Yes, its the ariel atom and yes it does beat the enzo around the top gear track. I think its close to 100,000 dollars aus. One of the funnest cars to lay hands on. The value for that performance is astonishing. I would buy one.

 

yeah, it's not a direct conversion. For example, the Evo IX (fq300) costs £27,999.00 in britain, which (using direct conversion) would be $50,000 here, which it isn't. For some reason, goods don't really follow the monetary conversion numbers, they're more relative to location. I think money conversion #s are strictly for converting money, not comparing cost of living (or buying) standards.

Based on that, it seems like we're actually getting a much better deal on stuff

 

That was just amazing!!!

 

No, the conversion is the same, whether you're talking about money or goods. What you're seeing in car price differences I think are the high taxes the British pay on goods so they can have things like "free health care."
