Superbike thrills from a car

With a 0-60 time of 2.3 seconds, the Ariel Atom V8 goes is the only car that can truly rival superbikes for speed and acceleration.

The Ariel Atom V8 is "the ultimate car for wind-in-the-hair motoring", says Tom Phillips in AutoExpress. "With no doors or roof, the standard Honda-powered Atom is one of the most extreme cars money can buy.

But now Ariel has gone one step further, with a limited production run of 25 Atoms powered by a V8 engine." That makes the performance "seriously brisk": 0-62mph takes less than 2.3 seconds, with 100mph from rest taking just 5.4 seconds. The top speed is 170mph, stretching to 200mph in race set-up. In short, this is one of "the most extreme cars ever built".
