I have been in love with this car since the first time I saw it. This version looks awesome! I must buy one of these...

Ariel Atom Website

I may be wrong but I think I read somewhere that Gordon Murray is now working with/for Ariel??

 

That thing is tiny! I saw one down in Huntington beach the other day. Looked like a mini F1 car as it was exiting the freeway.

 

yeah in the near future

 

You saw one on the ROAD? That's insanity. Risking being crushed by a truck.

 

this would be great as a track car
but no way in hell am i going to drive this thing on the public roads

 

nice.. it will be on the cover of C16 magazine this month.

 

I wouldn't use it as a daily driver, but I'd certainly use it to have fun with on the streets. It wouldn't be the safest thing ever, but I'd venture to guess it'd be safer than a bike.

 

To my knowledge Gordon is currently doing his own thing right now. My company and him are actually pretty good friends. We designed the transmission for the Mclaren F1. I do believe that he did have heavy influence on the Ariel Atom. The Rocket Car that he designed was a sight to see. That thing was crazy fast.

 

I love that "thing", it must be fun to drive, but I find it difficult to refer to it as a "car"

 

i'm surprised its in Cali... the company can only get them legalized in like 5 states only right now...
