The Ariel Atom shot to fame thanks to Top Gear but is the Ariel Nomad the best drivers car in the world ? Able to perform to the highest standards off-road and delivery race car performance on road. The Ariel Nomad really is the jack of all trades. Powered by a Supercharged Honda Civic Type R engine Producing 300 horsepower and a kerb weight of just 1100kg of a recipe for a lot of fun. Oh and it has no driver assistance at all. Who needs ABS and traction control ?!

Oh Pete..... I've driven an Atom around Oulton Park, they're loud & lively, mental quick, easy to place, just mad fun... but not a daily! We had a Nomad where I used to work & it was more grown up, more "useable", so the Atom is the weekend garage car & the Nomad is your daily 😂

I've never even seen an Nomad in the wild, but from the descriptinons and feelings portrayed here they must give you the same thrills and sensations as a high performing off-road motorcycle. Lots of instant power, suspension that tackels anything and a big smile on your face.

@mossman2003 Жыл бұрын

Ped, another great video!. Can't get enough of that supercharger whine! I had an MEV Rocket Kit car (Atom-a-like) for a bit and the worst thing about it was keeping it clean - the amount of exposed surface area on the chassis tubes. Taking the Nomad off road would see that issue multiplied, but I would guess that the adrenaline and fun factor would also be multiplied!. Definitely a 2nd or 3rd car though. (A garage something like: 911 GTS daily, new M2 as an alternative daily and track weapon, and a Nomad (or Atom) just for a blast!).Keep up the great content!

Absolutely superb review, I’m glad there are still companies out there making cars like these. I have been taken around dunsfold track in a Aton, not only was the acceleration mind blowing but it was the braking capability and how fast it cornered, it made the drive home in my at the time car a VX220 Turbo feel slow and as comfortable as a big Mercedes.

Hi PP, what a absolute Weapon, I love a Supercharged Engine, the sound is awesome, much better than any Turbo any day of the week , in my opinion. One of your very best videos PP, the Excitement came across so well. Yes I too would have one after watching you having so much fun with it. "Driving God" You nicked that saying from Richard Hammond from an episode of TG, James & Jeremy took the wee wee out of him for saying that. Yes PP you must get your hands on one again and take it off road, now that would be something to see.👍😁

I've driven an Atom on Elvington Airfield, absolutely bonkers quick, the torque it pulls in 5th gear means you only need to change down from 6th to 5th for most corners, especially as it is so placeable, hitting the apex is easy as you can see the front wheel so you can carry some fast speed through even tight chicanes. Biggest problem I had with the Atom was having to wear a helmet because it had no windscreen, so you lost peripheral vision so I kept having to look down and across for the gearbox

Forget the car even though it was awesome. I am so jealous you had a Grifter I always wished for one but I did get a shot on one as I knew somebody that had one and he gave it to me for a short while but sadly it never appeared from Santa. It's a sad day in the Brown household as our Welsh Working Cocker Spaniel who was a month short of 14 was put down at the vets last night. We knew it was coming as the vet a week ago gave him steroids and pain killers to allow us a last week relatively pain free with him but it is hard for us and our Jack Russell is really missing him. On a brighter note off to order a new EMTB in the morning so for every cloud etc.
