FOR THE FULL ARIEL ATOM STORY:

Think about the quickest road car you've ever
driven. No, wait, scratch that. Think about
the quickest road car you've ever heard of.
No, wait. That won't do, either. Think about
the quickest road car that's ever been.
That's more like it. Now you're in the right
area code.
Here's why: This highly modified 2005 Ariel
Atom with its supercharged, 375-horsepower,
2.0-liter Honda engine hits 60 mph from a
standstill in 2.8 seconds. Two-point-eight
seconds! With an exclamation point! (And we
never use an exclamation point.)
Measure its time to 60 mph with 1 foot of
rollout like they do on a drag strip, and the
Ariel gets to the mark in a scant 2.6 seconds
— less time than we require to decide
between paper and plastic.
For those of you keeping score at home, this
makes this 2005 Ariel Atom quicker than any
car we've ever tested — any Porsche, any
Viper, any Vette and any other specialty
marque like the Noble M400. But it gets
better. The little Atom goes on to further
embarrass the big names by punching its way
through the quarter-mile in 10.6 seconds at
128.4 mph. It's the hardest accelerating car
we've ever driven.
