[QUOTE=LandQuail;791848]Would it?
We're talking about a car that's basically a bunch of scaffolding with a "5-fast, 5-furious" engine bolted to it.

I think that he was talking about taking out a Caterham Seven RS which actually has full body work. :)

It may still make women run for their lives but most probably less so.

That is a tiny engine for that kind of power output.

I am looking for the source of the motorcycle engines that power the Atom but with no luck.
Anyone know what block it is?

If i don't remember wrong it is the same engine as in the Radical SR8..
Two Hayabusa engines mated together isn't it?

A google search revealed [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powertec_RPA"]Wiki on the SR8 engine[/URL].
I do know that the Atom RS and RS Levante's engine has 5 vpc, so the engine has at least different cylinder heads.
I will keep looking.
Well this is interesting.

Started to work on the engine 15 years ago.
Ah now I got the name the puzzle is coming apart. It's called the RST-V8. All it shares with the original 1L Yamaha EXUP bike eingines form the 90s is the cylinder head castings apparently.

Amazing. Thanks for the nudge Fredrik.
EDIT: I heard once source call it a microblock V8. That pleased me.

This and the Caterham Seven RS Levante are as close to a street driven F1 as you can get. You gotta love it. I can't wait to see these cars tested on Top Gear. :D
