What Can I Expect

Why split the Atoms when you can drive both on this Battle of the Atoms! It's road car vs race car on this double Ariel Atom challenge. You'll be driving one after the other, to see which version of this supercharged pocket-rocket you prefer (don't worry you're allowed to love both!).

Let's see if you can handle the power of the Atom. The road going Atom boasts impressive statistics. It might 'only' have 325bhp, but it's incredible power to weight ratio means this supercharged Atom goes off like a bullet from traffic lights, reaching 60mph from standing in just 2.8 seconds. That's fast.

The race going Atom pushes the envelope of driving even further. It has a full roll cage, the motorsport spec fuel tank and has been upgraded and tweaked all over to be race worthy. The kerb weight stays the same (just 550kg), so what does all that mean for the performance? You'll find out for yourself during your Battle of the Atoms, but expect an even more responsive steering, a stiffer ride and less understeer in this rear wheel drive beast.

Whilst the road going model of the Atom was already pretty bonkers, the race car version take the craziness to an even higher level. The car was developed to be raced in the single series Ariel Atom Cup. Can you imagine 20 Atom Cups all battling it out on the circuit at once? Madness.

Both Atoms are a real challenge to master, even on an empty track. You'll need your wits about you as you literally fly out of the pit lane. The handling is awesome and made all the more exhilarating by the fact that you're just inches off the floor. And when it comes to cornering? It's just so ridiculous you won't know whether to scream in fear or laugh in sheer delight.

We are offering two Battle of the Atoms experiences for you. You can pick the Blast, which gives you three-miles of driving in each car, or extend to the Thrill for six-miles of atomic Atom driving. And in both cases, you're treated to a passenger lap in a high-speed performance car too.
