    Ebay FOTD - V8 Atom

    2006 Ariel Atom 2.8l v8 400bhp. Sounds like massive fun, but I didnt realize that they had actually started production on these. It actually looks like a custom job, since it doesnt have the revised sides, and a different size motor.

    Also, with prices on the v8 atom starting at around $160,000 , this may be a really good alternative for someone desiring a bit more from the atom.

    This is the Palatov Motorsport tuned Ariel, some of you may know this guy from dp vehicle home. It's the pre-production model in a sense that he was the first to perform this conversion, and he did it properly the whole way. You can follow the entire build on the mentioned website.
