New Ariel Atom coming soon.
 

Have a read of this http://www.pistonheads.com/news/defa...?storyId=19975 :norty::notworthy:cool: .

Hmmm, very nice http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/geno/wanker.gif

£100k are you sure!

Still think I'd rather have this mid life crisis:D

Caterham Cars - Designed for racing, built for living

That engine's amazing: looks like a DFV.

It's no wonder they want £100k+ for each car: imagine the engine development and production costs for something that's being sold to the tune of 25-odd units. Surely they must have another vehicle in mind for it? Maybe a race series or a new MG TF (;)) or something?

It makes even TVR's own engines look mass-produced!

My old Scoob would have it in the twisties.

I've ordered two ;)

Bit of bad news it has to be rebuilt every 30 hrs so no road going shinanigans.

Save ya money buy a well speccd AMS Murtaya.

It wouldn't touch an old Atom never mind a new one.

Anyway its ugly.

U reckon? how about the 800 bhp /8oo kilo one 4wd.
Same guy also has a 450 bhp wagon now having a 3.0 flat 6 twin turbo fitted in it.
:norty:

had a pax lap at the ring in an atom-not entirely enjoyable and you soon realise in a crash ...uh oh
still waiting for my murtaya-paint and engine refit this week so not long now !!

ps think ariel was base model not much in acceleration between murt demo and it to be honest!

100 grand for a climbing frame with an engine !

I am sure it's only a glorified kit-car really. Like those funny Ultima things.

If you want a 4 wheeled motorbike, you should go for the original Gordon Murray designed Light Car Company Rocket, which was launched back in 1992. Ariel rather copied this idea.

BTW a road spec murtaya beat an atom head to head :p

How much!!
 

Fek me, I'll stick with my westfield thank you. It cost me £5,500 3 years ago. Admittedly I have probably spent that again on it since.
It may be 16 years old and only has 150BHP but it accelerates faster than my wrx and is wicked down the lanes.

Be interesting to see this up against the Caterham Levante:norty::norty:
