The Ariel Nomad is the Atom sports car’s ‘big and dirty’ brother and the answer to the question ‘just what would an ‘Atom with knobbly tyres be like?

Designed in-house by Ariel in Somerset, the Nomad shares the Atom’s lightweight perimeter space chassis and high performance credentials but outboard suspension, raised ground clearance, long travel dampers, damage resistant body panels and a whole host of off-road options mean the Nomad can venture to places most car owners couldn’t even consider.

Like the Atom and Ace motorcycle, the Nomad uses Honda Power. Nestled in the back is the trusty Honda 2.4 litre, 4-cylinder Type R engine delivering 235bhp. As you’d expect, the lightweight Nomad is no slouch, 0-60 is covered in just 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of 136mph.
