Starting at 50 kph, my point is that there still should be a lapse in which the Atom run ahead, remember the 0-100 in both cars. No matter, it's only a tip.
The average semi truck runs around 650whp and takes over 20 seconds to get to 60 miles an hour. The M1A2 Abrams MBT has about 1500hp and only goes 45 miles per hour.
It's not about power, you have to take several more things into account if you really want a fast car.
gaz0044: yes, that's true. But not even in the first rush, still under 100kph, Atom shows his amazing sprint... I think the only fact could perhaps explain it is that both cars were with passengers, an advantage for the one with more HP. Or (again), that Atom wasn't really doing his best. Nice "rolling start" anyway.
"50-300km/h"? Atom 300 doesn't reach 300kph, not even 260, so what kind of "race" is this? By other way, Atom 0-100=2.7s , Carrera 0-100=4.0s... are you sure the Atom's driver was racing?
@geuvsa This was a rolling start, so the 0-100 time doesn't really count so much. It's a "race" between two cars in a rolling start - not sure what's hard to understand about that?
@carGT222 I saw the videos!But i didnt see any standing start race! :)
I didnt want to convience you that the 997 turbo is faster than the enzo in overall comparison,but the fact is that the 997 turbo pdk needs for 0-400m (1/4Mile) 10.7secs while the enzo needs for 0-400 11 seconds!
Thats the best times those two car have achieved for a 0-400m race.A 0.3 seconds gap is not a small gap for 0-400m!
Enzo does 0-100 kmh in 3.5 seconds and within after that is from 0-100-200 kmh and that only takes 6 seconds for a total of 0-200 kmh in 9.5 seconds.
Porsche 997.2 Turbo S takes 0-100 kmh in 3.0 seconds and within after that is from 0-100-200 kmh and that takes 7.5 seconds for a total of 10.5 seconds.
so pretty much you could tell how much faster the enzo is
these are the official numbers and has nothing to do with"wheel spin"
I think the power to weight helps the car kicking off quickly, The bugatti veyron for example : 1001 hp and 4470lbs = 0.22 hp/lbs, just like the power to weight of the Atom : 0.22 hp/lbs.
0-100 km in the bugatti is quicker than the atom : 2.5 sec against 2.7 sec, and the top speed is incomparable ...
To sum up, A fast acceleration is garanteed with a good power to weight ratio, but the top speed is higher with more power.
@safuanedante agreed, once you start trying to get top speeds, aerodynamics is a huuuuge factor, and as you can tell, the atom doesnt have any, lol. now if you were able to get some good, light weigh panels for it, who knows...
why do people insist on horsepower? anyone who knows anything about physics and mechanics will tell you that torque is the power which pushes you forwards!! so the power 2 weight ratio in Nm/kg is what counts!!
Top speed of Areil is approximately 250 km/h, Porsche - 330 km/h. Idiotic test. It is obvious that on the STRAIGHT LINE Porsche finally will be faster. You should compare them on a race circuit with numerous turning movements
What everyone is forgetting is that the Ariel Atom is meant to literally be a toy. It's not supposed to be something that the average person buys, but something that people with extra money and leisure time to enjoy. And in the end, it is STILL a Honda Type-R engine. So stop all your shenanigans and saying that the Atom is a waste, because it is still a good toy.
for all those that are bragging about how much better the other car is- remember- this is a stock honda civic motor- servicing required at the same time a civic needs and at the same cost
and will run as long as any other civic (ie longer than most people own the same car)
unlike that other pos- throw a new motor in every 12 months and weekly oil changes to get that far
Well...you need BHP for TopSpeed. And torque for acceleration. So its Torque to weight and BHP to aerodynamics.
In corners the weight should be low...but then you need aerodynamics to push the car to the ground otherwise the car will under- or oversteer while going round corners.
But aerodynamics eat the effect of BHP.
And you always need a low centre of mass as well and the right balance...it's all not that simple at least
its not horsepower that matters, its the power to weight ratio. A lot of motorcycles have under 100 hp, but still go off like a rocket because they dont weigh anything
Wrong. At high speeds horsepower counts more than anything. Light and not powerful cars & bikes are fast off the line, but at high end speeds there is so much wind that torque+horsepower is all that counts.
true, hp does matter, but a bike needs alot less hp to get to 200 than a car, it needs probably about the same power/weight ratio though, less even because of less surface area to cause drag
@ncsugray90 if its power to weight ratio that matters then why didnt the atom win? lol it has a higher power to weight ratio. its not just power to weight
very similar power to weight, driver error and aerodynamics were what won this race, and i never said that it was ONLY power to weight, they are just the major components
@Desmonddd2002 "it still only has 300 hp..." do you know what massive BS you are writing there?! an ariel atom would just need ~205hp for the same power/weight-ratio like a CGT... so, aerodynamics and torque is the CGT's key to speed
For conventional drag races you guys are correct it is the Power to weight ratio.
The lighter the car is the better it starts, and the better it speeds up. I can say within 160km/h the Ariel atom could pretty much kick many car's ass.
But when on a rolling start, car accelerate at the 2nd gear, where the Torque and Power plays a more crucial part then weight.
According to top gear the Atom in fact beat Porsche 9ff (Over 900 hp), Murc, ZR6 in a 1/4 mile drag race starting from 0. km/h
On Top Gear track lap times are: Carrera GT 1:19.8 and Atom 1:19.5. It's a minor advantage mate. I don't see how Atom would kill it. If the tack was little longer,with longer finish line,it might be even slight Carrera advantage,so you can't speak of Carrera like it's Suzuki Splash.
1:30 in the mirror, what do's te fucking back end look like to you? its a carrera gt with straight pipe mod! and the interior of the car google it! + it sounds lower inside the car than outside cause of the noise isolation.
yep, along with millions of others... its what many people like to do, including me. Maybe because were assholes. I don't see how it sounds anything like an ultima gtr either.
is obvious atom will lose on the straight because it has less than half of the power ..maybe on the start is a little faster because of the weight but then ,when the speed goes up no chance .
(But in a track will destroy the porsche for sure ).
You dont buy the atom for top speed but for corners speed and for acceleration.Also atom price is 30K that is still affordable ,for this price u just buy the 4 tires of that porsche ..
If by "high end" you mean the speed and not the rev band, then yea the atom is good for low speed stuff, not high speed stuff.
they didnt even show how far back the atom was!
its NOT a fast car at all, its damn quick because its so light, but with such a small amount of power its useless at high speed straits. oversized gokart..
hp/lb can only get u so far with high speed aero.
if this race was from a dig it would be better.
but then again i wouldn't really want to launch my cgt
Porsche Carrera GT is a good at the high end where as the atom is good at the low end. if you actually did research you would know this. it's like comparing a drag car to a rally car
I like all of your vids and I understand the effort you must make to do them, but i trully believe that you could also too get better points of view and film in a better way, that would also be a plus for value.
Im only talking about the youtube ones, because i havent ordered any. Just because these ones havent claimed me to too much.
And its ugly, useless for daily use, uncomfortable, probably made like crap like every other american car, probably breaks down every 10 miles and needs a full service every 1000 miles.....you cant compare SSC to Veyron. Even if it was twice as fast.
ford are great American (at least in America) made cars and when you by a car that is over a million why would you drive it everyday? look at the meclaren F1
I agree about fords for mechanical parts. But interiors are still made out of very cheap plastic and not put together well. European Fords are MUCH MUCH better build inside. For example european ford mondeo is probably build as well as BMW 3 series inside, and it handles perfectly on the road. But that is all because of german engineers who worked on that car.
you're just speculating. The real reason you can't compare the SSC to the Bugatti is that they are two completely different cars. The SSC is a supercar, the Veyron is a GT car.
BUT, the Veyron is a heavier car and is alot more forgiving with all the driver aids it has, plus all its luxuries, the CCX is lighter, no driver aids, no luxury, BALLS OUT type vehicle. The CCX is hardcore and will kill you first time you slip, the STIG even crashed that thing. THe veyron is for ridiculously rich people that want to experience sheer power but not have the know how to really drive a 1000hp car.
@CONAPOWA Mature people don't talk crap on the internet. Everyone makes an educated comment about the video, you go out your way to start conflict with people. I mean really, if you are going to go in on someone at least come with a relevant comment, then I forgot, you're an idiot
It has to do with a lot more then just power. Porsche is faster then most with less horse power, becuase wieght, aerodynamics, and how much power loss to the road. Bugatti has 4 wheel drive, so it loses a lot more hp then the CCX by the time it gets to the wheels. Also the Veyron is like a regular street car in many ways. You can make huge power from anything but then you just have a race car, which will not work on the road well.
i like to see this cause you don't need to have ''the fastest car'' to win. its about the shifting. and the difference between atom and carrera gt is 1 second to the 100 km/h
not sure why people think the atom should have one, at high speeds power to weight doesnt mean nearly as much as outright power and aerodynamics, which the cgt trumps the atom in both
You watch too much MTV...rapper wannabe "y'all". You make me sick. Get an education Chaka khan!! You wouldn't know a track if it kicked you in your pussy. Like you know what a track is?! Without all the nannies on today's cars you'd be spinning like a bitch you towel head, carpet riding, curly slipper wearing homo. I'd thrash you on the track in anything with wheels. Get an education homo!!
LOL LOL LOL, most of dont know your ass fron straight up. Only a couple people kind of know what their talking about. Just do some research before you post something stupid people! Oh by the way an AMERICAN car is now the fastest car in the world for a production car. LOOK IT UP.
Shut your cake whole dumb shit!! What, the ZR1, is that what you're referring to? Its not all about 0-60 or HP. Power to weight ratio, braking bias, balance just to name a few. Yeah its cheaper than most for exotic car stats but hell, you probably have a hairy chest and gold chains to boot! Pinhead, were is the refinement. the Viper ACR has it on the skidpad, the GT2 has it in the slalom, the Veyron in all out acceleration, and for $117k no one knows or cares. Plus u've never tracked b4!!
Starting at 50 kph, my point is that there still should be a lapse in which the Atom run ahead, remember the 0-100 in both cars. No matter, it's only a tip.

@carGT222 Do not look the 0-100 km and 0-200 they might not say much.

Drag times are the ones which matter.
I mean 0-400m,0-600m, 0-1000m and so on...

@dicktp First off did you study time intervals in science? Lol.
You are thinking about 0-100 first which makes 0-200 for you to complex to understand
I'll teach you the easiest and most simple way to understand this
if a car gets to 100 in 3.2 the time it will take it to go to 200 will be also it's 0-200 time
I doubt however that the Enzo's 0-100 is 3.6 that is without launch control for sure but it only takes 3-5 jumpstarts to burn the clutch of it ^^
carGT222 1 year ago
@carGT222 No no no.You didnt understand what i mean.
ill help you with an example:
The 997 turbo pdk reaches 200km in 10,4.
The Ferrari Enzo reaches 200km in 9,5.
which is ahead in a drag race after 10,4 seconds??
the 911 turbo is.
It needs 10.8 secs for the 1/4 mile while the Enzo needs 11-11.1
capito?

@dicktp What the hell are you talking about
if it's faster on 0-100 that doesn't mean anything for 0-100-200 stop making this confusing for other people

between 100 and before even 200 the Enzo is already ahead
don't compare a 911 to an Enzo lol
look at 0-200 there is something called 100 inside that
I know the way your thinking but it's non sense trust me

Go to fastest laps.com

I take the same example again:

the enzo hits 0-400 meters in 11 seconds.
the 997 turbo pdk hits 0-200km/hr in 10.4 which means at the 0-400m(10.8secs) it has more than 200km/hr.
The enzo has more km/h after 10.8 seconds from the Turbo BUT IT IS STILL BEHIND THE TURBO AFTER 10.8 seconds race.
Obviously the enzo will take the lead soon after this time.

For conventional drag races you guys are correct it is the Power to weight ratio.

On Top Gear track lap times are: Carrera GT 1:19.8 and Atom 1:19.5. It's a minor advantage mate. I don't see how Atom would kill it. If the tack was little longer,with longer finish line,it might be even slight Carrera advantage,so you can't speak of Carrera like it's Suzuki Splash.
dplaziba 2 years ago 8
i was over exaggerating. i know an atom is good at getting to 60 and around a track. it lacks straight line speed compared to something like a GT.
and Top Gear is an amazing show!

is obvious atom will lose on the straight because it has less than half of the power ..maybe on the start is a little faster because of the weight but then ,when the speed goes up no chance .
(But in a track will destroy the porsche for sure ).
You dont buy the atom for top speed but for corners speed and for acceleration.Also atom price is 30K that is still affordable ,for this price u just buy the 4 tires of that porsche ..

If by "high end" you mean the speed and not the rev band, then yea the atom is good for low speed stuff, not high speed stuff.
they didnt even show how far back the atom was!
its NOT a fast car at all, its damn quick because its so light, but with such a small amount of power its useless at high speed straits. oversized gokart..
hp/lb can only get u so far with high speed aero.
if this race was from a dig it would be better.
but then again i wouldn't really want to launch my cgt

what about the SSC ultimate aero the 09' one is looking at 270mph and the other one can already beat the vayron and its half the price.
shagboy1993 2 years ago
And its ugly, useless for daily use, uncomfortable, probably made like crap like every other american car, probably breaks down every 10 miles and needs a full service every 1000 miles.....you cant compare SSC to Veyron. Even if it was twice as fast.
derbigpr500 2 years ago
ford are great American (at least in America) made cars and when you by a car that is over a million why would you drive it everyday? look at the meclaren F1
shagboy1993 2 years ago
I agree about fords for mechanical parts. But interiors are still made out of very cheap plastic and not put together well. European Fords are MUCH MUCH better build inside. For example european ford mondeo is probably build as well as BMW 3 series inside, and it handles perfectly on the road. But that is all because of german engineers who worked on that car.
derbigpr500 2 years ago 3
you're just speculating. The real reason you can't compare the SSC to the Bugatti is that they are two completely different cars. The SSC is a supercar, the Veyron is a GT car.
Christoo92 2 years ago
the veyron is a one bull shit car
4 turbochargers with 16 cylinders it can only go 253 TS
the CCX with 2 superchargers and 8 cylinders it can go 249 TS
CCX: v8 2 super (806 hp) top speed: 249 mph
Veyron: v16 4 turbo (987 hp) top speed: 253 mph
carGT222 2 years ago
BUT, the Veyron is a heavier car and is alot more forgiving with all the driver aids it has, plus all its luxuries, the CCX is lighter, no driver aids, no luxury, BALLS OUT type vehicle. The CCX is hardcore and will kill you first time you slip, the STIG even crashed that thing. THe veyron is for ridiculously rich people that want to experience sheer power but not have the know how to really drive a 1000hp car.

levirolla 1 year ago
the thing is, that the veyron needs 300hp to get to about 300 and a bit and the other 700 are just to get up to 400...
as other ppl saidthe veyron is A LOT heavier ..and then 4 mph difference, thats a lot
maxle100 2 years ago
Amazing how aerodynamic drag works.
levirolla 2 years ago
It has to do with a lot more then just power. Porsche is faster then most with less horse power, becuase wieght, aerodynamics, and how much power loss to the road. Bugatti has 4 wheel drive, so it loses a lot more hp then the CCX by the time it gets to the wheels. Also the Veyron is like a regular street car in many ways. You can make huge power from anything but then you just have a race car, which will not work on the road well.

Shut your cake whole dumb shit!! What, the ZR1, is that what you're referring to? Its not all about 0-60 or HP. Power to weight ratio, braking bias, balance just to name a few. Yeah its cheaper than most for exotic car stats but hell, you probably have a hairy chest and gold chains to boot! Pinhead, were is the refinement. the Viper ACR has it on the skidpad, the GT2 has it in the slalom, the Veyron in all out acceleration, and for $117k no one knows or cares. Plus u've never tracked b4!!
