The x-box will be street legal once it hits the US.

It might perform well, but it is not much to look at. I'll take an Ariel Atom.

I'm pretty sure the Ariel Atom will outperform the x-bow.

I have been watching the development for over two years. I would take the x-bow over the Ariel in a second. I love the way it looks. I like ugly cars which is why I drive a Mini

...Me too(not the 2 years parts though...about a year or so)...

I think that thing looks like a stealth fighter for the streets(just switch out the orange and its good to go), but I love the orange it makes it look like a beast!

I checked out the site. It looks like he took a AWD High End RC car and made it real. Crazy cool!

+1 on the Ariel Atom, but I wouldn't turn down either car, if offered to me!

Plus, I like the Ariel Atom driving school they offer on many race tracks across the country, where you can spend half a day, or a full day, flogging the hell out of one, and not put the wear and tear on your MINI...

The thing is wicked quick with "just" the Hayabusa engine in it. Can't wait to see it with the Hartley V-8!!!

wow. The coupe looks fantastic. I assume it's street legal? The ride height would be a tad comical if it were just for the track

it can be street legal. ride height as pictured is about 4 inches. not as high as it appears in the pic. i think that there is an track aero kit that can be installed/unistalled as required. RCR has some nice offerings.
