So this is a currently commercially available electric roadster built in UK and I just can't find any trace of it online ? It's driving me crazy !

Has its builder ever made another car ?

Title: Re: NEH 3633
Post by: Carnut on October 15, 2014, 05:59:33 AM

I don't think they have made another car, no.
Just some other versions of this one.

Is this anything to do with the Bespoke Impact Roadster, an electric-powered children's car?

Spot On!
But this particular one has a model name too; locked for you to come up with it.

Oh my... It's called Rock Star Baby

A children's car, of course, that explains the crude detailing and weird stance.

Crikey that's a new one on me, though I can't dispute what it says on the Registration plate.
But you will see I deleted the name of the car from the nose, which is also there on the registration plate of my original photo and it's not Rock Star Baby!
The info isn't quite as readily available as you might imagine, even on their own website, but it's there if you delve deeply enough!
Still locked for you to dig right into..

The registration plate on your photo says Atom V8, but isn't that more likely to have been taken from... an Ariel Atom V8?

That's what I was looking for!
I don't know that it shares anything with an Ariel Atom V8 either in size, appearance, performance, base or anything else so I discounted any connection. But since it has the badge on the nose I think it must be a Bespoke Impact Atom V8?!

Maybe the badge is nicked from an Ariel Atom?!

Actually the number plate font is Aston Martin, so I guess it's a pastiche of that. Now, how does a V8 electric motor work...?
