philia SG Ariel Atom is a British car that is being sold from under 20,000 pounds up to 35,000 pounds. Engine iVTEC 4 Cylinder (lifted from Honda Civic Type-R and supercharged) Displacement: 1998cc Power: 220BHP @8200rpm Torque: [email protected] 6100rpm Weight: 456 kg 6 Speed Close ratio Ariel came up 2nd to Enzo when it was lapped in TopGear. A few comments from professional car reviewer Jeremy Clarkson: "If you could change gear fast enough, it would do 0 - 60mph in 2.9 seconds" "It's so quick, it could destroy your entire face" It's available in the States but considering the number of SUVs in my county, this little car here would get squashed by some ladies driving their Hummers while on their cellphones. Now I just wonder if Singapore would allow this machine.
Kr0n SG Well, at least it's a RHD to start with Given it's 30,000 pound pricetag though, if you were to give a rough estimate, I'm guessing that it would come up to somewhere around the range of 280-320,000SGD when it arrives here
philia SG It's only for special occasion for me to lap it in Malaysia. Of course I would have a more practical car for commuting.
[email protected] SG philia come here! this car is best driven in its home country. Singapore will never allow such a car anyway. Y do u think UK has a thriving kit car industry?
Kuali Baba SG I still vividly remember the fats on Clarkson's face rippling in huges fold as he accelerated the bugger. "My mouth is full of flies! But I've never had so much fun in a road car! Ahahahahaha!"
alexkusu SG wow..is that car really fast? I saw it being exhibited in my local shopping mall.. paid no heed to it
[email protected] SG wear raincoat. did u see that advert for press free pants? this guy in a business suits drives an ariel atom. it gets dirty, he goes to a laundrette, takes his pants off, gets it washed and then it comes out straight as new and he puts it on and goes on his merry way.
