Broken down, it's more embarrasing standing next to that Yugo.

Looks like they are. I suspect they are counter weights.

I'll take the Atom. Not as geeky as the Caterham and a damn sight better looking. Seems like it is more fun to drive as well. 0-6- in 2.9 (same as the Caterham). Base price according to Ariel is $65k.

Perhaps extra fuel storage or heat exchangers?
