Video: James May on the Ariel Atom V8


The latest Ariel Atom Sport 500 hp from the supercharged 3.0-liter V8, but it weighs only 1,200 pounds. That adds up to about 900 hp per tonne, a ratio that is nothing to shame by a lotus, a Bugatti Veyron. Sounds riveting, and Top Gear James May had the honor of the exercise of the super fast machine in a very thorough manner.

Beyond the jump is 12 minutes from TG goodness with the Ariel Atom 500th Not only can its way to the atom, he then track day superstar against a Lexus LFA and a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera in a race from zero to 100 and back to zero. The super-atom then thundered round the TG test track in a one-on-one battle against the BMW S1000 RR, and of course, was handed over to the Stig for the proper performance lap. Hit the jump to look at the wedding of Top Gear Ariel Atom and the 500th
