The Ariel Atom is already known for its lightweight construction and raw performance, but Ricky Adams’ heavily modified machine takes things to another level. Packing a turbocharged Honda K20 engine producing more than 1000HP into a car weighing just 650 kg, this stripped-back road rocket delivers a power-to-weight ratio that sounds almost impossible. With drag-racing hardware, custom suspension and serious performance upgrades, it is built for speed rather than comfort.

The first drive quickly turns into an unforgettable experience, as the enormous boost arrives and the lightweight Atom fights for traction. Even experienced drivers struggle to describe its explosive acceleration and unpredictable behaviour. Could this extraordinary machine really be one of the fastest cars in the UK? One thing becomes clear during the drive: this is no ordinary performance car.! Just watch the video below to see the footages and follow us also on Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram!
