While the Ariel Atom may not make the best daily driver (it has no windshield, no ignition key, no carpet, no stereo, etc.) it is, in my opinion, one of the best “fun” cars that money can buy.
The best thing about the Atom? It’s actually not to expensive, it is in fact, my affordable dream car. From looking at the specs it may not look all that much to the uneducated eye. But the important thing to look at is the weight and then the power. The Atom has a power to weight ratio greater than the Ferrari Enzo.
Words can’t really do it justice, the best way to appreciate this car is to watch the video below. After seeing this video I immediately fell in love.
