Beautiful Overkill: Ariel Announces 500HP Atom
By John
Editor
Ariel’s Atom was already insane. Previous incarnations of the bare-bones, 1100lb rocket had "only" 300 horsepower, but even then, the car’s performance inspired Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson to pronounce that "this car goes like nothing you can imagine," and describe it as "driving nirvana." How will it perform when equipped with a supercharged V8 pushing 500 horsepower? Pretty well, probably.

THAT’S the real deal right there, and it’s easily discernable from CRAP.
I like the gold, matte black (carbon?) and red… a VERY winning color combination (must add something like 50 horsepower alone)
I’d give my truck nuts to drive this thing.
