Hi guys,

Any idea why this atom 4 is nearly £100k?

Because it’s fully load with Ohlins, carbon everything including wheels and sequential gearbox. Plus a bit of a premium for not having to wait. List must be in the 90’s.

That has everything! Carbon wheels and sequential is £20k alone. WOW

Amazing machine, but if i had £100K to spend it wouldn't be on an Atom! Crazy money IMO.

Each to their own i guess....

Beast! I guess the owner wasn’t / isn’t part of the club?
Seems a shame to build something like this and not enjoy it.
Last Sunday was sooo much fun!!

One hell of a machine that’s for sure! Interesting on the spec sheet it says “pneumatic shift gear box - track use only”. That’s not true is it??!

I believe thats a quote from the spec sheet. Aligns with what i was told when speccing my car. The box is designed for track use.

You'd have thought it would have had CF/ Tillets for that sort of spec.

Add in the cost of the upgraded engine & this can't be far removed from what the R might look like one day.

I agree it's a strange omission. Perhaps the owner is "undertall" and so couldn't fit in them?

It’s all a bit confusing - the options list shows Sports Brake Package front and rear as well as 2 piece AP Discs front and rear ?

That's got to be one of the highest spec'd 4s I've seen! [mention]Peter255[/mention] does have a good point though - when you get up into £100k+ you're heading into BAC Mono and other exotic machinery. Interesting to see how many stone chips are on the front of the car with only 1200 miles... glad I've got my bonnet and wings PPF'd!

This car doenst have a premium on it I think. When I had my 4 on order I was on 100k and I had similar spec, but without carbon wheels and without wings.
Funny you mention the Mono...I cancelled the 4 and bought the Mono😂
