The Ariel Atom comes either with a supercharged 2.0 L Honda K20 inline-four or a supercharged 2.0 L GM Ecotec inline-four. Ariel is building a special “Atom V8” model that will be powered by a 3.0 L V8 built by Hartley Enterprises using two Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle heads. The engine is estimated to make 500 hp and redline at 10,000 rpm. The motor will be paired with a Sadev six-speed sequential transmission. Of course that kind of rarity and power doesn’t come cheap. The engine is estimated to cost $50,000 and the car will be approximately £140,000-£150,000.

This engine will be mounted transverse right? thats why there is the driveshaft going down the front of the block, i wonder how long it will take someone to make something all wheel drive with this
Why so much money!….Just spoils all the fun
the ariel atom supposed to go as fast as the suzuki hayabusa or even faster with 2 suzuki hayabubusa engines
Where and how do i but this motor and transmission just like the one in the picter.
