Ariel Atom 500: extreme supercar gets a V8

Ariel Atom 500

Ariel Atom 300 is an amazing car. It has no roof, nor doors, no windshield and can take you from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.5 seconds.
Now this British manufacturer is working on an extreme version called Atom 500. Power will come from a V8 engine that develops 500 horsepower.
Weight of the car will be around 500 kg (1,100 lbs). Potential 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time will be around 2.5 seconds making it as fast as $1,8 million Bugatti Veyron.
Price of the Ariel Atom 500 will be around $160,000 (115,000 euros). This does not seem much if you compare it to a Veyron, but if you compare it to an Atom 300 it is three times more.
