Well it seems like the team at Ariel are and they're currently working on producing this beast with a 2.4L V8, and with it still likely to weigh in around 500kg, the power to weight ratio is out-of-this-world.
So how much would you expect to pay for this beast & when can you get your hands on one? Well after just hanging up the phone from the Ariel office in the UK, the word from them is around 100,000 pounds sterling which is around $218,000AUD before taking into account import costs, taxes etc. With the compliancing process for the Ariel Atom 2 still yet to be completed, will we ever see one of these on our shores? Don't hold your breath, but isn't it still nice to dream?
So what to you think - is this going to be another dream machine Australia will miss out on? And if so, how disappointed will you be?
