Thread: Ariel Atom 3 Pricing Unveiled

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.

saw this yesterday & was hoping there would be some discussion on this here.

I wanna know what the bare bones rolling chassis costs and what it takes to make one of these street legal in Texas.

I see these as an awesome alternative to guys who don't feel like riding a death with crotch rocket but can still be wickedly just as fun. I know this an open top, light as hell, pretty much race car but I wonder how well they'd actually hold up in a wreck?

The Ariel is a cool little car/thing. Didn't they sell for 70K a few years ago?

That's for a base model. A lot of guys opt for an upgraded brake package, the supercharged engine, adjustable dampers, a rollbar, a lighting kit, and so on. Pretty easy to quickly throw on $15K+ in options.

And still be the best darn money ever spent.

man, those look so fun, I want to drive one

its legal in tx...know a couple that run around the houston area in one.

^ I think its legal in Ontario, I was talking to an owner of one at a car show and he said he drove it on the street. Oh and it had plates as well.

CA legal?

Yes, CA legal. Needs SB100 smog exemption.
