Ariel Atom 4R unveiled at Goodwood

Ariel unveiled its latest Atom at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Ariel Atom 4R, the car boasts 400 horsepower and is powered by a 2.0 iVTEC Honda Type-R 4-cylinder engine liters.

The new Ariel Atom 4R has a paddle shift and sequential gearbox, and the car also comes with 500Nm of torque, it comes with lightweight carbon brakes with carbon ceramic discs.

Said Henry Siebert-Saunders, Ariel Director, "We continue to strive to evolve the Atom as the ultimate driver's car, whether on the road or on the track. The 4R follows the footsteps of the incredible Atom 3.5R and further drives the story forward. It really is an amazing car that we are justly proud of."

Thanks to an all-new cooling and intercooler system, the turbocharged Honda engine in the Civic Type R delivers approximately 25% more power and torque than the standard engine at 400hp and 500 Nm. The increase not only in power but also in torque gives the Atom 4R spectacular acceleration times and on-track performance, always associated with legendary Ariel and Honda reliability. The turbo boost is switchable between three positions.

New air intake geometry, redesigned cooling system and an additional cooling radiator in the left side module have increased engine cooling by 55%, allowing Ariel to extract more engine power. The right-side module houses a larger air-to-air intercooler increasing the intercooling area by 75%, maintaining intake and engine temperatures even under hard track use.
