An Ariel Atom?

[–]VikingCoder 55 points56 points ago

Without question my favorite episodes of Top Gear.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v4YNkurhLk

If you have not seen this clip, and you've ever enjoyed anything about cars, you owe it to yourself to watch it.

[–]Measly 16 points17 points ago

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points ago

Great episode, but the Bolivia and Middle East specials have to be my favorite episodes

[–]fissionmailed777 4 points5 points ago

Agreed, Vietnam and the one in SE USA are good too. I'll leave it that I just love the specials.

[–]mandelbratwurst 5 points6 points ago

North Pole special is mine. But all the specials are amazing (save for the mid-atlantic US special. What WAS that?)

[–]xiic 5 points6 points ago

The review for the second version of the atom was pretty good too.

[–]ffffffuuuuuuuuu 3 points4 points ago

with a v8. Crazy.

[–]VikingCoder 1 point2 points ago

Agreed.

[–]X-Istence 1 point2 points ago

Link?

[–]rattmann316 0 points1 point ago

WWW.Google.com

[–]arcooke 1 point2 points ago

This is by far my favorite episode.

[–]sooshi 3 points4 points ago

I just noticed the license plate is 470M (Atom in leet) haha

[–]Rallerboy888 0 points1 point ago

Indeed

[–]rottdog 5 points6 points ago

Ariel Atom , Even tho it's just the 4cyl one i want that fucking car.

[–]MedievalKnieval 15 points16 points ago

4 cylinders in something that light is gonna be plenty.

[–]rottdog 2 points3 points ago

yeah iirc it's a honda type-r motor that it's built off of , but they also made a v8 version which is insane

[–]OGbigfoot 0 points1 point ago

There's a version that uses a 2 litre GM engine IIRC.

[–]rottdog 1 point2 points ago

The base model from top gear and also on their site is a k24 honda engine.

[–]JimmyJamesincorp 0 points1 point ago

R-Type supercharged.

[–]whitestboyalive 7 points8 points ago

0-60 in sub three if I can remember correctly.

[–]rottdog 0 points1 point ago

it's the leader or at least it was on the top gear board.

[–]Lemmiwinks0141 2 points3 points ago

The V8 version is/was I think

[–]Peregrineeagle 2 points3 points ago

It still is, and it's ahead by nearly an entire second, so It'll probably stay there for a while.

[–]a_tension_center 2 points3 points ago

The one in the photo is a v8 model. 500hp.

[–]rottdog 4 points5 points ago

i don't believe it is , the v8 has a mini windshield this one doesn't

[–]a_tension_center 0 points1 point ago

Uhh, I don't think you're looking at the same car that I am. The one in the photo has small windscreens on both sides.

Also, I don't think the front and rear aerofoils are options on the four cylinder.

[–]rottdog 0 points1 point ago

http://www.topspeed.com/cars/ariel/2012-ariel-atom-v8-500-ar100592/picture383782.html

This is what i mean by windshields. This is the V8 model. Those tiny pieces of plexiglass are the windshields . The other ones are just humps for the steering column and the other i believe is just for esthetics

[–]a_tension_center 1 point2 points ago

After further investigation, I am convinced my original comment is wrong and the version in the photo is not the v8 model.

However, the reason has nothing to do with the windscreen. The windscreens on the car in the photo and the one you showed are optional for all models. As are the aerofoils.

I changed my mind because the Atom v8 has twin rear intakes for intercoolers and a gold anodized frame that, apparently, is not an option for other models. That, and only 25 v8 models have been produced.

P.s. The photo I linked does not have the windscreens you showed earlier.

[–]rottdog 1 point2 points ago

I stand corrected and correct . I was thinking the same thing about the frame but I didn't know if it was just a paint option or not.

[–]DutchJester 2 points3 points ago

cylinders dont really matter, the evo is 4 cylinder too

[–]rottdog 4 points5 points ago

yeah but the power to weight ratio on that one is higher than a veyron

[–]abithozak 16 points17 points ago

Dammit, I knew I should have posted this as a link instead of a comment

[–]funnynickname 1 point2 points ago

With all that karma you could have bought one in the reddit store. Damn!

[–]accidentpronehiker 32 points33 points ago

Oh shit! Repost strikes back!

[–]MonstarDeluxe 5 points6 points ago

Done torn up the Kessel Run, son.

[–]Kasuli 2 points3 points ago

I know want to buy a track and name it Kessel Run.

[–]schplat 5 points6 points ago

I now, right?

[–]RikF 6 points7 points ago

No, you later.

[–]elude107 -1 points0 points ago

Try to make it less than 39 lightyears long.

[–]sukun 2 points3 points ago

some of you guys should know him through Speedhunters. cheers!

[–]jzkornbluh 9 points10 points ago

Must be meeting up with this guy

[–]Hero_of_Hyrule 2 points3 points ago

Wow full circle... This picture was posted earlier today, with the Vader pic in the comments, now it's the other way around.

[–]gilliants 1 point2 points ago

I personally think this is better than Batman in the Lamborghini.

[–]am_animator 1 point2 points ago

donno why, but that looks like phoenix.

[–]Raxony 1 point2 points ago

OH SITH!

[–]3x3Eyes 1 point2 points ago

[–]m-p-3 1 point2 points ago

[–]amadea56 6 points7 points ago

Episode IV: A new repost.

[–]Reddit_User_745 2 points3 points ago

Do any of these guys look at the fucking road when they're driving?

[–]alahos 4 points5 points ago

Targeting computer, brah.

[–]sml6174 2 points3 points ago

[–]pancakeTRAIN 0 points1 point ago

[–]thisissonecessary 0 points1 point ago

The only way this could be better is if he were flanked on each side by a black Mini Cooper.

[–]rattmann316 0 points1 point ago

I find your lack of automatic transmission... disturbing.

[–]pdmcmahon -3 points-2 points ago

You know, the spacing between the front and rear axles is about 2 meters wide. Just sayin'

[–]baitingforyears -2 points-1 points ago
