Ariel Atom 2
 

The owners of this Ariel Atom 2 - 300Bhp:-
50/50 Mohammed my brother, and myself.


It is just wow!.. wooow.
I was introduced to this lovely car/kit/toy; Yes a Toy! throug JW's. and since then, I was crazy about it. My brother [EVO] was just insan.

So I requested the option list from Mr.Simon (Cheif designer/company owner/The Big Guy). The list was filled with options, and unheard gadgets . The only thing I knew was the 15" rims to bling 17". But the funny thing, no CD changer or nappa leather.

The list was so boring with tech and spec, that I have no clue what were they for. So, I started to ask Simon back and forth about each option, and what does it do, and how it can benifits me in track etc.

After few brain killing weeks, and research throu JW and other forums. I started to understand what is Light frame, Alco BBK, APS digital thingy, 15" light rims, slick tyres, rollcage for my big brains, racing dif, CF side mirrors etc.

You know what I did my friend, I just ticked every single box. Kapich!

Later on last yeat, we have visited the workshop in UK, and meet Simon himself, very nice guy.

Finally, if you are in Dubai, drop by so we can go out in the arabian hightech flying carpet. :) :) :)

PS:No Car manual yet! Still under development. Proof pic is the 3rd one ;)

Hummm! 300 what???
Thanks to my bro Evo, after weeks trying to rigister the car to drive it in the streets, he pulled some strings in Sharjah Police, with some connections here and there, we ended with a motor bike registration number + lucky number 300 = 300Bhp :D Very lucky :) Thanks for the nice surprice

Flying carpet :lol:

Those are triggers to go throu the manual of the SPA micro dash (http://www.spatechnique.com/microdash/systems.htm)

basiclly, it readys RPM - Kmh or mph - water temp - oil temp/pres - fuel level + G-force, lap record data - track recognition, lap timer, usb download info to laptop to compare with other drivers methods on track etc....

The red plastic nobs are the fire extingushers, it will spred white gas on the engine and cabin...

:) Very tech car.... I am still discovering new things in it....

Evo is your brother? :shock: Nice garage :o And congrats on having the Ariel :P Please make some vids for us when it will be possible :P

EDIT: and awsome pics i forgot to say :P

EDIT2: I am wondering how come there is not a single car parked on the street? :shock: Looks like you cleaned all the street just for photoshoot :D

congrats on your new rocket dude! :)

atom is incredible car. Congrats dubai. You had a Gallardo now you have a Atom. I am really jealisng you.

Congrats mate! Awsome car collection, cant wait to see some track videos, hint hint!

awsome awsome ... congrats dubai ... im cmming to dubai asap :twisted:
i've loved this car sincei first set my eyes on it .... :mrgreen:
btw dont forget to buy skydiving goggles :prr: :lol:

Great toy!!

You Lucky Guy!!! :D

it sure is a flying carpet..

awesome how you got a chance to meet the maker of the Ariel and I'm wondering why you didn't just check off all the options in the first place :)

that thing must be absolutely insane in the city :)

great pics

wow amazingly cool car...i saw 1 only once, at le mans, and it was the weirdest, craziest and 1 of the coolest cars i've ever seen...wouldnt spend my money on it though :P it rains too often here...and it's too cold...

Not wanting to ruin the fun, and bloody hell what a sexy car to use on the road :D but will you be able to provide some sort of custom shot for it even if you don't have the manual? ;) you could print out the JW logo as in the rule topic
the pic with the Gallardo and EVO could do for now, but we'd like to have the "usual" one too for the car registry ;) thanks!

Re: Ariel Atom 2
 

All the pics are beautiful, but i love this one ! Really well done.

STUNNING :!:

Nice car, uhhh bike :D

salegosse : HEY! :wink: nO Foto ChoP, me real Image .. 0X peace.. OUT! lol

redbaron.... I left today very well dressed up, i came back with things messed up, full of road dust (Construction site) and my bladder is full of stone, My face is history... aaaaaah!



Thank you guys for the comments.........



Regarding car/bike,,, actully it is registered as a Bike, but I only have a car licens

So. funny thing is IF a policeman fines me, would he fine me because I am driving a bike (technically car) or fine me because he see a car but a bike registered........ Hummm confused.....!! )(*(*@&()*&@)*&@

In that garage pic is my house in Dubai, I stay in a compound villas, and I usually keep 2 daily cars in there.
Gallardo is parked in a basement office bld next to many lambo owners. The Atom, well we don't know? :D Do you have a place :wink:

Man nice ride. Can you take a picture of your other cars. I love the look of the houses in Dubai

i love the atom, Dubai!

it seems very very much like it would be quite the rocket... your description of the options list seems like it would make the car even more idealised for track use... definately appropriate 8)

its interesting you have the car classified as a motorcycle :lol: good luck with staying out of police patrols' radar ;) its always easier to not explain anything :P

Wow, this custom shot looks so nice it could be one of our banners :D

oh almost forgot, great choice of toys Dubai

Glad you guys liked this toy.. I think Dubai will upload couple of pix of a drive by.. Me driving..

The car is like a Go-Kart with 300HP.. it really is very very sensitive in handling the responce if mind blowing..

If anybody from JW is coming over here just drop me a PM and I will take you for a ride of your life time.. :mrgreen:

Hmm, another big incentive to make Dubai my next holiday destination :wink:

congrats to both for this little machine from hell :twisted:

I hope you'll enjoy the car for the fullest!

If I'd have the means, I'd have one in a second!!!

The photos are VERY cool.

Im thinkig of visiting Dubai in fall 2006. Probably and I'll hold on to your word Evo 8)

thx a bunch for sharing the pics, and I hope to see some more, plus a vid or two of course :D

Well if the brake-in period be over by the end of next week we will enter the Atom in ( Ten of the Best ) contest. Some of you guys from UK be familier with it for the onces who are not it's a 3 races and you get points in each.. Drag Racing, Top Speed and Handling.. I'm going in with my own beast.. Evo and Dubai's S2000 got a broken window so the Atom has to step in.. So Hopefully we can get a nice little video.. :D

Wow! Very impressive!!

That picture taken from the driver's seat, looking out over the steering wheel and the street ahead, looks almost surreal. Like it's from a computer game. I bet driving that car feel surreal as well. :D

uhh.. :idea: you could keep it at my place, I'm in Texas. :D j/k

great car though, always wanted to drive one of those.

Very cool ride mate, Congrats !! :D I didn't take care to this thread unless I saw it was in "What do you drive" section :shock: Incredible !

That's a great choice of toy! I'm sure you'll love it once you're able to take it out on the track. Btw, since the car has no body, can you attach your camera 'sucking' mount on it? That would give some great long shutter pics :mrgreen:




I went the Ten of the Best last year and the year before, at least the UK version. And there are some seriously fast contenders! And it's a great event to test the car's abilities.

Im so unbelievably jealous!

Haha ditto, I saw that and my mind went blank for a minute. I just thought no way, not possible... :shock:

Dubai and Evo, you guys are nuts. Beautiful car/bike, you guys better enjoy the hell out of it :twisted:

dubai
what kind of transimission does it have? and how many speed
does it shift fast if it is not manual?

wow an ariel!
congrats!
very nice choice! eveyone will be jelous, specially in ur neighborhood, because well i doubt they see many of those there...
the pictures are really good and i cant wait to c more!
0X 0X 0X

wow, that's an amazing car - congrats dudes! for me this is an ultimate driving machine: an engine, steering wheel and a seat. that's all you need to have fun on the street. i look forward to read more from your experience how it handles. what's the weight of this car? i guess it's not a lot and with 300bhp.... holy shit... i think this is breathtaking driving.... i definitely have to drive once such a car like this! have fun!

Dubai :shock: :shock: !!
there are some very good shots there, particularly the third from the last is my favorite... and also the best Atom shot i've ever seen :-D

I really like the pics in the desert. Such a nice location to take car pics :D Thanks for posting!
