Jay Leno, America's most preferred automobile collector and host of the Tonight Show, received the very first Ariel Atom two made in the U.S. This little demon is an F1-inspired racecar that any individual can own. The Ariel Atom, which was first created in 2000, is for 1 and only one particular sort of driver - an unadulterated fiend for speed, efficiency, and enjoyable! An complete page of emboldened exclamation points falls short of describing the giddiness and excitement this two-seat racecar delivers to an adrenaline junkie. The magnitude of the acceleration from driving this auto around a track could just pull the skin appropriate off of a face!

Brammo Motorsports is licensed to make the Atom Ariel 2 in the U.S. UK-based Ariel Motor Firm produces the Atom abroad. The U.S. version deploys a General Motors' Ecotec two. L SC engine, although Ariel uses a Honda IVTEC. Each engines create around 300 horsepower, which does sound somewhat laid back for an asphalt rocket of this nature. Nonetheless, with the Atom's weight just a tad over 1,000 pounds, the vehicle's weight to energy ratio, four.ten to 1, is comparable to the McLaren F1, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, and the Ferrari Enzo. It goes from zero to 60 mph more quickly than you can say "Porsche Carrera" (two.8 seconds). The Bugatti Veyron 16.four, which expenses $1.34 million, does it in two.5 seconds. The Atom's 2007 dodge nitro price range is $35,000 to $75,000.

The car's chassis and body are a single and the identical. It has a tubular steel frame that houses two seats, four tires, two lights, a steering wheel, an engine, and, thankfully, an superb set of brakes and safety belts. The perfect pitch of the engine is the Atom's sound system. There is no roof, windshields, and doors. When it accelerates, the aerodynamics from its low, wide shape, nose cone, rear-positioned engine, and front/rear double-wishbone suspension pushes the vehicle down into the road to increase its stability.

Although the Atom is accessible in six colors, it is hard to call it a luxury toy. But since it is neither a street-legal vehicle nor an item available at Wal-Mart, it fits the bill. However, if bought as a kit auto and assembled correctly with all the additional goodies added on, it may be street legal in some states. But who cares? Driving this badass auto on any road with restrictions or impositions would be outright perverse.

Simon Saunders, who has developed both cars and motorcycles for some extremely prestigious producers, is the designer of the Ariel Atom. He set out to produce a vehicle that gave drivers the thrill of a motorcycle with the safety of a auto. Check out the videos on the company's Net web site and see for oneself. Mr. Saunders is a bloody genius!
