Dang. That is all the Atom lacked. And that thing looks good. That photography is also superb.

a couple of notes...
they will not have air entering the air-duct at speed. In fact, I found that without the proper aerodynamic shaping of the screen I got a slight vacuum in the scoop, and because I'm running the intercooler in mine, it actually caused it to suck hot engine air up into the scoop... from there all the effort to get the shield properly shaped for the application.


the cabin should be much warmer from the heated air being sucked into it from the engine side. (not necessarily a bad thing for UK weather.)

expect about 10% increase in top speed.

don't bother with making it removable.... once you drove with a shield on, you won't take it off again...

The fact that it doesn't have a windshield is what makes an Atom as balls crazy as it is. I just think this is kinda killing the point of the car. Looks much better without the screen too...

I think the idea behind the Atom is to be plainly the fastest thing on rubber....

The doors and roof come next and suddenly you got what everyone else has.
