Ariel has revealed the latest incarnation of its minimalist Atom. As the suffix implies, the 3.5 version is a development of the Atom 3 and it features both technical and cosmetic updates.
A revised chassis incorporates tweaks previously seen on the Mugen Limited Edition and V8-powered models, which means improved torsional rigidity and stiffness. To help make the most of those changes, the dampers have been recalibrated and there are different engine mounts.
Visually, the Atom 3.5 is identifiable by its new twin projector headlights and the used of LEDs for the indicators and rear lights. There is also a slightly restyled bonnet section, plus a new LCD instrument display that can be augmented by a data logger for track use.
Power continues to come from a 2.0 litre Honda iVTEC that develops 245 bhp (182 kW / 248 PS) in normally-aspirated form, or 315 bhp (234 kW / 319 PS) when equipped with the optional supercharger.
