Oh man that is going to be cool.
Where can we find information on this "Hartley" V8? I've never heard of it, and a quick google search doesn't really help. Looks ridiculously sweet.

Id imagine it has the same pistons and head as the ninja ZX14. It defiantly should be quick car.

It might be the fastest of the fastests, how would you keep it on the road?

For information see www.dpcars.net, it's a customer's specific order, not an as yet officially available engine spec.
The main reason for the V8 is because he is also having a similar engine in his own project car, the DP1, so an Atom is a perfect starting test-bed.
It's not road legal, it's going to be a track toy.

The most intriguing part of the website is the 700 lb / 300 hp / 4WD prototype!!!!

Amazing... only a matter of time now before an LS2 finds its way in there...
Enthusiast
Yes, once they widen the car by about 4 metres. The V8 they have put in is a fairly compact 2.8. From what I know, the LS2 isn't small at all.

I don't see the advantage to that honestly. The LS2's weight would hurt the Atom's handling.

In before this gets ugly.
The LS2 is not nearly as big as you all seem to think it is.
Edit: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/archiv.../t-247771.html
LS1 = 383 pounds fully dressed. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the LS2 is very similar, since it's just the next generation motor.

Then you know very little, the LS2 is the same dimensions as the LS1, which is very small for a V8. I wouldnt be surprised a bit if it would fit right in.

Its hardly any heavier than the Honda 4 banger in it (actually, with the supercharger, the Honda 4 may be heavier than an LS2 (roughly 390lbs, and easily can be knocked down 50+lbs with lighter headers, which will also get you around 30-40hp)
