£17,995, but that's for the factory-built car. If you're good with the spanners, and you don't have to be a Formula One mechanic to build a Seven up from its kit, you can buy the kit for only £14,995.

Of course i'm sure this depends on what model you buy.

>>14721639
so like $25k?

>>14721660

Yeah, $19k-$25k.

>>14721677
Shame.
That being said, can OP's car ve driven on the roads?

>>14721680
Yeah, its road legal. Its basically a kit car.

>>14721623

Kek, this is why 4chan is better than its competitors

>>14721607
£≠$

>>14721628
fuck off facebook meme

>>14722297
$ isn't 2.5x £

it's rougly 1.5x

>>14721639
>£17,995

fucking hell, why these things are so expensive?
It's not like it uses some uber technology. It's a fucking engine on a double wishbone suspension and a bit of plastic parts.

M8, it's a fucking lotus 7, except more modern. Most of the R&D is done for them already.
And they use shitload of third party parts. For example they use miata NC gearbox if i recall correctly.

>>14722327
It's also extremely niche

the conversation had moved on to the caterham

>>14721607
>>14722317
Beside the R&D, the price is justified by the fact this car is produced in a very small number so you can't have the economies of scale benefice on the price.

It's the exchange rate.
Oh wait - never mind.

Transfer pricing profiteering. Fuck Britain.

>>14721623

lmao first comment best comment as always

>this car is produced in a very small number

Can confirm. 100 a year.

>>14723526

Yeah, but still, 50k is a little overpriced for a oversized glorified go kart.

Gotta love roadkill, one of the few decent car series I like on youtube.

Yeah, but I prefer the frame style of the Atom. Thats just personal preference of course.

>>14721607
Because the only company you can buy it from in the states, doesn't provide the kit for you to build, they build it themselves.

>>14723573
Do you want the car or do you want the price?

>>14723541
It's hard to justify, especially since it's so barebone.
However, considering that "oversized glorified go kart" can rape hypercars sweetens the deal a little.

>>14723601

The car obviously. I'm sure going to a fabrication shop and building the frame can't be more expensive then what they are asking.There are tons of CADS online thankfully.

>>14721607

Motorcycles are cheaper and faster, so i don't get the appeal of this shit either.

Also, you could get a Lotus Elise for less.

>>14723793
>comparing motorcycles to cars

Also, atom is way more superior than elise and in reality just as shit for DDing.

>>14721607
>you can build one of these yourself
