Supercharged Atom 3 Driving Experiences

Every supercar marque worth its salt is always one that is willing to evolve; to be bigger, better and faster than what came before it. And the Ariel Atom 3 is no exception. Stylistically, there may not seem to be many differences between the third generation and its predecessor. After all, it follows Ariel’s key design principles of simplicity and power.

What makes the difference is how it takes the best bits of the second generation and turbo boosts them, including the addition of a 2.0 litre i-VTEC engine from Honda, pumping 300 bhp, and much improved engine mounts, meaning a much smoother ride than you’ll have ever had in an Ariel Atom before.

And one thing this new generation of Ariel Atom doesn’t skimp on is speed, scorching from 0 - 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, with a superb top speed of 155 mph. It’s understandably one of our most popular picks for a supercar at TrackDays, and can be booked for an Ariel Atom 3 driving experience day at a fantastic variety of locations and venues nationwide.

The successor of the Ariel Atom 2, the Ariel Atom 3 first cruised off the production line in 2008, nearly ten years after the first Ariel Atom. It was also the first Ariel model to be produced in America for the US market, with TMI AutoTech Inc undertaking licensed production at the Virginia International Raceway.
