If you’re a Top Gear fan like I am, you will remember Jeremy Clarkson racing a a motorbike in a very fast little supercar & getting his face almost blown off by racing the same car around the track. Well, that car was the Ariel Atom & Top Gear’s James May has just reviewed the newest model in a similar fashion, by racing it against the fastest road bike in the world, around the Top Gear track. The Top Gear host puts the new Atom through its paces & if you’re like me, your heart will go faster without having even sat in the driver’s seat.
Ariel’s new offering of the Atom features a V8 engine that outputs 500 horsepower. Now, while that may not sound so impressive on its own (in comparison to other supercars) it’s important to note that the Atom only weighs just over 1,200 pounds! That’s about half of what the Bugatti Veyron Supersport weighs, which means that the power to weight ratio is double of the Veyron. In fact, the V8 500 has 900 brake horse power per tonne – the Ferrari Enzo has 434bhp per tonne & the Bugatti Veyron sits at 530bhp per tonne.
