ariel atom v8 - 500hp

[foodstampz]

what is the point o the two littl pieces of plexiglass in front of driver. thats not going to add any sort of safety

[steveneinstein]

@foodstampz It adjusts the air flow...

[DK101GT]

Thums up if its the first time in ages you've heard ABBA's "Dancing Queen"

..:-)

[penfold357007]

Quit sniffing!!!! Arrrrrr

[dejanira2]

ever kear of klenix

[SprucePlywood]

0 bhp in this one when filmed...

[Chris02LS1ss]

someone put a v8 in this thing??? scary fast i bet

[Dettengines]

@Chris02LS1ss yeah the factory did.

[sliceofjam100]

How much would one of these go for, 700 grand?

[cyberslick18]

@sliceofjam100 Bout a 100 grand.

[BritishArmyPfc]

@sliceofjam100 They ACTUALLY go for about 25,000 GBP, or 45,000 US Dollars

[MyBoogeryBooger]

@BritishArmyPfc no thats the normal one... with the mugen engine. this one has the 3liter v8.

[moparfan54]

Dude, really?? Sucking snot on your video aint cool.

[devilutionagain]

YAWN! So what. Lets see what it does.

[rakman88]

Sounds like you're taking a hoot of coke off a stripper's ass when I should be hearing that engine crank over.

[toadx8u]

the company that makes the engine is Hartly Enterprises....its a custom crank and V8 block they designed to use the internals of the Hayabusa engine here is their website.... h1v8(dot)com

[roffy89]

ppppprity sure thats a honda engine dude not a v8

[superandy456]

@roffy89 Its both its two honda hyabusa engines put together to make a V8

[roffy89]

@superandy456 what? hyabusa is made by suzuki, and how do you just strap two straight 4s together to make a v8? bit wierd

[Jtibbaxpb]

@roffy89 never seen this before but i know engines, it looks like instead of one cylinder block over the crank they have 2 at an angle and they both share the same crank. pretty cool stuff

[superandy456]

@superandy456 Yeh sorry I kinda of forget but yeh basically V8 atom is two haybusa engiens not sure how they do it tbh. but the three other atoms have honda civic egines, from a type S with 180 hp a type R with 180 hp or a type R supercharged with 300 all putting, (or something like that) but yeh the V8 is sort of a different car to the normal atom its about 5 times the price and insanely fast.

[TheAsh1197]

dude i really want one of these

[danyhighmonster]

lol i saw the skull

[codymannthedestroyer]

I'll take 2

[chrisminer29]

looks like batman started doing meth...

[chrisminer29]

looks like batman started doing meth...

[MYdogKILO]

ill take one ...



[ruskeee]

that's a nice go-kart

[inagod]

always blow your nose,instead of sniffing every 30 seconds.

[nathenandrew]

That is fucking "Dancing queen", in the background, at the beginning.....

[mozaks80]

@nathenandrew: Playing just for you... :)

[nathenandrew]

@mozaks80 see that girl watch that scene diggin the dancing queen. if you think about it the song is relevant. the ariel atom v8 is the dancing queen of cars.

[mozaks80]

@nathenandrew: To say the car can 'dance' is relevant in some circles, but it's no 'queen' lol That honour goes to the [insert name of feminine handbag accessory car here]

[nathenandrew]

@mozaks80 Most people agree that cars are women. If the car can "dance", and if its good a "dancing" it apt to call her dancing queen. You wouldn't call the female winner "The King" of anything, I think your thinking of the term queen as a metaphor for girly, feminine, or gay. But gays and women tend to move very sexually, and so does this car so either way Dancing Queen is a good name. At least I think so.......

[mozaks80]

@nathenandrew: True, and calling an inanimate 'object' just like ships and even nations by a feminite type of name seems common too. Whatever the case, I just want to drive one!

[alabala327]

Dear santa...

[danelio]

its so ugly. but it works

[M5000thesdgversion]

@danelio That is not ugly, that's the perfect display of aerodynamics and well engineered parts that come together to make a superior car.

[danelio]

@M5000thesdgversion nicely said. ;) , its not ugly, i was joking.

[flinchey]

@M5000thesdgversion front tyres smaller than rear tyres, would understeer if you take it a little too hot into a corner. square it off and it'd be unbelievably perfect. it's set up like that to be safe on the street.

[nikolas1925]

Here you can see it rolling ...watch?v=e9ocy9SUYg0&feature­=related

[Draxindustries1]

[bostourn]

[jackspoorwijk]

[groscave23]

five minutes and don't start to hear the sound.....you might have a great car but this is pretty useless.... 30 second would have been enough.

[FiliPINOdEviL112417]

Nice car. But the main thing I want to say about the video is: BLOW YOUR NOSE!

[FREEHANDILLUSTRATOR]

[xav1uz]

[potheadpickle]

Sounds like ABBA and Mama Mia are playing in the background. O.o

[sandstrom1994]

@potheadpickle

No, but Dancing Queen by ABBA

[alexaoo]

is that a carbon fiber floor too ?!??!?!

[xXning3nXx]

@alexaoo Nope, just an insert, looks like textured rubber

[MsH1h1h1h1]

lol snif

[krypton5]

Its got a sequential gearbox in it fitted with paddle shift. Its not an auto box hence the clutch pedal. You need the clutch to pull away and stop. 

[DopeSoundKokane]

Blow your nose.

[Triple88a]

@DopeSoundKokane "SHADUP HES CRYING"

[AFowkingPanda]

@DopeSoundKokane he was takeing in the "new car smell"

[Pip2andahalf]

@AFowkingPanda LOL

[matty2k001]

I think he needs to apply the clutch to downshift.

[Twankiejones]

i think pedal shifter cars need clutches to start and stop

[driftking11013]

does that have a clutch?

[Nopiw]

@driftking11013 v8 version has pedal shifter on the steering wheel

[driftking11013]

@Nopiw then why is there 3 pedals... look at 2:40

[Nopiw]

@driftking11013 good question! maybe just a footrest, but it does look like a pedal

[MarkieBhoy17]

@driftking11013 clutch brake gas

[driftking11013]

@MarkieBhoy17 so you have to depress the clutch.. and click the f1 style gear box?.. never seen that before
