Earlier this week, Brammo Motorsports - the manufacturer of the Ariel Atom, sent out an email to prospective buyers with details on the US version of the Ariel Atom: it is to include a 2.0L 245hp Ecotec engine sourced from GM. Furthermore the company has just finished testing the new states bound car at the General Motors’ proving grounds in Arizona. No doubt the GM engineers on location took a few notes for their next lightweight model. Wishing that they could get their flagship Corvette into the sub 3 second 0-60 range.

Orders for the model year 2006 Ariel Atom are now being taken by Brammo Motorsports. To boost sales they even have a free engine upgrade incentives to hurry prospective buyers into making a choice. While the prices for the Atom is avaliable through the website online configurator, and while it may seem a tad ‘expensive’. I think the price will come in far, FAR less than the sales tax on your new enzo. If I were you I would sell the 82 rx-7 and start on a new project car that actually runs.
