SUMMARY

A genuine featherweight at a mere 595kg with a substantial 320bhp, the Atom 4 is capable of humbling hypercars with 0-60mph achievable in 2.8 seconds, if you can hold on.

DESCRIPTION

It feels like only yesterday the Ariel Atom strutted into our consciousness, imortalised by the image of a certain Jeremy Clarkson's face being folded back by the velocity. In fact the Atom was displayed to the public for the first time almost 30 years ago at the British International Motor Show in 1996. Since then, the Atom has gone from strength to strength bringing focus back on what makes an enjoyable and hugely capable driver's car. The Ariel Atom has an uncanny ability for setting the pace at any track day proving that lightness can equal and overcome the power and frills of any supercars, or hypercars for that matter.
 
Since its inception, the Atom has been powered by no less than seven different varieties of engine and in this case, the eighth-generation Atom, the Atom 4, launched at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2018, utilises the turbocharged 2-litre unit with 3-stage boost from Honda’s Civic Type R producing 320bhp and 310lb/ft of torque at only 3,000rpm. The '4' shares only three parts with the previous Atom 3.5 - the pedals, the steering wheel and the fuel cap. Larger chassis tubes have resulted in increased rigidity as well as revisions to the suspension design leading to better anti-squat and anti-dive characteristics.
 
The car on offer here has been used as intended, with 3,678 miles displayed, at the time of cataloguing, this is one to be used and enjoyed without worry. This Atom 4 looks menacing with the chassis tubes and bodywork in black, all presenting well. Our vendor has previously driven the Atom on track and has raved about its incredible performance We recommend interested parties to have a look at the car's history file to see the full details of recent work which includes a professional rebuild of suspension components and a new clutch in July 2023.
