Ariel Motor Company’s latest offering, the Ariel Atom 3.5, made its UK public debut at The Performance Car Show, held during the Autosport International 2013 at Birmingham’s NEC.
One of the fastest cars money can buy, the new Atom 3.5 features a host of updates, including a boost to 310bhp with the supercharged version of its 2.0 liter Honda iVTEC K20Z4 engine. British designed and built, it accelerates from 0-60mph in just 2.7 seconds and boasts a top speed of 155mph.
The Atom’s look remains, but with a stiffer chassis, improved balance and traction, it’s even more fun behind the wheel!
Debuting alongside the new road-going mean machine is the race-ready Ariel Cup, which has been specially designed to compete in Ariel’s new one-make race series, launching in 2013 and visiting tracks such as Silverstone and Brands Hatch.
The Ariel Cup is powered by a 2.0 liter Honda Type R iVTEC engine and features more enclosed bodywork, a modified chassis, rollover protection, race instrumentation and Ohlins suspension.
