This is the engine being fitted to the Ariel Atom (in 3.0 litre guise and 500bhp) which i think is out later this year or some time next, achieving around 900 bhp/ton

 

[gloverman]

These are awesome. I want one (at least one)

I saw an Atom on the road near Oban on the west coast of Scotland a while back.

Absolutely insane.

I'll have one or two thanks.

Unfortunately they can't be registered in Australia. Allready checked!

Those atoms are cool. Zuffen there is a page requesting it to come to Australia.

ariels are cool, but overpriced IMHO, nearly 40k for the supercharged version !

 

[XR8tt]

Is this the Yamaha R1 headed V8 ??
U.K have some nice sportscars...

 

[Zuffen]

How about a 750cc watercooled V8?

Check this out http://home.mira.net/~iwd/

Aussie designed and built!

shoot i'd stick that 3.0 ariel atom v8 into my sc... it would drop me to 2900lb, slightly more tq, and 2x the hp. I want....

Imagine putting it in place of an 80,000lb semi truck's motor - on a Peterbilt chassis.
