365 HP and 1350 pounds. 7,500 rpm redline, and close ratio six-speed.









This 2.4 liter turbocharged version has SO much more torque in the midrange than the previous 2.0 liter supercharged version that it is hard to believe! And the extra 65 HP over the highest previously available, really shows up in a 1350 pound car!

Thanks for looking.

Now thats the perfect track car! Do they have a sequential gearbox as an option?

IMXCITD

that looks like too much fun!

Check out this HALLETT track video of me and my 2012 Ariel Atom with 300 HP. I can hardly wait to see what the 365HP is going to do, with my new 2016 Atom-


And yes, there is a sequential transaxle available, but did you notice in the video how quick the shifts are on the standard Honda six-speed?

I think so too. Thank you.

It really is great fun. And it goes without saying that it takes a pretty special ride to take the place of a top fuel car. (Or top fuel boat)

Eddie, do you mean to talk about yourself in the third person? Just a bit odd seeing you type out your whole name so often..

Enjoy the car, I'm sure it'll be a riot.

Eddie, this may be a stupid question but; is that car street legal the way it sits?

FourFather

Romulus, I know that does look odd, and I do NOT talk that way in person. That is internet-speak so that search engines like Google can more easily find my posts. That way folks (and potential clients) that are interested, can more easily find out what is currently happening.

As far as enjoying the Ariel Atoms and road racing, I really do love both. So much so, that just yesterday my sweet bride Ercie asked me if I had a do-over of my life, knowing what I do now, if I would be a road racer instead of a drag racer. Of course no way to tell that, but I admit it would be a possibility.

The last nine years racing (and to a lesser extent, street driving) these Atoms has really been a blast.

And I really do wish that I had discovered road racing sooner.

Thanks for your comment.

Gorgeous car! I need to see that run sometime at ECR, MSR, etc.

Here is Jay Leno's Ariel Atom on the street.

The shift light happens almost as soon as the throttle pedal hits the wide open stop, in low gear!

I will have this new 2016 Turbocharged Ariel Atom at Eagles Canyon Raceway Saturday, October 10. I will be glad to show and tell. It is just as it comes from the factory, with all street equipment, fenders, lights, two seats, street tires, etc.

Testing here in Wichita Falls indicates a lot of mid range, in addition to a lot of high rpm power. 365 HP with only 1350 pounds to pull around should be big fun!
