Ariel Atom Photoshoot - 5/3/12
in the fall of last year i met the owner of DDM Works at a clemson ICAR showcase and he asked me to shoot his customer's new Ariel Atom that they had just got in for a full build. i shot it bone stock back then (
http://jpmcgphotography.smugmug.com/...9446581_WSMsG4 ) and said he would get me to reshoot it once it was done. well... it's finally ready! after the custom twin charging setup, this ultra lightweight is now putting down north of 600whp! to handle the extra power, larger CCW classic wheels were fitted front and rear wrapped with toyo R888's. enjoy!

fav's:
1. salad bar equipped!
2. low and wide...
3.
4. a view from above
5. good luck finding the A/C controls...
6. induction is right next to your ear as you drive providing quite a dramatic experience
7. 2012...

thanks for looking! C&C welcome as always!

wow!
Don't know if I would want to ride in a 600whp ariel atom......I bet that thing just screams.
Link to the build thread? Wonder if the gearing was changed?

I'm a fan of function over form and to me that thing is dead sexy.

i don't know that there is one... there may be a "wrap up" article on the company's website at some point though.

Excellent photos! I would be terrified to ride or drive in one though considering it's like riding a rocket ship on wheels.
Regardless, thanks for sharing!
