I was looking on ariel's site and noticed this:

http://www.arielatom.com/specs/atom-500-v8

Quote:

Ariel announce the latest version of the Atom - the Ariel Atom 500, powered by a small V8 engine. With over 500bhp in a 500kilo package the Atom 500 will boast one of the highest power to weight ratios ever for a production car, ever. At over 1000bhp per tonne the Atom 500 will be the ultimate statement in performance and is destined to be made in a limited edition.

that's absolutely insane.
discuss..

Apex Surgeon · 09-08-2008, 08:37 PM

I love the ariel but why must it look so horrid?

howielong · 09-08-2008, 08:37 PM

oh my......

CleanNeon98 · 09-08-2008, 08:38 PM

They have sometihng similar to this but I think the motors are untouched

garrettej8 · 09-08-2008, 08:46 PM

damn. that looks like a smaller formula 1 car.

I was reading further and the atom 500 is supposed to have a 2.4L v8 that revs to 10krpm

bastid · 09-09-2008, 07:31 AM

Do want.

dt98gsr · 09-09-2008, 07:46 AM

I'd be happy enough with the K-series Atom, but that's insane

Scapegoat · 09-09-2008, 08:45 AM

holy ****... just looked at their site... it seems their prices have gone up for the base model.

A couple years ago they were going for what... 45kish? they're at 65k now...

DPancoast · 09-09-2008, 11:47 AM

That's because they know that everyone will see how good of a deal that is and they will sell a lot. I'd sure buy one.

crazyukrainian · 09-11-2008, 08:37 PM

droool..... i assume everyone's seen the topgear vid where the 'normal' ariel rapes a cbr600rr
