I was just on the FFR forum and learned that Dave may be releasing pics (or renderings) of the 818 and possibly go-kart video footage in the next few days ... pending discussion with GRM.

I have pictures of the 818 first drive It's the size of a Miata, very cool.

You'll have to ban me I'm not allowed to share. But parked beside an NC, it's basically the same size. Looks wicked.

My only concern is that the market for wrecked WRXs is about to go through the roof Oh well, at least it's for a good cause.

I'm always afraid that if I drove an unfinished car without the bodywork I'd always miss the feeling of lightness once the bodywork's on.

You know, I've been thinking about selling the lemon of a WRX I stupidly bought as a donor for this thing...

Thought the big body reveal was to be SEMA this fall?

The complete vehicle reveal is planned for SEMA; the current debate is whether it will be the street or race version. In the meantime there may be some renderings released as teasers (probably the first at next weeks Open House).

More:

Working suspension

Launch

Nah, the Atom essentially started as a student project for a show car. It looks that way to look that way, not because it works better.

So, essentially there's no forward traction. Yep, sounds about right
