The Swift 008.a is an open-wheel formula racing car, designed, developed and built by American company Swift Engineering, for use in the Formula Atlantic spec-series, between 1998 and 2001. It was powered by a naturally aspirated 1.6 L Toyota 4A-GE four-cylinder engine, producing 240 HP, which drove the rear wheels through a 5-speed Hewland sequential gearbox. It was succeeded by the 014.a in 2002.

The Atlantic Championship is a formula race car series with races throughout North America. It has been called Champ Car Atlantics (after its former name), Toyota Atlantics (due to the series' previous history of using Toyota-powered engines), or just Atlantics or Formula Atlantic. Starting in 2006, the series has been run exclusively with Swift 016.a chassis powered by Mazda-Cosworth MZR 2300cc (2.3 L) DOHC inline-4 engines producing 300 HP. The cars are capable of speeds in excess of 175 mph. The new formula has lowered the costs of running a full Atlantic season to around $500,000-$600,000.
