You're looking at this car here and thinking we've made some sort of horrible typo in the headline of this video that can't be an all new atom.

But it is so new, in fact, that the only carry over parts are the fuel filler cap.

The pedal box, the steering wheel on the top six inches of the steering column.

That's it.

Theme.

Big headline is here a new engine still a Honda, but now the two litre turbo and six speed manual from the current civic type R producing up to 320 brake horsepower on £310.

Feet of talk.

Wait is up a bit to 595 kilograms, but power to weight ratio is still a frankly terrifying 538 horsepower per tonne.

North 60 takes 2.8 seconds, not to 106.8 on top.

Speed is 162 miles an hour if you think you're hard enough, but here's the really clever bit when you feel like not hurting yourself.

You can dial down the turbo boost with this switch here from 1.3 Barton or 0.6 bar to North Point free bar that roughly equates tow 320 horsepower, 290 horsepower or 220 horsepower.

And as you turned down the violence, you also turned down the Darth Vader sucking noises coming from the intake behind your head.

And there's more because the new engine is bigger and required a new rear section of the chassis.

Ariel took the opportunity to go through the whole lot, thickening up the steel tubes, rethinking the suspension designed to give it a more settled, grown up feel on dhe, optimizing the aerodynamics to the point where only shaving your head and legs would improve things further.

Climbing into an atom has always been a bit of an adventure, and that's no different here.

In fact, these seats, even lower than they once were on the sides, are a little bit higher, so you're Maur cocooned than ever, But the frame is wider, so there is a tiny bit more space.

And get this no more fumbling around with that annoying little key fob thing that you need to disarm the immobilizer with.

No, now you just put the key form in your pocket, and it does it automatically future.

We've got our harnesses here.

I won't put it on because you probably don't have two minutes to spare.

And the seats?

Yes, plastic seats, which are actually quite comfortable.

As comfortable as you could reasonably expect plastic seats to be, anyway.

And would you look at this in front of me?

A proper color screen?

Yes, with lots of knobs to play with, including this one seven stage traction control.

Be careful with that.

And down here, automatic headlights in an Ariel atom, whatever.

Next day you gotta love the atom, haven't you?

20 years on, and it's still unlike anything else out there.

Yeah, the Bac Mono delivers the same uncompromising thrills you could say, but that cost three times as much.

This starts from under 40 grand, so long as you don't get too frisky with the options list.
