Ariel Atom

Pound for pound, price for performance, there has never been a crazier production sports car than the Ariel Atom – and the new Atom 4 takes things up a notch. With a 320-hp engine, and major revisions throughout the car, you can now get 2.8-seconds-to-60 mph performance for around US$53,000.

The JayDee Atom 600 began life as 245 hp Ariel Atom III but with a custom-built Honda engine how produces 594 hp on E85 pump fuel at the rear wheels and the whole car with a near full tank of gas, weighs 701 kg.
