"It's so quick it can destroy your entire face." It is this line that has made me want an Ariel Atom since this video came out.

Just had a passenger ride in one of these today at a "Drivers day" event, I drove the Lambo Gallardo, Ferrari F430 and Aston DB9, all great but this thing was just incredible.. only thing I can compare it to is "Rita queen of speed at Alton Towers", but faster !!

@peterwawoczny575 10 лет назад

Me and my daughter where watching this clip the other day laughing at his face blowing around!! Actually saw an Atom driving through Lancaster, that's what made me think of it.....and as for Rita...if that's true it really must be a fun as it looks!!!

@simonkitchin1538 10 лет назад

It's awesome Peter.. couldn't stop laughing all the way around the track, think it might be going on my Christmas list to drive one next time

@peterwawoczny575 10 лет назад

Awww wicked, sounds bloody amazing, and what a thrill it must be, reckon better to be driven around first time by someone who really knows how it handles, bet it was a blast, might have to look into it myself, what track was it at?

@simonkitchin1538 10 лет назад

Peter Wawoczny Think you're right about the passenger ride, the pro got way more out of it than I could, think he forgot where the brake pedal was :-) The Drivers Day was by Everyman racing at Elvington airfield near York but they have quite a few venues around the UK... best to keep an eye out on Groupon etc as there's often some very good deals

That thing is just amazing. I would love to get one and just go crazy with it. The Ariel Atom V8 is just absolutely insane. Weird that they used a Honda CBR600RR instead a 1000 of some sort. I'm positive that a Honda CBR1000RR, Yamaha YZF-R1, Suzuki GSX-R1000 or Kawasaki ZX-10R would give that a run for it's money, especially if you throw a full exhaust and power commander on the bike.

@SvenTviking 10 лет назад

The lined it up against a 600cc bike cos a 1000 would beat it. Indeed, Clarkson makes a comment about a ZX10 which I suspect they tried first, and which won, cos those things are animals.

@boiledelephant 10 лет назад

I doubt a 1000cc would do better, given how small the Top Gear track is. 1000cc bikes just aren't as nimble around a little circuit; a 600cc 2-stroke is as good as you'll get for tight corners like that. Anyway, they wouldn't need to cheat; the basic physics add up. A car can exert more downforce and corner faster because it's got much more surface area and more tire touching the road. In road cars this is all for naught because they've got a high centre of gravity, huge heavy bodywork and a lot of air resistance, but this thing follows the Formula 1 design principles, and power-for-power, those will always make something that's faster round corners than a comparable bike. But I agree that it's not as exciting. Formula 1 is the fastest thing on tarmac, and it's like watching paint dry; bikes are visually and physically exciting in a way that something you sit down in can't really be.

@nikobellic1995pan 10 лет назад

i am sorry but you are wrong they compaired the 4cylinder atom with a 600cc bike and the v8 atom with a 1000cc bike because this way it is fair

@lijax9606 5 лет назад

@@boiledelephant bike corner speed are limited no matter how good they are, a motor gp race bike can't even beat that in a corner, but overall it has better acceleration on a straight line

I don't understand why you're getting so many thumbs down, you're completely right. Comparing a 600 to a car that's supposedly faster than a Ferrari Enzo is ridiculous. At the very least I would compare it a road-going litre bike, if not a GP bike or one of those tuned superstocks they race in WSBK.

Err.. let's get couple of things straight. As a quite experienced motorcyclist, I know a few things. Actually, people do (quite often) ride 1000cc sportsbikes on roads, since they can do the job of a daily commuter quite well (you can check out some motovlogger's channels if you want bit of more explanation, like BaronVonGrumble, he rides a GSXR 1000 and CBR1000RR). Also, we're talking about a good comparison to ARIEL ATOM, a hardcore track day toy, not VW Golf.
