Produced under the license of the British Ariel Motor Company in North America by TMI Autotech, the Ariel Atom offers an ultra-lightweight open-wheel sports car with uncompromising performance abilities achieved by a double wishbone pushrod-type suspension, an impressive power-to-weight ratio, and more. In 2011, Virginia International Raceway began the VIR Cup racing series in which the specially designed track dedicated Spec:RaceAtom (SRA) competed up until 2015. It features a 2.4-liter Honda K24 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. This 2013 example is #73 of less than 100 examples produced in total and is now being offered for auction out of Colorado.
This Atom is comprised of an exposed MIG-welded steel chassis with black & white finished bodywork and transparent Perspex side panels. The track-only SRA features additional structural support compared to street-legal versions including a triangulated roll bar surrounding the cockpit. It rides on a set of 15” wheels dressed in older Hoosier racing tires, and a set of four spare rims will accompany the sale. Additional images are provided in the gallery.
The cockpit is fitted with a pair of Kirkey bucket seats and Sabelt safety harnesses as well as a three-spoke MOMO steering wheel and a fire extinguisher. The driver is situated ahead of a digital instrument cluster flanked by toggle switches, a menu button, and a Wilwood brake bias adjuster. Other equipment includes a Safequip safety net, roll bar pads, a cup holder, dual side mirrors, and a central air intake.
Power comes from a 2.4-liter Honda K24Z7 inline 4-cylinder engine with iVTEC variable valve timing. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 6-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. The chassis includes double unequal-length wishbone suspension with adjustable pushrod SRA-spec coilovers at the front and rear. Stopping power comes from Wilwood Dynamite brake calipers and slotted rotors at each corner. The seller adds that the suspension has been adjusted for improved handling by the experts at 3rRacing in 2021, and there are no outstanding maintenance items at this time.
This Ariel Atom is accompanied by a bill of sale and additional rims.
