Default Street legal Ariel Atom to the States

The street-legal version of the Atom coming to the US is $50k and goes 0-60 in 3.7 s, which is still super fast.

The Euro version was supercharged @ 300 hp and went 0-60 in 2.9 seconds I think. I guess you can add a aftermarket supercharger to it and get that speed (it uses the 2.0 liter Civic Type R engine).

No chance that car will be street legal here in the states. No way.

Why not? The T-rex is street legal in the US, and it only has 3 wheels.
