| Additional Info: Uses the Honda Civic Type-R engine. Later version (Atom 3 300) makes more torque and max power is further down the rev range and has an improved chassis. Non supercharged version available with 220bhp (Atom 2) or 245bhp (Atom 3)and an earlier 1600cc has 111bhp. A limited run Ariel Atom 500 has also been added with a 500bhp 3.0 V8 and has a claimed 0-60 time of under 2.3 secs! and we can well believe it, as it set a time of just 1:15.1 on the Top Gear track. |
