The Stig tested the Ariel Atom 4R on the Top Gear test track and showed why it’s a street-legal F1 car. Power comes from a Civic Type R-sourced turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine making 395 hp and 370 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
On the suspension side of things, it boasts the standard Atom pushrod system, but with Ohlins TTX36 dampers, designed and valved specifically for the Atom 4R with a choice of optimized Ohlins springs for road or track use. There are also machined aluminum uprights with aero section wishbones and pushrods that reduce both unsprung weight as well as drag. It can also be equipped with a full track timing system, complete with video. How much? The base model will set you back at least $83,750 USD.

We continue to strive to evolve the Atom as the ultimate driver’s car, whether on road or track. The 4R follows in the footsteps of the amazing Atom 3.5R and yet again moves the story on. This really is an astonishing car of which we’re justifiably proud,” said Henry Siebert-Saunders, Director of Ariel.
