| Ariel Atom | This is your chance to get behind the wheel and experience the thrill of driving this amazing high-speed open-top race car! Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson described his experience in an Atom as “The time of my life!” These remarkable cars are all built by hand in a tiny workshop in Somerset, and usually come with a hefty price tag. And as less than 100 are purchased each year, you’re about to enjoy a very exclusive driving experience indeed. The specifications of this unique road-legal racing car are impressive: a 160 bhp 2-litre Honda iVTEC engine in a vehicle weighing only 456kg (that’s just over 1000lb!); a 5-speed gearbox, and the ability to go from 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds. The controls are simple enough for anyone familiar with standard road cars, but the Atom handles just like a single-seater, so it’s about as close to a genuine road-going racecar experience as you’re ever likely to get! |
