Wish I could! Man that thing is a work of art! Eddie, a question for you. Simple, middle class man over here. Do you think finding a used one for around 35k would be possible (street legal)? Until that day comes, I'll live vicariously through your videos haha!

Is this a 3S? Thought they come standard with full wind shield now?

I think it would be highly unlikely that you could buy an undamaged streetable Atom any time soon, at anywhere near that price range, which is one of the reasons an Atom is a relatively good investment. They just do not depreciate much. Owners rarely ever lose anywhere near the same amount of money when they resell, as they do with less desirable (and mass produced) cars.

So the entry requirement remains relatively high, but the rewards (and resale value) are great!

No, sir this one is unique, and not a 3S.

I ordered this one to be a maximum performance and maximum traction Atom, but at a minimum price, to make it a bit easier to buy now, with the possibility of adding other options later, if desired. TMI tells me they will not repeat this configuration, so this one is "one of one", so to speak.

Yeah that's what I figured. I'll just keep saving in the meantime. Until then I'll keep my eyes open as the other exoskeleton kit cars just don't do it for me.

New Turbo Atom ready to ship to your door!

Thanks for looking!

Eddie

No waiting for this one. It is available now, and waiting at TMI to be shipped to a lucky buyer.

And if you would like to see a new 2016 Turbocharged Atom in person, I have my new demonstrator/company car here in Wichita Falls, Texas. I will be happy to show it to you, if you will get in touch with me to set up an appointment time that will work.

Thanks for the interest,

Hey Eddie,

Can you provide specs on this Ariel and a summary of how it's different than a 3S ?? Also, can it be fitted with a sequential gearbox ?? If so, how much extra would that cost ??

Thanks.

Thanks.

Certainly, glad to.

This new 2016 Ariel has:

The factory turbocharged K24Z7 engine, 2354cc., factory rated at 365 HP
Honda six-speed synchromesh transaxle with limited slip differential
Uprated clutch to handle the extra Horsepower
Sidepods that house the intercooler radiator on one side, and additional engine cooling with an auxiliary radiator on the other side
Road Race Lighting kit, needed for street use, but easily removable for track use
Passenger footrest (a very nice addition for passenger comfort, as hard as this car accelerates, turns, and stops!)
205/50/15 Toyo R888 front tires
245/40/17 Toyo R888 rear tires !

I had this car built for maximum performance and traction, but at a minimum price, and TMI tells me they will not build another like this.

The 3S model has about $10,000 more options, including a full windshied, adjustable dampers, and Alcon brake calipers.

This car is already finished and tested, so we would not take it back apart to fit a sequential gearbox on this one. That option, which I understand adds about $35,000. to the price, would need to be specified on the initial build.

Thanks for your inquiry.
