the look of it.

no it isnt, powered by either a Honda K20 or a GM ecotec supercharged in the states, i think it comes with a type R variation in Europe but i could be wrong.

well a tubular chassy isn't that rare really in a sports car so you could have seen something similar, its just not that Atom.

damn it you beat me to it. it also can go faster 0-100 or 0-60 (cant remember) in reverse than a mclaren f1. 1001 horespower. 0-60 in like 2.3 (?) seconds. 4 wheel burnouts in seventh gear. like 9 radiators. 1.3 million dollars. took 50 enginers 7 years to make. i could go on a long time about how great this car is. btw i might be off on some things i read the TopGear article on it a while ago
