The V8's double-wishbone suspension is similar in geometry to the existing models but the suspension arms are made in aerofoil-section chrome-molybdenum tubing. Read more on the development of the Ariel Atom V8

Every car will have a full set of Ariel's aerodynamic wings in carbonfibre, optional on lesser models. There are a great deal of factors that affect the Ariel Atom cars 0-60 stats, so different sources may do a full driving test the same vehicle and each may arrive at a unique 0-60 mph. The Atom V8, recognisable for its gold chassis and wheels, a new, all-enveloping carbon engine cover and twin side pods to contain ancillaries like oil radiator and air compressor, uses a near-standard Atom tubular chassis with extra bracing around the engine bay. Please take into account that the Ariel Atom 0 to 60 times and Quarter mile data listed on this car performance page is gathered from numerous credible sources. Capable of flat-shifting, the gearbox also has electro-pneumatic paddle-shifters to soften‚ gearchanges and make them tolerable for road use.Īriel's Tom Siebert, who has done much of the Atom V8 development driving, says the car can cope "perfectly well" on the road, and even through city traffic. The worlds most extreme road car has just got even more insane With its 300bhp supercharged 2.0-litre VTEC engine, the current Ariel Atom is no slouch but. The V8 is redlined at 10,500rpm in the road-track model and 10,600rpm in the race-road and both use the same six-speed sequential Sadev gearbox. Read Autocar's first drive of the Ariel Atom 3 300 The 475bhp Atom has a top speed of 170mph, while the race version can reach 200mph. It will be available in a choice of two power outputs: a relatively docile 475bhp version intended for easy road use and a 500bhp race version with a much more aggressive throttle map, aimed mostly at track use. Now in its fourth generation, with more power, improved aerodynamics. The Atom V8 uses a US-built, 3.0-litre, 32-valve Hartley V8 engine, originally developed from two Suzuki motorcycle engines grafted together, but much developed since. An icon of automotive design, engineering and performance we continue to evolve the Atom. Prototypes are still undergoing final testing, but it's already been proven that the V8 Atom can accelerate from 0-60mph in under 2.5sec and from 0-100mph in well under 6.0sec.Īriel's targets are 2.3sec and 5.4sec respectively, eclipsing the class-leading Veyron.

Repositioning the steering wheel, dial, driver and headlights. Power is directed through a six-speed sequential transmission from Sadev, with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and the ability to upshift with the throttle pinned open. Added Lisance plate with daytime led lights. In road tune, the engine produces 475 hp at 10,500 rpm and 268 lb-ft of torque at 7750 rpm in race tune, it’s capable of 500 hp at 10,600 rpm and 284 lb-ft at 7750 rpm. Race-derived components include dry-sump lubrication, a flat-plane crankshaft, forged pistons, and eight individual throttle bodies. This Atom’s heart is a 3.0-liter, DOHC V-8 engine built by Hartley Enterprises in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It’s still the same open-air, exposed-structure design, with track-ready suspension and braking components, only with a healthy intake of horsepower. The Ariel Atom Motor Company has announced a new version of the lightweight Atom fitted with a V-8 engine good for up to 500 hp.
