Ariel Atom may not look like your ordinary supercar but do not let the looks deceive you. It is extremely light weight and delivers between 200-300 horsepower all the while providing handling characteristics that can rival some of the best exotic cars at a fraction of the cost. If top end speed is not important to you than Atom represents one of the quickest and most affordable supercars that feel perfectly at home on the track.
