Prepare to take the wheel in an adrenaline-fueled competition like no other! In our Battle of the Atoms, you're not just driving; you're putting both the road version and the race model of the incredible Ariel Atom to the test. Feel the raw power as you switch between these two supercharged marvels and discover which one truly sets your heart racing.
The road-going Atom, with its 325bhp, may sound modest on paper, but this featherweight car rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. Its phenomenal power-to-weight ratio ensures that you'll leave everyone else in the dust at traffic lights. It’s fast, it’s fun, and it offers a driving experience that’s simply unmatched.
Then, step into the race version, meticulously engineered for the track. With a full roll cage and upgraded motorsport features, this Atom pushes the boundaries of what's possible. Despite maintaining a light weight of 550kg, expect sharper handling, enhanced steering response, and a stiffer ride that delivers an adrenaline rush every time you corner. Imagine racing with 20 other Atoms, thrillingly challenging for the top spot on the track!
Whether you're an experienced driver or just looking for a thrill, both cars present a challenge that will keep you on your toes. With every twist and turn on the track, you’ll be inches from the ground, feeling the true essence of speed and agility. And don’t forget, after your dual driving experience, you’ll get a taste of high-speed excitement with a passenger lap in a performance car!
You can choose from the Blast package, featuring three miles in each car, or go all out with the Thrill option, which offers six miles of exhilarating driving. Gear up for the ride of your life in the Battle of the Atoms!
