“Each and every Atom is unique to its owner”
Sunday Times
The Atom is a truly unique car, but we want it to be your car. Tailor made just for you, what you want to do and how you want to drive it. Whether it’s a truly fun road car or the ultimate track weapon an Atom can be configured to your own exact and specific requirements.
Choose from upgraded engine power, wheel and tyre packages, damper and brake options, different screens and bodywork, competition parts and a whole host more to make your Atom just that – your Atom. Plus with our guiding hand to ensure the car is exactly right for you. An Ariel isn’t just another car – it’s your car, your Ariel.
No roof, no doors, no cupholders. We really believe less is more, form should follow function. Not just words but the ethos we live by. So we’ve distilled the Atom down to the purest essence of light weight, performance and agility – if you don’t need it we leave it out. But what you do get is meticulously designed, beautifully made and assembled with care and love. An Atom is an incredibly special thing and something we’re justifiably proud of, but above all what we really want to do is put a smile on your face.
