ARIEL ATOM 4: A COOL STORIED PAST

ARIEL MOTOR COMPANY HAS A VERY UNIQUE 150 YEAR HISTORY

Did You Say 150 Years?

Since 1870 when it first designed and patented the Ariel Ordinary - a 48" front wheel old school bicycle. Then, they went on to make several other unique offerings including, more bicycles, a quadricycle, cars and motorcycles...

Fast Forward 150 Years

This is the Ariel Atom 4, one of a few offerings from Ariel North America. Since Ariel is a UK Based company, they utilize TMI AutoTech in Virginia, USA to build the Atom 4 and Nomad for the US market.

Fully Custom, Hand Built in the USA and Unique To You

With its open air design, lightweight, high power to weight ratio and direct steering - it might be one of the last great driving experiences for driving enthusiasts. And it isn't electric!

Ariel Atom 4

Ariel also makes a Nomad, which offers an off-road capability, but today we are focused on the Ariel Atom 4. This road going version is amazingly capable and technically affordable when compared to other cars that can offer this level of performance and driving experience. How awesome is it?

"To 60mph in 2.8 seconds, to 100mph in 6.8 seconds. Over 500bhp per ton in standard, unmodified form. Astounding figures. Quicker than a Ferrari, more lateral G than a Porsche GT3. Giant killing performance for a fraction of the price. This is race car territory, but obtainable and reliable." (Source: AERIAL)
