Brammo Ariel Atom (Enertia GT)
July 14, 2007
Brammo, the makers of the Ariel Atom have decided to go green with their latest super-car. Instead of the original gas guzzling V12 engine, the Enertia GT will now sport a completely electric engine. The car will be just as quick off the line, however top speed may suffer. The price of the Ariel Atom is $40,000 ($90,000 with all upgrades). There is no word on how much the electric Enertia GT will cost, the electric motor shouldn’t offset the price too much. Someone needs to get one of these and race the X-Bow.
