Oct. 25, 2005 - Ariel Atom

If you haven't seen an Ariel Atom yet, you probably will soon at a high-speed driving event near you.  The Ariel Atom is a perfect example of form following function.  Consisting of little more than an engine and an open, lightweight, tubular chassis, the Atom distills the essence of a sports car down into a curve-hugging track monster.

A base model in the U.S. costs under $40,000.  Weighing in right at 1000 lbs., the Ariel Atom can achieve supercar acceleration and handling with a variety of engine options.

You can read more about the Ariel Atom at www.arielatom.com, and you can get some details about availability in the United States from Brammo Motorsports, the exclusive North American Manufacturer and Distributor for the Ariel Atom 2.
