New 525bhp Ariel Atom announced to celebrate 25th anniversary
The new ‘Atom 4RR’ will be most powerful and exclusive Atom ever created and will feature a bespoke version of the turbocharged Honda 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. With a host of internal changes and new components, as well as optimised oil and fuel systems, the new motor has delivered 525bhp and 550Nm on the engine dyno. Built on the platform of the Atom 4R, the special model will be made-to-order and limited to a maximum of 25 examples.
The circuit-focused model will enable the most serious track drivers to explore the limits of the lightweight Atom, while utilising the full extent of their driving skills. Technical specification and pricing of the Atom 4RR will be announced later this year.
The car celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Ariel Atom, which revolutionised the British sports car market when it launched in 2000 at the turn of the Millennium. The ‘blank sheet of paper’ approach that resulted in the Atom delivered a totally fresh take on performance through light weight and simple but high-quality design and engineering.
For 25 years, the company has built a reputation for delivering performance, quality, innovation and a highly engaging, analogue driving experience. Building on its dramatically fresh approach to sports car design, Ariel evolved the Atom through four generations – and now the Atom 4RR – while retaining the essential ingredients that only an Ariel can deliver.
2025 is also the 25th anniversary of the modern day ‘Ariel Motor Company’, building on a 154-year-old history dating back to 1871 and the very first Ordinary or ‘Penny Farthing’ bicycle, the world’s first series production vehicle.
