I'm thinking of getting one of the 275BHp Ariel Atoms.

Anyone driven one of these? I'd be interested to hear comments. I plan to test drive one in the next few weeks when I know we have a spell of good weather.

Cheers

Ask Jeremy Clarkson


He loved it

Suggested you get the super charged version with big brakes


I have wanted one of these for ages but the wife wanted a Conservatory and Garage AND a Long haul holiday this year

So I'll stick with a share of a pug for track day fun

I would love one of these for a summer weekend toy

Looks like an outstanding piece of kit. Hard to imagine much more enjoyment than winding one of those up on the limits. What a machine for a track day!

I saw one at a trackday having a lot of sideways fun!

Or alternatively, how about one of these...?? http://www.grinnallcars.com/content/...orpion_IV.html

phoned to see if they would supply ariel in kit form .but no.it was the only way i could justify the asking price, if i built it in stages to save some cash.no doubt someone else will get my money.

SuperAlly

or you could build one of these.....

New model but not sure if you like the shape of the Westies but I think the target is the Caterham R500 (500BHP/ton) :-)) . Mind you, 30K (selfbuild) 33K (Built) is a hell of a wedge!! I've built a Megabusa but was a bitch to drive as the clutch was so fierce. Thought about an Atom but there is not much to get your hands dirty with....pay your money and drive.

an atom 'fell off' at Oulton the other week. they walked away from it completely unharmed, although it looked like there was some serious pain in the wallet to come as a result- it didn't look well at all bearing in mind it wasn't too heavy an impact

Saw one on E-**y this week for not a lot of money i.e 12k

Classic shots of him on TG driving one with his cheeks & curly mop being pushed back by the wind!!!

Just slightly off topic what about a Dax Rush V8 a lad a work has one, he picked it up for less than 10k and looks brilliant a lot wider at the back than a westie and better looking too. and with that lovely V8 midrange power and sound.

That seems a really good price for the Atom on Ebay !

Not that i know a lot about Atoms.

Have you considered a radical, or XTr4?
