Jay Leno, America's most well-known vehicle collector and host of the Tonight Show, received the quite first Ariel Atom two developed in the U.S. This small demon is an F1-inspired racecar that any person can own. The Ariel Atom, which was very first developed in 2000, is for one and only one kind of driver - an unadulterated fiend for speed, performance, and fun! An complete page of emboldened exclamation points falls short of describing the giddiness and excitement this two-seat racecar delivers to an adrenaline junkie. The magnitude of the acceleration from driving this auto about a track may just pull the skin right off of a face!

Brammo Motorsports is licensed to make the Atom Ariel two in the U.S. UK-based Ariel Motor Company produces the Atom abroad. The U.S. version deploys a Common Motors' Ecotec 2. L SC engine, although Ariel makes use of a Honda IVTEC. Both engines generate about 300 horsepower, which does sound somewhat laid back for an asphalt rocket of this nature. However, with the Atom's weight just a tad more than 1,000 pounds, the vehicle's weight to power ratio, 4.ten to 1, is comparable to the McLaren F1, the Bugatti Veyron 16.four, and the Ferrari Enzo. It goes from zero to 60 mph faster than you can say "Porsche Carrera" (2.8 seconds). The Bugatti Veyron 16.4, which costs $1.34 million, does it in two.5 seconds. The Atom's bookcases with glass doors price range is $35,000 to $75,000.

The car's chassis and physique are one particular and the very same. It has a tubular steel frame that homes two seats, four tires, two lights, a steering wheel, an engine, and, thankfully, an superb set of brakes and safety belts. The perfect pitch of the engine is the Atom's sound system. There is no roof, windshields, and doors. When it accelerates, the aerodynamics from its low, wide shape, nose cone, rear-positioned engine, and front/rear double-wishbone suspension pushes the automobile down into the road to improve its stability.

Even though the Atom is obtainable in six colors, it is tough to call it a luxury toy. But because it is neither a street-legal vehicle nor an item obtainable at Wal-Mart, it fits the bill. Nonetheless, if purchased as a kit car and assembled correctly with all the additional goodies added on, it may be street legal in some states. But who cares? Driving this badass vehicle on any road with restrictions or impositions would be outright perverse.

Simon Saunders, who has created both automobiles and motorcycles for some quite prestigious producers, is the designer of the Ariel Atom. He set out to produce a car that gave drivers the thrill of a motorcycle with the safety of a automobile. Verify out the videos on the company's Web site and see for your self. Mr. Saunders is a bloody genius!
