Ariel Atom powered by a Honda Type R 220bhp VTEC motor.
Just strapped in ready for the off...  Sitting in the pit lane ready for the session to start....  Mate having his turn - playing with a GT3  ..and about to be 'monstered' by a V8 Supercar!        Wow - what a day! 220bhp + 500kg + hot sunny day + race circuit =  Cracking little car. Very, very impressive, especially on the twisty bits. Was let loose for 8 laps before a pro driver showed us how it shoud be done. I shudder to imagine what it would be like with a supercharger and 300bhp  Gary --------------------  1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come....

The supercharger version was in Top Gear. I dont know really for sure. But they did not mention the supercharger but did mention it had 300 bhp.
There is another sort of car just like this but then using a Hayabusa Motor Engine. Was on the same episode i believe. I envy you!!! -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

I thought when I read the title that you were just going to post a picture of your GT-4.. that would have angered me!
Looks like a lot of fun.. What was your top speed in that thing? -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
