Description
Unleashed at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Ariel Atom 4 is the latest evolution of Ariel's legendary performance machines. This Somerset-built marvel is a masterclass in engineering, prioritizing minimal weight and maximum performance. As Evo Magazine put it, "Intense doesn’t even begin to explain it," and Jeremy Clarkson famously declared he'd "never, ever driven anything so fast."
Building on the Atom's legacy, the Atom 4 boasts a 2.0L Turbocharged Honda Type R engine with a 3-stage boost control. With the 350bhp upgrade, like on our example, it rockets from 0-62mph in a blistering 2.5 seconds. The driving experience is monumentally exciting and utterly unique – serious fun and seriously cool, whether on the track or in traffic.
Our 2020 (70) Atom 4 is a truly exceptional example with an extensive specification, including nearly every available carbon fibre option. Having covered just 4,415 miles, it has recently been treated to a full Corten-Miller Mechanical Overhaul, addressing some commonly known issues.
Highlights of the impressive options list include Carbon Fibre Front & Rear Aerofoils, a Limited Slip Differential, AP Racing 4 Pot Brakes and Ohlins TTX 3 Way Adjustable dampers.
