About this 2021 Ariel Atom
This 2021 Ariel Atom is for sale now in Sydney. It is NSW registered until May 2027, so it can be driven on the road straight away or taken to a track day.
An exposed tubular chassis, visible suspension and an open cockpit make the Ariel Atom instantly recognisable. Hand-built in Britain, the fourth-generation Atom combines its distinctive lightweight design with turbocharged Honda power and a six-speed manual gearbox.
This example has travelled 950 km and presents beautifully in black with a contrasting red intake cover, black alloy wheels and a particularly clean cockpit. A full windscreen with wiper adds useful protection while retaining the Atom’s unmistakable open-air experience.
Cars like this are rare in Australia: the only comparable options are usually a kit-built car such as a PRB or Caterham, or a KTM X-Bow. This is a car for true driving enthusiasts.
