- Back in January, Chris Harris took to the Top Gear track in, what looked like, an old Ariel Atom. Except it wasn't an old Ariel Atom. It was the all-new Ariel Atom 4. So here he is, finding out just how 'new' said Ariel Atom 4 really is.

Manufacturer: This is a new Ariel atom 4
Chris : It looks similar
Manufacturer : drive it.
Chirs : woooo
Hey when your new video coming?
@@pavitrprabhakar9831u don't have to wait for long, it's coming in no time bro 😊
@@mrtoppistonhead can't wait
Yeah, this is what makes the drama of this show. (:
Ariel atom 4 vs Tesla model s anyone?
it's also a quarter of the price of a BAC mono, so that's not too bad.
Denis Kudlik And it’s manual 🔥
Богдан Кондратов what girlfriend
Starts at 40k GBP. The full extra price (AP racing barakes, carbon wheels, ECU reflash etc): 120k GBP...
@Богдан Кондратов but the mono is made to be quick, the "plastic toy" look just makes it more streamlined than the Atom
True but nowhere near the engineering of the bac. But still alot of performance for the money
Italy: 'We have made the most beautiful and powerful supercars in the world'
Germany: 'We have designed the most scientifically advanced supercars ever made'
England: 'We made a weird go-kart lol'
Yea just forget about all the Astons and mclarens we made lol
Dont forget Vauxhall....
I'd take the British one any day
@@sheilamorrison1954 no...its owned by groupe PSA, but its a British brand.
The Morris Minor was the apex of human industrial capability.
And it even has a proper manual transmission...
Beautifully done Ariel
"You get to the end of the straight younger than when you started it": should get into the funniest automobile quote hall of fame.
would love to see this against the mono 2
Sweet! As a motorcyclist, I find the Atom very appealing. I'd buy one.
100k go-kart vs 1k crotch rocket for similar rush
@maverick1685 same. And likely suit up very similarly to drive it. (can't drive in inclement weather. Hmph. That's what my leather pants and Aerostich are for.)
Although, I'm just as likely to nick one of those engines, strip all the emissions gear off it, and stuff it in the arse end of something like a Berkut 540 and end up bombing along at over 300 per... *legally*... three and a half miles up, sucking oxygen. "Where we're going, we don't need roads!"
3:57 has a great camera-angle! Use it more!
I've had the pleasure of meeting one of the TMI Autosport on-site track engineers and a sales manager at Virginia International Raceway. They were both super cool people who are VERY passionate about what they do.
Top gear now has found its roots and it's a blast to watch again. The lads are doing an amazing job since the last 2 seasons and everyone genuinely needs to give top gear the second chance it deserves.
Was it began by sacking Christ and Matt?
I the near ending of C H M era Top gear joke is tired and stale. This look fresher.
Matt Leblanc was alright tho :/
2nd?
It's more watchable than The Grand Tour right now. And that's something I didn't expect to be saying.
One of the most honest cars ever made, it’s innards are visible for viewing and feedback. It’s a “focused” car that rewards you when used as intended and will punish you if choose to use it for functions it’s not truly designed for, like driving in increment weather. I can imagine hauling down some back country road at triple the posted limit being equal to doing something like “speed”, totally exhilarating. We’re lucky to live in a world where someone builds an insane machine like this and we can drive it on public roads, life is good!
4:08 is orgasmic, look at the way he drives it. Proper car guy Mr Harris and the only good thing about Top Gear now
I wonder if my doctor can write me a prescription for one of these.
"Hey Doc, i have been feeling a bit down with all this Covid madness, can you set me up?"
If a severe depression leads up to me driving this thing on track - bring it on!
I wonder if my health insurance would pay for it, no problem on the co-pay. Probably cheaper for them than any mental asylum.
4:08 amazing leg coordination
@jon doe You still hating? Get lost
@jon doe Still here talking nonsense and hate? Man, I thought ignorance had a limit, but you keep proving me wrong
David García If you felt uncomfortable, please do read my comment.
@jon doe I feel sorry for you
jon doe dude you’re out of your mind. Harris has a real racing career under his belt and is probably a better driver than Clarkson, Hammond and May put together
Always great to see Harris behind the wheel.
What a great car.
"When you wind the dial back to where it should be" lol. 👍
There's no one better than our Chris. Also this is shot and edited Fantastically.
Vicib
Can't get over the turbo noises 🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic mate!!
brilliant Video again .... perfect camera and edit, great review :-) I love this car ! I must make fun fun fun
3:46. Whoa can’t do that in an old Atom. Changes gear.
3:39
😂😂😂
Its about turbos blow off valve sound
Yes, Chris not only drives and reviews the cars but he is also entirely responsible for the edit, too. It's not like Top Gear has been edited by children for the past 18 years now, has it?
I think he meant drifting it in total control
great editting!
V-tec to the extreme
Love the Atom more than anything epic speed and thrills 👍🙏👌
where is the "face test"
it has a windscreen to stop the face test
@jon doe
>Chris Harris
>Unskilled
🤔🤔🤔
@Богдан Кондратов sorry I actually Meant wind defllector but it acts like a mini windscreen
Josh Sonary that jon doe guy’s a troll. I’ve been noticing him hating on Mr. Harris on almost every video of him
@jon doe And what fact that makes Chris Harris is unskilled?
its great to see Ariel are still going its great
4:07 so nice
Wish i could do that, i rev match (almost), but heel and toe that's another level.
Chris is a master, ain't he?
@jon doe How exactly would editing benefit the pedal movement that I am sure the commenters above are focusing on?
Having see how Harris drifts HyperCars, enduros at N24 and races a classic manual mini, I'm pretty sure it's all skill the people above (as am I) are appreciating. Not editing.
@jon doe I respect that people don't have to like other people. But saying that he is an edited driver is baseless. Having seen him drive in real life at circuits like Goodwood and the genuine times he has produced in endurance races, he is a good driver. Nobody is saying you have to like him. I never said he was a good host. But you cannot back up your claims of him being a bad driver.
@jon doe I'm not sure what point you are attempting to make. You said he isn't skilled. I'm saying, someone who has what he has under his belt is skilled. You're right. He isn't a career race winner. But again. You can't back up the fact that he isn't skilled.
ONE AND ONLY time"When the V-Tech Kicks in" is faster than supercar!
Had to say it! 😂😂😂
You had me at Ariel Atom.
Chris really makes you go through the ride
It only needs a rear wing and is just the Atomim used to love in Driveclub
How's the responsiveness of the throttle? The previous Atom was supercharged, this new one sounds turbocharged.
Easy 400
The closing speech sums it up blast of a car 😁
WOW Super little car... but such a super well shot and edited video --- that shot and Edit @3:11
The only thing more amazing than the improvements to drivability is the price actually went down over the 3S. What kind of car gets CHEAPER these days?
I have been in one of those and it is unreal and words can't explain it.
Did you have to get all the shit out of your pants afterward XD
The sound of that shift wuufff
The production quality and editing is on another level.
Sounds way better then the old ones !
I was wondering why this felt so groundbreaking in terms of cinematography and feel. Then I saw it was uploaded 7 minutes ago. Chris is my favorite presenter thus far
Would love to see Ariel Atom 4 vs the Bac mono on a race track. would be fun
Where is the background music from? Universal production music?
Like how the tyres cambered in a bit by the suspension system
That center-point roll cage highest-point, it really, really doesn't look like it would protect either the driver's or passenger's heads in a roll-over. Considering that the only ones I've seen driven were with people that weren't wearing helmets, perhaps Ariel has a little more work to do.
If only we could go for a 'quick spin' 😞
show needs the crazy trio
I’ve driven one of these ….. couldn’t take the smile off my face afterwards😂😂😉👌🏽
OMG The quality of the video
When he said 'when the state of the world is ever getting you down' I felt that.
Starts at 40k GBP. The full extra price (AP racing barakes, carbon wheels, ECU reflash etc): 120k GBP...
1000cc Bike for 15k brand new.
Yea but a bike falls over
Wrong
Tesla for everyday use and ariel for the days you feel a bit dead inside and need the extra kick. Best of Both worlds
The gear shifts are maaaaaaaad
Wild Bro. I want one 🤗
I would buy one just to hear that turbo wistle.
Type r motor for the win
Great car great review, brilliant driver Chris Harris is the best.
Can anyone please help me understand
What is that noise everytime it shifts in gear
Nothing like Chris Harris video to start the day
jon doe Chris Harris is a legend
Would they ever consider making one with a V10 or V12??
I wonder which is actually better, the K20c in this car or the K24z7 with a turbo in the Atom 3s?
Chris Harris is crazy, amazing👌🏾
Brasil in tha house
@jon doe 🤣🤣🤣✌🏾
I'll have a triple espresso- defib on the side...
Call me when they make it with the Koenigsegg Tiny Friendly Giant engine
its probably too expensive to be viable for such a cheap car
The engine would cost much more then this entire car
But that 1:1 power to weight ratio 😍😍 600hp and 600 kilograms Good lord
You could put a fully built Honda engine in here and get 600 horsepower out of it
What happened to the stig laps on the show
i suppse he got a call from " the holy trinity "
If I remember what they say in the show, they put them on BBC 3. Can't find them though.
Paul Queripel they say they’re on TH-cam, which they are, on this channel.
@@michaelm5542 okay , I knew they were somewhere online.
Chris is no slouch. He's done multiple stints at 24 hours of Nurburgring and Lemans.
If there's one thing I love about Chris Harris is His attitude during videos. As for the Atom I would buy, enjoy, potentially race it. (:
I wonder if I could get approved for Ariel Atom therapy? 🤔
The wheezing sound it makes when it shifts gears, Jesus. It's like Anton Chiguhr under the hood. A proper analogy, I might add.
Has Top Gear become a sales representative to the highest bidder?
very nice driving but my back started hurting just watching that 😳
Nice
I NEED to be sorted right out.
Did Chris bring it back or is he still on the run with it?
That thing is so cooooool
It also feels 3 times faster than it is just because the way they made it.
That's what I love most about mine. Without a helmet 70 feels like 100+ and it's quite surreal picking up all the smells as you make your way along the road. It's totally immersive. My favourite drive last summer was through the Scottish Borders and Dumfriesshire in the dark. As well as the sound of the turbo next to your ear, I could feel the changes in temperature on my face as I went under trees and the dark is completely enveloping with only the cool digital dashboard glowing away and the full beams lighting up the road ahead. It gave new meaning to driving "through" the night. Yes the Atom 4 is one of the very fastest cars on the road objectively and subjectively I don't think any car could feel faster driven at the limit. Although, even if I had the ability/desire to drive a car with the power to weight ratio of a Bugatti but with zero driver's aids and no protection at the limit on the road, for me it's the feeling of immersion that makes it truly special and a uniquely visceral experience every single trip. Just wish the temperature would hurry up now and go up. The brain freeze you get at 60 when the ambient temp is below 6 degrees is bloody 'orrible :D
Hey Top Gear, when is the series coming out in the US???
Never
Uh, given how quick it goes, even as a track toy, I'd rather have paddle shifters on that thing... This way you can concentrate more on steering the beast! And have an auto mode to drive to and back from the track too :p
Chris at it again ))
When does the X2 come?
I bet the whine of the supercharger was deafening, but it kinda made the car in my experience..
Chris is the most fun and teh Atom is just brilliant !
Last time I was this early my wife complained.
You're right! One quick spin on that will do wonders! But, why just one spin?
I mean it is basically a race car you can legally drive to the race track and assuming you have not blown up the engine during your track day drive it right back home again after refuelling and changing your underpants I'd assume.
5:42 that didn’t age well
Think of it as really fast social distancing.
I thought he was going to say a good drive, would sort it out. But owning an Ariel Atom, would work for me too (if i could afford one).
This car sounds awesome
is this the 2019 model?
The Atom looks like so much fun, too bad Ford didn't pull the trigger on the Indigo, how many enthusiasts would have taken that to the track.
It's pretty awesome, but still think I'd take a Caterham.
Did people complain about the understeer in the originals?
I don't have a photographic memory but I don't recall any reviewer complaining about it.
the gear shift tho
I need one
Track monster mmmmmm...
The want is strong for this one.
You can buy a Ducati Desmosedici for that and it will only accrue value (assuming you dont smash it up)
Ace of spades in the background, noticed ;)
Sounds like it has a mad turbo
Be interesting to see old 'Stigs' reaction to this beastie!. Nuff said.
“Couldn’t do that in the old Atom”. The Stig disagrees.
Tim Schrick didn’t talk about understeer in the old atom...?
It's not a car. It's driving experience personified. And that doesn't come without a compromise. I so want one...
