Ariel Motors has announced a new one-make race series for their amazing Atom track-car. The new Atom Cup is set to begin in 2013 and has been described as a spec racing series, similar to the Porsche Cup, Ferrari Challenge, and Lamborghini Trofeo. The races will be held at Silverstone, Brands Hatch, and other tracks in the British Islands. For this racing series, Ariel has transformed the standard Atom into the Atom Cup. The car has received a new body kit, a full rollover protection for driver’s safety, Ohlins dampers, and Yokohama racing slicks. It will be powered by a 2.0-liter Honda i-Vtec four-cylinder engine that delivers a total of 245 HP. This output will be enough to sprint the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds and up to a top speed of 145mph. For those interested, Ariel will be offering three different packages. The Bronze package includes the Atom Cup car, entry fees for all the races, and a pit space at a price of £53,195 plus VAT (about $83K at the current rates). Next is the Silver package (£59,955 plus VAT, or about $93K) which adds one new set of tires per weekend and one race assistant. The final package is the Gold (£69,652 plus VAT, or about $108K) which adds secure car storage, maintenance between events, and transport to all the race weekends. .
16 comments: Ariel Atom Cup Arguing for the price? We must also focus on the design and specifications of the car. On that, we will figure out if the value of the price fits to it.
 With a great package like what they have on Atom, you don’t have to question the price that it has. You can look at the details of the package.
 This car is amazing, the engine and its interior design was unexpected. However, the price is too much. Even though this car is amazing, I think this will not be on the car sales.
 If Ariel Motors hosted this racing series, they have to prepare their Atom more than the time they have allotted on this 2013.
