New Wimmer Ariel Atom

Here is a tuned version of the Ariel Atom 3 of the guys at RS Wimmer. You may already know, a company that produces Ariel Atom is now offering 500 horsepower V8 version, but to be honest, it's too much power for a light car. RS Wimmer came to play with an upgrade package that can squeeze an extra 40 hp from a 4-cylinder 300 horsepower engine that forces of bourgeois stock produces. The kit includes a new engine optimization software revision of the compressor, conversion, fuel and high-performance exhaust system Rennkat together. The results were 340 hp and 282 Nm of torque Ariel Atom 3, weighing only 469 kg. Driving a go-kart-like car was an explosion and musical numbers to prove it to 000-100 km / h takes just 2.8 seconds.

Wimmer RS Ariel Atom is capable of 200 km / h in 7.1 seconds, faster than most exotic on the market today. Fortunately, not by not tuning in to add that luxury items, and plans for all vulnerable in tandem, the director feels like no other. When driving Ariel Atom, you feel you are part of the machine, which makes this such a feeling of super cars.

2010 Ariel Atom 500 V8 - Ariel Sports Cars

Ariel announce the latest version of the Atom - the Ariel Atom 500, powered by a small V8 engine. With over 500bhp in a 500kilo package the Atom 500 will boast one of the highest power to weight ratios ever for a production car, ever. At over 1000bhp per tonne the Atom 500 will be the ultimate statement in performance and is destined to be made in a limited edition.

Ariel Atom 500 V8

The V8 powered Atom is the first of some exciting developments from Ariel due to be released though 2008 and builds on the growing reputation that the company has for putting the passion back into driving and producing sports cars that are fun to drive as well as fast both on and off the track.

The Ariel Atom 500 V8 project first began back in 2007 as a special model created in conjunction with RS Developments. The car features the same RS (Russell Savory) designed supercharged, 2.4 litre V8 engine connected to a 6 speed sequential Sadev gearbox driving the rear wheels. The gearbox has power-on shift capability, paddle gearchange with manual override as well as launch and traction control.

The Ariel Atom 500 V8 is identifiable from the standard Atom by the twin rear intakes for intercoolers and unique anodized gold color scheme for the chassis and wheels and carbon fibre panels and carbon fibre aerofoils. Other features include chromemoly aerofoil wishbones, multi-function steering wheel, Alcon 4 piston caliper brakes and lightweight Dymag magnesium wheels.

Said Simon Saunders, Director of Ariel, 'This is an interesting project for us and an experimental departure from what we normally produce. For a few customers the Atom 500 will be the ultimate expression of lightweight performance and represents the outer limits of what is achievable in a road registered car. 

We also use this sort of project to explore the possibilities of how we can improve our standard cars. The Honda engined production cars already combine all the elements that we want in an Atom and by pushing the envelope to these sorts of extremes we can further improve the breed'.

Prices have not yet been released, but the first customer’s Ariel Atom 500 V8 will be built in spring. Ariel Director Simon Saunders said: ‘The Atom 500 will be the ultimate expression of lightweight performance and represents the outer limits of what is achievable in a road registered car.’

With the standard Atom 300 already achieving sub 3 second times to 60mph and sub 7 second times to 100mph, the 500 will take this one stage further with record breaking production car possibilities.
