The Ariel Atom...Love it? Leave it? Even heard of it? email this discussion to a friend?

Jason_Lee (66)3 years ago

What are my fellow car buffs feeling on the Ariel Atom? I was thinking, "What the...?" when I first saw one, but after a while, it really grew on me. It's the opn wheel, open cockpit nature of the car that just made it so striking, like even though I thought it looked wierd, it seemed like it was be a blast (hmmm...kind of like a moped, fun to ride, just not in public.)

The car is extremely fast! I remember a British driver being videotaped testing the car and when he laid into it, it you could see him being pressed into his seat and hear him muttering something like, "Oh my god!".

Curious how others feel..

Was that the same video where he was on the track and his face was getting all warped from the wind and after he finished was raving about the g forces? My boyfriend loves them.. counts it as one of the top 10 cars he will own before he dies.:)

Yep! That`s the video! It`s an amazing car. There`s a company in Oregon (US) that has been contracted to build them. I`d love to get my hands on one. Your boyfrend has good taste! Just make sure he always takes you along for the ride.

I believe that the Ariel Atom has a higher power to weight ratio than a Bugatti Veyron! It was meant for the stinking rich to have fun on weekends at the track. The Journalist you are talking about might be Jeremy Clarkson. It looks small and cute and goes like mad mainly due to the lack of weight and the volcano behind the driver's cockpit
