Loud and cheap. Expensive and quiet. Both are quite nice.

From Flutterby [1] comes the link to the Ariel Atom [2], a sporty little car (for only £30,000) with a 300hp (horse power) engine that can do 0–60 mph (miles per hour) in 2.9 seconds.

Oh, and it only weights about a thousand pounds.

Also from the same Flutterby post [3] is a link to the Tesla Roadster [4], another 300 hp sportscar that is entirely electric.

Although it's a bit more pricey than the Ariel Atom, at about $80,000.

Both of which I wouldn't mind owning.
