Ariel Atom Price finally revealed! plus some extras!
New Ariel Atom 3 Pricing Unveiled - GTSPIRIT.COM
One of the best road-legal track cars is the Ariel Atom. For die hard trackday junkies it holds the most fun! This ultimate track car is now available for $49,980. For that price you get a sheet metal body shell with four wheels with brakes, two seats and a steering wheel. Oh yes, it also includes a 219hp Honda K20 engine connected to a six-speed transmission.
The base model is equipped with PBR single-piston floating brakes, double unequal-length wishbone suspension, limited-slip differential, Bilstein non-adjustable shocks, a cast alloy quick-ratio rack and pinion steering system, and composite body panels. As an option you can get a Wilwood or Alcon brake systems, adjustable shock absorbers, a quick-release system for the steering wheel, carbon fiber body work, magnesium Dymag wheels, and several other accessories.
Performance figures are not new to us all. Just to give heads up the Atom 3 is capable of a 0-60mph run in under 3.0 seconds and a 0-100-0 run under 11 seconds. That’s fast!

DDMWorks 430 HP Ariel Atom
Press Release
430HP DDMWorks Twin-charged Ariel Atom Provides Incredible Power to Weight in a Small Package.
Piedmont, SC January 22nd, 2010 – The introduction of the DDMWorks Twin-charged kit for the Ariel Atom provides a powerful setup combining the best attributes of turbocharging and supercharging for one of the most fun cars on the road. Power to weight ratio is the name of the game here, and the twin-charged Atom has only 3.4 lbs per horsepower, a better power to weight ratio than a Bugatti Veyron or an Enzo Ferrari.
With the unique combination of both a supercharger and a turbocharger you get power on tap from the moment you touch
the throttle and that power keeps going all the way to redline. The Twin-charge kit is carefully tuned to deliver maximum
horsepower, while also keeping drivability and engine safety in mind. This combination of power, drivability and safety makes the DDMWorks Twin-Charged Kit unlike any other power adder on the market for the Ariel Atom.
The boost for the Twin-charged kit for the 2.0L LSJ ECOtec is accomplished with a Borg-Warner S256 Turbocharger working together with a Harrop HTV1320-LSJ. The Harrop HTV1320 supercharger uses Eaton's TVS (Twin Vortices Series) highly efficient rotor assemblies. This TVS technology is also used on the new Corvette ZR1 supercharger, and dramatically increases the efficiency of the supercharger. Boost control for the entire system is handled by a HKS electronic boost controller, Synapse blow off valve and wastegate. All the exhaust exits through a custom made 3" magnaflow exhaust. Tubing, manifolds and tuning for making the entire system work together is done in house by DDMWorks.
Power output is raised substantially from 230hp in the stock Ariel Atom to 375HP+ at the wheels, a gain of 145HP. Base price for the twin-charged Ariel Atom upgrade starts at $6,500 USD installed with the TVS based systems and larger gains available with other options and configurations. The Twin-charged Ariel Atom upgrade is currently available with installation and tuning done onsite at our facility in South Carolina.

I would like to have one, but I think I would take a Lotus Elise over an Atom if I was spending my own $45k. Sure, the performance isn't the same, but the Elise is better looking (IMO) and I really am spoiled by things like bodywork, a heater, and a windshield. If it was just a track day/cruise toy, that's another story, although it would still be hard for me to pick an Atom over a Caterham for track days.
