Ariel Atom 3
What do you think is the most fashionable or the most expensive car in the world? Well, at least four wheels, a body with some kind of roof, at least two doors, a powerful engine, an original and modern design and a huge number of different options.
Actually, that's how most people on the planet think of him. But, as they say, everyone has their own taste. Perhaps, for someone, the car is presented as a combination of several soft steel pipes, two seats and four wheels. As well as a steering wheel and a pair of pedals. Everything. This is both the exterior and the interior of the car.
You may ask, but what about the doors and glass? But why? They have no effect on the chassis, which means they are a completely unnecessary addition to the ideal car.
This is exactly what the Ariel Atom 3 looks like. But, as you know, the car will not go if it is not equipped with a good engine. And this car drives, and it drives pretty fast. The lightweight small car is equipped with a two-liter four-cylinder K20Z engine, capable of accelerating from a static position to one hundred kilometers per hour in 11 seconds. This machine is controlled, so to speak, using a six-speed manual transmission.
When boarding this unit, you have to step on the seat, so it would be nice to use a doormat before entering.
Of course, some physical training is required, but even a little experience using the Ariel Atom 3 allows you to get used to such an original way of getting into the car. And anyway, as long as it stands still, it seems like some kind of child's toy. But this effect disappears as soon as a powerful engine roars and the car takes off.
The originality of the design makes us think about the method of setting the car in motion. It's certainly not going to be the usual thing of putting a key in the ignition.
Indeed, to start the car, you need to press the large red plastic button located outside, and then, as in an airplane, move the lever. Of course, this is not a very usual procedure right away, but just a few attempts, and you will perform these actions automatically.
As for the power characteristics, if you do not look at its unusual appearance, it is quite comparable with a number of representatives such as the Honda K.
Traveling on this car can not be called comfortable. Every hole, every pebble on the road is clearly felt by passengers. In addition, each element of the structure feels good when moving at speed: both the movement of the pusher rod and the gear rack from the steering mechanism. It is impossible to restrain laughter from such a ride, but the feeling of fear does not leave the passengers of the Ariel Atom 3.
This car is characterized not only by fast acceleration, but also by quite gentle braking, well, as much as the design of the car allows.
The Ariel Atom 3 has an additional high-handling suspension, which, by the way, does not exceed $ 455, and Yokohama A048 225/45/16 tires are also used.
If you really can't without a windshield, you will have it installed. It performs only one function- protection from small debris and sand. as an alternative to glass, you can use a durable helmet, although it is better to use it anyway.
The price of this design marvel is no less impressive than the car itself – no less than 82695 dollars.
The Ariel Atom 3 is not the only one of its kind. A similar design with a similar price is the Lotus Elise. However, when driving these cars, the difference is felt more than significant.
Do you need such a car? It's hard to say. This is clearly not a car for everyone. And the manufacturer does not expect a mass sale of such machines. But if you want, and most importantly, you can bring a little fairy tale to your gray everyday life, then Ariel Atom 3 is what you need. CSGORUN
