Ariel Atom 3

Ariel Atom 3

The Ariel Atom 3 is a track-ready car boasting a near-perfect power-to-weight ratio and 300 bhp.

If you like to drive fast, this is the car for you.  Ariel has packed 300 bhp into it’s 1,400 lb. Atom 3.  This beast can launch you to 60 miles an hour in under three seconds, and get you  over 100 miles per hour in 11 seconds.  It’s a simple question of weight ratios, and the Atom 3 has a higher power-to-weight ratio than many supercars, making it a real steal at a starting price of $65,000.  This is not the type of car that you can fully appreciate in the city, or even on the highway – but take it to your local track, let loose, and have the ride of your life.  If the Ariel Atom 3 just doesn’t do it for you, you might want to ask his big brother, the Atom 500 V8 (pricing has not been disclosed) to come out and play.  The Atom 500, you guessed it, packs a whopping 500 bhp into a 500 Kilogram package, which Ariel boasts as the highest power to weight ratio ever put into a production car.

    1. Dan Gaul at 1:54pm 6th October 2009 I love Top Gear!
  3. Joel Hewitt at 11:04am 6th October 2009 The only thing I'd be worried about is if you crash. It looks like you'd be dead. Even in a fender bender on a highway, you'd be in bad shape. This is street legal?
