Ariel atom 500 V8
If we want to make the big heavy car fast we have to put
powerful engine in it. If we want to make the small light car fast we don’t
need much big engine in it but what happens if we put the powerful engine in
small light car the answer is the iconic Ariel
atom v8 made by the small company ariel with only 7 employees. This is the
car which has left behind all the super cars and formula cars in terms of
acceleration, from bugatti veyron to GP2 single seater formula car. The
horsepower/weight ratio of bugatti veyron and GP2 is 530 bhp/ton and 850
bhp/ton respectively. The super Ariel atom is has engine of 500 bhp and its
weight is just about 550 kg so the ratio becomes 500 bhp/550 kg=0.909 bhp/kg or
909 bhp/ton much larger than others.
