both cars have the same power, so the acceleration time depends on gradation of gearbox. surely atom has the first and the second gear shorter, but then he needs following gears to be longer. it means that Radical accelerates better than Atom on higher gears and both cars have the same acceleration time from 0 to max speed because Radical catches Atom at the higher speeds.
It's true, I have seen a few of their races that really didn't seem quite right. With a quick look at Wikipedia, the Atom's claimed 0-60 is 2.7 seconds (I don't remember if that was verified or not) and the SR3's is 3.8 seconds. Even if not verified for sure, that's a HUGE difference!
This goes to prove in a long stretch the Radical is faster but in the twisties the Atom owns. I would rather have the car that handles better, you can always modify and upgrade performance parts on a car for more power. But then again same can be said for handling too.
I hope in the last 13 years you've had a chance to experience these cars. The Radical is light years ahead of the Atom in handling. It's not even remotely comparable. This video is bullshit.
@johnulmer1622 i thought the same. Its almost like everything mentioned is opposite. Sr3 vs atoms on a trackday are usually 15+ seconds a lap faster over a 2min lap
@Desmonddd2002 do they have an ariel over 300 bhp? and a v8 that would just defeat the purpose and make it heavier + the radical had years of design before it was even a prototype. i like the ariel but the radical is just faster
Actually, as of June last year, it's a 3.0 litre normally aspirated V8, designed by Russell Savory. The engine weighs only 90 kgs, which is *incredible* considering its claimed output is 500hp... Should be able to blow any Radical away. ;)
Yeah, but the Atom V8 is basically a new car, so it wouldn't have to compete against the old Radical SR3 ... it would have to go up against the Radical SR8 ... which have a 2.7 liter V8 with a nice 430 bhp kick to it.
your confusing better are cornering with easier to take round a corner, when driven by a proffesional driver the radical is a far faster cornering machine because of it's added downforce
Thats probably not true, the SR3's usually sell for about 25,000 US dollars so most people could afford them. the only real barrier would be running cost .
The radical, as she says at the start, is a trackday car, meaning it's legal but impossible to drive on real roads, it can't get over a speed bump. The atom, though slower in straights, is better at cornering, and it's totally road capable. I know which one I'd pick,and it isn't the one with the motorbike engine.
I don't care if it's been 15 years, but the Atom is absolutely not better in the corners. The Radical can brake later, turn in stronger, and carry far more mid corner speed. Sorry, but no version of the Atom can turn laps with the SR3.
they do there is the ariel atom V8 it has 500 horsepower a front and rear wing, lighter weight and a V8 that would kill the radical hands down idk why they tested the ariel atom 300 with the sr8 it should have been radical sr8 vs. ariel 500
i still want the atom i also think she did not push the atom in the corners enough but it was the basic model so maybe she did maybe she did not they could never ever let the Atom win as it was Clarksons/topgears fav (rival tv car show) and fith would not want to agree with a rival
Actually it is true that V8 adds weight to the car but please dont forget it is not a 4.2 litre V8 it is a 2.4 litre ones. And according to Ariel the cars will weight about 500 kilos and becomes the highest power to weight ratio car ever produced with 1000hp per ton But currently the Radical IS faster. I will admit that
@crzygutrsnobrdr Quit it man , this Ariel go kart ís good but , the radical is the king of the hill , owning almost every track in the world with briliant times ;)
@Coolrockndad How are they a joke? The Radical makes a very good very fast track day car. You aren't going to beat it for the money and get a track car that is that level of performance. The Atom is extremely close to performance and is street legal. Sure, it doesn't have a roof and things, but neither does a motorcycle. They both use the basic concept of less weight equals greater performance.
@rcoil84 How about Michèle Mouton? I won't argue that there seem to be fewer good female drivers than male, but that doesn't mean that a woman can't drive the shit out of a car.
@NBSV1 A joke as for as being street cars. They would never be street legal in the U.S. which is were I live. Give me any Lotus any time. Love the Lotus. : )
are you kidding me? the atom V8 has a front and rear wing which makes it not only look but act like a F1 car it has tons of downforce, do your research before you comment on somthing you know nothing about
GOATS You Say The Atom DonT Win, The Atom Wins I See The Ariel Wins VS: BAC Mono Catertham ZENOS Caparo Toyota Kia Subaru Bmw Mercedes F1 Cars Dodge Mclaren Ford Alfaromeo Lamborghini Plymouth Tata Kia Mazda And More... But Loses Vs Volskwagen On The Electric Car Races The Ariel Hipercar Loses Vs The Volskwagen But Ariel Is The 3° Fastest Car On The World SO!??
there are far better drivers than her, she hasn't actually taken part in a proffesional racing sereis, she's dabbled. Done 3 or 4 semi pro rallies and a few small circuit races, but she isn't near as talented as some
The SR3 is also a "DOWNFORCE" car making it much better in the turns.
both cars have the same power, so the acceleration time depends on gradation of gearbox. surely atom has the first and the second gear shorter, but then he needs following gears to be longer. it means that Radical accelerates better than Atom on higher gears and both cars have the same acceleration time from 0 to max speed because Radical catches Atom at the higher speeds.

@johnulmer1622 i thought the same. Its almost like everything mentioned is opposite. Sr3 vs atoms on a trackday are usually 15+ seconds a lap faster over a 2min lap
This was a race between track days cars that Are allowed on the road and the sr8lm isn't a road car but the Arial atom V8 is.
@Desmonddd2002 do they have an ariel over 300 bhp? and a v8 that would just defeat the purpose and make it heavier + the radical had years of design before it was even a prototype. i like the ariel but the radical is just faster

These cars are almost unbeatble.
Yeah, but the Atom V8 is basically a new car, so it wouldn't have to compete against the old Radical SR3 ... it would have to go up against the Radical SR8 ... which have a 2.7 liter V8 with a nice 430 bhp kick to it.

No,Is The Oldest One
The SR3 would still beat it around a track.
@@johnulmerRacing
Which one ?
The SR3 vs the Arial atom ? .. possible, yes.
The SR3 vs the SR8 ? ... I doubt it.
Vicki's screaming of pleasure.
Nice heel and toe there.
I think that atom is not supercharged so everyone calm down
ya your right they released pictures on there web site!. It looks sweet but sadly it is only going to be limited edition with only 500 made :-(
There's a vid of a Radical going up Pikes peak that is truly brutal.
Care to share the link for that?
she used the heel toe method
radical has huge amounts of lateral grip, sticks on the road like a glue
@camcoop25
x2, she's a great driver and a great presenter (one of the best). Also, she can probably cook better than me too. :(
@iceman241111 i guess you havent heard about the sr8 which will destroy any road car
your confusing better are cornering with easier to take round a corner, when driven by a proffesional driver the radical is a far faster cornering machine because of it's added downforce
i'd love to see an Atom with nissan engines... sr20ve perhaps
The Caparo T1 would eat anything you put infront of it
Thats probably not true, the SR3's usually sell for about 25,000 US dollars so most people could afford them. the only real barrier would be running cost .
both have 400 hp/tonne? apparently they are not using the supercharged version of the atom witch has something like 900 hp/tonne.
The radical, as she says at the start, is a trackday car, meaning it's legal but impossible to drive on real roads, it can't get over a speed bump. The atom, though slower in straights, is better at cornering, and it's totally road capable. I know which one I'd pick,and it isn't the one with the motorbike engine.

@CabalDarkDragonclaw
She could embarrass the hell out of you behind the wheel of any car...
Hmm, nice heel and toe downshift at 2:47...
they do there is the ariel atom V8 it has 500 horsepower a front and rear wing, lighter weight and a V8 that would kill the radical hands down idk why they tested the ariel atom 300 with the sr8 it should have been radical sr8 vs. ariel 500
with warmer brakes it would be even faster. Why didn't you do a warm up lap then? Also you should bring out the supercharged Atom
For value; pretty much the same, maybe a slight Atom win.
Straits; the Radical, clearly
overall, Radical
see what you mean but viki is a prity good driver in fairness.
@LukyPEF they both have the same amout of power per ton..its like saying a semi that has 500hp vs a ferrari with 500....its all power to weight
@dugg117 dont forget about the radical SR8
@Pupixario Ariel go kart? Which one has a car engine and which has a bike engine? lol the radical wasnt that much faster.
The Radical is immensely faster. This video was pure bullshit.
i cant stand people who say 120% or any % above a hundred really , if the want to express how hard something is the should try getting a vocabulary
i still want the atom
i also think she did not push the atom in the corners enough but it was the basic model so maybe she did maybe she did not
they could never ever let the Atom win as it was Clarksons/topgears fav (rival tv car show) and fith would not want to agree with a rival
In reality, the SR3 is much faster around a track. This was much closer than it should have been. The Radical should gain 3 seconds for every minute.
I WOULD RATHER BUY THE ATOM
Actually it is true that V8 adds weight to the car but please dont forget it is not a 4.2 litre V8 it is a 2.4 litre ones.
And according to Ariel the cars will weight about 500 kilos and becomes the highest power to weight ratio car ever produced with 1000hp per ton
But currently the Radical IS faster. I will admit that
@TheerIsEre the radical isnt legal in most countries for obvious reasons like ground clearance.
why dont they mention the ultima gtr? it holds the most records for 1 car!
@crzygutrsnobrdr Quit it man , this Ariel go kart ís good but , the radical is the king of the hill , owning almost every track in the world with briliant times ;)
hahaha that atom isnt supercharged
doesnt have any aero kits and there is an atom that weighs 490 kg, has an excellent aero kit and a 500 bhp V8
@gnomeknowsbest Yea cause the radical is SR3 , have you heard about SR8 LMN
Some people just dont get it
And the Radical SR8 would eat that Atom.
jeremy like the radical too lol...
Well they should compare the radical with the 300hp Atom and not with the 220hp Atom... I'dl like to see who wins
The Radical. By far.
@hadabenz it was a joke, chill out
@Coolrockndad How are they a joke? The Radical makes a very good very fast track day car. You aren't going to beat it for the money and get a track car that is that level of performance. The Atom is extremely close to performance and is street legal. Sure, it doesn't have a roof and things, but neither does a motorcycle. They both use the basic concept of less weight equals greater performance.
The Radical Plastic thing wont stand a chance against atom 3 and atom 500 V8
she's very good, better than clarkson atleast, but of course not as good as tiff or plato
@fortziii Go check out the ariel atom v8
a radical sr8lm would eat a v8 atom
@rcoil84 How about Michèle Mouton? I won't argue that there seem to be fewer good female drivers than male, but that doesn't mean that a woman can't drive the shit out of a car.
@NBSV1 A joke as for as being street cars. They would never be street legal in the U.S. which is were I live. Give me any Lotus any time. Love the Lotus. : )
are you kidding me? the atom V8 has a front and rear wing which makes it not only look but act like a F1 car it has tons of downforce, do your research before you comment on somthing you know nothing about
Then compare it with the SR8 ;)
@Vinnygil the sr8 lm lap the nurburgring faster
true
nice
she screams like a scared little girl
street illegal here
radical sr8 would kill the atom 500- the atom has no aerodynamic help!
@iceman241111 put it up to a f1 car if you're gonna make it like that
@mariachibuster lol name 5
Also the atom is 100 grand less
FUCK YOU IS BETTER THAN RADICAL
take the ariel with 300hp, and you'll beat the Radical very easy
Not even close.
@iceman241111 It can't beat the Caterham R500 Superlight
where is the ariel with the 2 busa heads? lol.. cheapest ariel atom vs radical...
GOATS You Say The Atom DonT Win,
The Atom Wins I See
The Ariel Wins VS:
BAC Mono
Catertham
ZENOS
Caparo
Toyota
Kia
Subaru
Bmw
Mercedes
F1 Cars
Dodge
Mclaren
Ford
Alfaromeo
Lamborghini
Plymouth
Tata

But Loses Vs Volskwagen
On The Electric Car Races
The Ariel Hipercar Loses Vs The Volskwagen
But Ariel Is The 3° Fastest Car On The World
SO!??
Yep, but a fake one...
@inkingsakoptata umm, what is nice about it? it's just a normal part of driving ffs.
Radical SR8 would eat Atom v8
Japaneses engines duel :))
@NielsShoe its a good point but she is incredibly annoying.
well maybe if a human was driving the true results would show! atom would own that radical!
lol nice one
mmm nope lmao sorry, now the atom has a v8 version!! race that against the lame ass radical
bo she cant drive
@NielsShoe
hahahahahahaha....but still grantursimo is still hard to play if you realy put some effort into it
0.2 seconds faster? Not enough difference for me, I'd still take the Atom. That Radical is hideous....
Both cars are a joke.
and why is a woman driving???
there are far better drivers than her, she hasn't actually taken part in a proffesional racing sereis, she's dabbled. Done 3 or 4 semi pro rallies and a few small circuit races, but she isn't near as talented as some
I just dont like this women!!
Why?
@iceman241111 Yea cause the radical is SR3 , have you heard about SR8 LMN
