Darth Vader ditches his Tie Fighter for this Bad Boy

Here's an awesome image of Darth Vader taking a ride in his new vehicle the Ariel Atom high performance sports car. It looks like this is a pretty good upgrade from his old 1970's Tie Fighter. I have to say Vader looks even more badass in this then he did in his Tie Advanced Starfighter.

Here are some details on the car for those of you not familiar:

The car features a 500 horsepower 3.0 litre Russell Savory designed V8 engine (also planned to be used in the Caterham 7 RS), carbon fibre body panels and aerofoils, chromoly aerofoil wishbones, integrated function steering wheel, Alcon four-piston brake calipers, and Dymag magnesium wheels. The engine weighs 90 kg and is coupled to a Sadev 6-speed sequential gearbox to cope with the increased power over the Honda unit. During the development process the RS performance engine was replaced by a unit prepared by Hartley Enterprises giving the final production version of the 550 kg car 900 bhp/tonne.

Ariel claims this variant will accelerate from 0-60 mph in "less than 2.3 seconds".
