The Ariel Atom race car is essentially a production Atom 2, rather than a specially built one off race car, to prove out the formula of Ariel plus Honda. The Atom 2 race cars are powered by the same Type R 2.0 Honda i-VTEC engine as used in production Atoms since 2003. The engine, developing 220bhp, with the associated Honda 6 speed gearbox is in standard tune.

220bhp standard tune eh I'm taking my civic type r back for a refund then

I think they use the JDM engine which is around 220 BHP, and they also do a superchared version around 300 BHP iirc

Thumbs up YES!



I bet the power to weight ratio is good for the supercharged version!

I want one!

I think it'd have to be a second car though.... imagine that in the rain!

It's good in the standard one! They only weigh 500kgs.
Standard is about 400bhp/tonne
275 supercharged one is about 550bhp/tonne.

There were (may still be) 125 and 160bhp versions with about 250 and 320 bhp per/tonne respectively.

IIRC 'normal' atoms are £20k for the 160bhp, £24k for the 190bhp and £30k for the 275bhp one. Not sure about the ones pictured but apart from the spoilers, I'm not sure what else has been done.
