All of a sudden come the British with a brother for the brilliant Atom. Quite a mud-minded brother even.

The crazy Atom is perhaps the ultimate trackday weapon for the notorious circuitganger. The thing weighs less than a shopping cart and offers, depending on the motorization, capabilities where even cars of around the 1,500 kg fine forward would come. The perfect car so to the importance of norms and values to promote.

Because pure asphalt, after a while, get bored, have the men behind the brand, now a rear-wheel drive off-roader that, of course, is based on the Atom. How to share this Nomad chassis with z’n circuitgerichte brother, though there are some adjustments to made.

In addition, the Nomad is a longer travel and other off-road bells and whistles. This is the newcomer about 150 kg heavier than an Atom, what the total weight is about 700 kg. Despite these adaptations would become the new Ariel, by the way, still as a fish in the water and feel it on the asphalt.

The (basic)motorization consists of a 2.4-liter viercilinderblokje of Honda with about 200 hp. That power is through a mechanical differential lock on the rear wheels is transferred. The interior shows further similarities with that of the Atom, and the customer can have his’n Nomad from the front to the back to the desired colouring.

This snazzy trolley is next month and presented according to Autocar we can have a starting price of around 30.000 GBP to expect. That’s a lot of money for a fairly impractical car, but what would we like to agree a forest path or a bit unsafe…

UPDATE (06-01): We need more picture! Check the gallery below for pictures, a video, on Autojunk.

Also has Ariel announced that the Nomad wants to go racing and we can already say that this offroad funmobiel in the United Kingdom, a bare-bones price (without taxes) of 27,500 pounds.
