The Ariel Atom is a high performance sports car, with a motorcycle-derived 500 bhp V8 engine. It is unusual in that it is exoskeleton — the chassis is the body — and therefore lacks a roof, windows and other features normally found on road cars. With the powerful engines it can achieve acceleration rivaling that of much more expensive supercars. Although the top speed of approximately 140 mph -150 mph is perceived as "tame" compared to more exotic sports cars, far from the truth... the high power-to-weight ratio (approximately 500 bhp/ton) affords incredible acceleration- "0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, if you can change gear fast enough" (to quote Jeremy Clarkson)- and the low weight provides excellent control through corners. In 2004 it was tested by Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear, where it lapped their test track faster than, most notably, a Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 and a Porsche Carrera GT and also creatively re-arranged Clarkson's face because of the open cockpit's lack of wind protection. The Atom-based prototype, also has incredible acceleration, reaching 60 mph in 3 seconds. The British newspaper The Sunday Times measured its average acceleration from 0 to 60 mph at 2.89 seconds, making it the world's third fastest accelerating production car then available after the $1.3 million, (987 bhp) Bugatti Veyron which reaches 0 to 60 mph in 2.46 seconds and the Ultima GTR, which reaches 60 mph in 2.6 seconds.

Your experience will begin with a welcome introduction including a thorough safety briefing on circuit driving techniques. Then you will experience a demonstration lap in a performance saloon car driven by an instructor, this gives you the opportunity so see how the instructor takes the racing line and corners to give you the most out of your experience. You will then strap into the driving seat of the Lamborghini Ariel Atom for 4 hair raising laps, followed by 1 high speed lap as a passenger in a BMW M3 CSL driven by an instructor. Your day will finish with a presentation of a certificate of your driving experience.
