Be sure to watch with Headphones for the full effect! The intake noise is incredible. Special thanks to Ace Performance
maybe one day youll get the atom 500
Oh I had the Redgear surround sound headphone and man that was soooooo awesome.....
You can say “shit” on RUclips now
@@AndRootPro way more fun to bleep it with BOV sound
@@TedwardDrives hahaha, I loved how it was bleeped I just wasn’t sure if you had heard the two words that are now allowed
Censoring at 8:55 with the intake noise was a nice touch 😂😂🤣
Good ears 😂
Cracked me up!
Also, at 12:20 the Speedometer was censored >.>
that's the blow off valve..
@@andrewx8888 Even though the police could easily look at this video and tell he was speeding, defeating the purpose of useless censorship.
4:43 - Says he'll at some point forget to turn off the blinkers.
4:57 - Turns on the blinkers and forgets to turn them off after the very 1st corner.
That memory loss was almost as fast as the car itself.
All jokes aside I love your videos and keep up the good work.
5:07 - all he could think about was testing full throttle
That thing looks so damn fun
As close to a bike as I can find. You’d love it
“CHEA!!”
The Ariel Atom cruising to the Last Drop Liquor Store in San Bernardino
CHEEAH
CHEAAA!! Didn't expect to see you here 👌
Those turbo noises are to die for. Being able to hear that solely in my right ear is incredible, lol.
Also, it would be cool if you had the ability to take some of these cars to a track.
I thought it sounds cool, but I can’t imagine if I could ever afford one of these, I won’t return due to the same ear rape after travel over 50 miles with it

@@jasonomnia9295 well to be fair...if you can own this car, it def won't be your daily driver
I didn't even think about it until your comment, but as I'm deaf in my left ear, this video was pretty much made for me haha.
It has a problem about turbo lag though.
10:48 I love how stopping in front of the local firehouse is your segue into mentioning the fire suppression system in the car 😂
😂
This is the perfect "tell me you're single without telling me you're single" car.
The perfect "Tell me you're living your best life without telling me you're living your best life" car lol
Love how he says that 350 HP doesnt sound like alot when thats what most modern day sports sedans are packing and he has it with a fraction of the weight 🤣 This thing is a MONSTER
the atom 3rs made 465hp, and would pull the front wheels off the ground on the street!
EHH…a ninja h2 could make that much
@@DurzoBlint178 No it cant
@@ludvig7473 yes it can
@@DurzoBlint178 The Ninja H2R has like 320...
Yowzers, that acceleration is absolutely insane. Even at mid-range speeds: "I want to go 30 miles an hour faster." Okay, that took half a second.
At 6:45 Ted goes for a phantom indicator stalk and it made me almost fall over with laughter
Just wanted to say I subscribe to a lot of car reviewers/journalists and I look forward to your video more than anyone else. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! That's an incredible way to start my day
Agreed! His videos make my days so much nicer
@@TedwardDrives You know you're the best

@@TedwardDrives did u blur the speedometer at 10:25..😂😂
I love how emotional you get when driving these kinds of cars. With the caterham 7 and now this you had an absolute blast, and it makes my day. Great vid Tedward, have a pleasant day today as well as tomorrow.

This seems just about as wild as when they crammed a V8 into one of these tiny machines!
That intake noise made me instinctively feel like I was gonna be sucked in somewhere, pretty intense
Aerial V8 is definitely my favorite version of it. Big engines on a tiny light car makes a masterpiece, plus I’m a muscle car guy so yeah that’s why I’m biased
"That there is a V8 Ariel, one look at the gas pedal and I'm dead *vroom* HE'S ANGRY HE'S ANGRY"
I absolutely loved the V8 in need for speed most wanted.
No, dude, it wasn't crammed but purpose built, a small V8 with Hayabusa pistons.
Yeah, I wouldnt say "crammed" when it's based off the Busa engine. It's no shitdamn 'murca big/small block. It's a high compression high revving damn near motorcycle engine.
6:48 everyone would reach for the standard blinker switch.
#RespectTheDrive!
haha i didn’t even see it lol
That's so funny. Try getting used to driving in New Zealand and then coming back to the states. Every time I turned the wipers came on.
ruclips.net/video/qwnOzsfpKMA/видео.html
lmao nice spot!
Not in California, most people don't use them anyway !
I would lose my license so fast in this.. That sound it makes is insane! just insane
You might aswell not even stop
@@Sir.TrikzZ I’m fine losing my license but I’d rather not lose 3 years of my life because of the car
@@Sir.TrikzZ tbh most cops wouldn't even know what it is unless they're a car guy(not likely)
They would know what to call it, "Dispatch it's B 69, uh it's black red and has no roof. Send all units"
@@joemoment-o1275 😂
8:23 even 7300 RPM ain't enough for this mad lad. Props for giving it the full beans as always
I can't stand how expensive these things are. I know there's a decent amount of engineering going into them and they're all handbuilt and use quality components, but at the end of the day it's still a glorified go-kart with a crate engine. $100K is criminal.
well... you don't have to buy it, do you? :) is eth rock worth $1.3M? this thing at least seems to be pure adrenaline and genuine fun. I would skip the hate just coz of the price
You can get a gixxer 1000 for 5 grand and be faster than this thing will ever be
The new lotus is also 100k but it’s a twin turbo v8
So build one for $50k
Crate engine?
This would hurt some feelings in a track!
Imagine being the guy who brought your million dollar supercar to the track day only to become a rolling chicane on the actual track.
Only thing that irks me about it is the wheel choice. $75k and still have cast wheels?
@@CODE-BROWN They do carbon wheels as an option.
@@CODE-BROWN for the poors. Also, I imagine if you're wanting to wheel swap anyways to something you like (either for style or uniqueness), then you probably want the cheapest wheel option or even an option for no wheels (but it's kind of hard to test drive without wheels). It's kind of like road bicycles, often they have the $hittiest rubber tires and often aluminum wheelsets because they know you're going to put your favorite road course tires and favorite carbon wheelsets on it so no real point giving something expensive that you won't use anyways so they slap something cheap on it for starting with. I do think there should be a stripped down no wheels option, but then we might end up with a no-seats, np wheels, no brakes, no engine option and just be buying a frame (which would be good for some)
it just feels different when a RUclipsr drives a rare car like that through your home town.
I was shocked when he pulled out of Great Brook! ive lived on 225 for like 14 years - so cool to see him ripping up the streets of carlisle
Man, I finally got a chance to get in an Atom 3 this summer on a small french race track. It was amazing, so .... ufo, not seen or felt ever before. That whine felt like it wanted to suck the helmet, hairs and shirt through the scoop. The braking was stupid strong without aero, I don't know it felt so wrong to be in that "thing", but so glad this exist.
Teddy, I gotta say I’ve been loving the variety of vehicles. Great work yet again.
Wow the audio is killer too. That induction noise in my right ear is deafening! In a very good way.
Thank you Jeremy!
Wow, how convenient is it that there's a smudge on the camera right over the speed?
The sound is incredible, I would love to experience it
Get yourself a civic type R. This is exactly how my car sounds. Obviously roll the windows down and it’s louder.
Sorry to say this but honestly that sucking sound got right on my tits.
This car is not for me.
I'm from Brazil and i love to watch your videos! It's so light, simple and good that car enthusiasts, like me and like others from all across the globe can enjoy your content.
Thanks for making these videos man! They put us in the driver's seat of cars that not everyone gets a chance to drive, and it's something I very much appreciate. Fascinating work!
Those roads make me want to move to wherever this was filmed
Massachusetts I’m assuming is where it was filmed.
Average New England backroads
He said the car was from Ace Performance. They’re located in Tewksbury, Massachusetts which is north of Boston. There are lots of great roads in New England for driving. I live in northwest Connecticut and it’s the same here: lots of winding hilly or mountain roads, and lots of empty back roads. The only problem is you can’t go very far without running into state or local police, and many of the secondary roads have lots of potholes that are often very deep and wide. You can also forget about spirited driving most of the year because of snow and ice.
He started in great Brook state park, Carlisle Massachusetts then, rt 225 to Bedford.
No you don’t. I live in the area he’s driving in. Most of the roads are in horrible condition.
Great video as always. I love these so much because it’s a break from those youtubers who will do anything but DRIVE the damn car. Nice to see someone that knows what they’re talking about and gives great real world driving impressions.
I take the same highway exit to work and now can't un-see how much more fun it would be in an Atom. Great review!
A new commuter vehicle for Alexandra!
This is absolutely crazy tbh
Just found your channel, very impressed. You're local to me, I'm just over the border in NH, and I've wanted to stop by Ace Performance to check out the Atom 4, this might be just the nudge I need. Very cool seeing local roads! My channel is way smaller, but awesome to see a local car enthusiast making it big! Congrats! Enthusiastically subbed!
-Fred
Fantastic video my friend, man that Ariel Atom looks like a super blast to drive ! The feel of an open wheel, turbo motor and so light an agile must be an orgasmic automotive experience.. What a piece of automotive art and engineering !
Yes! The Ariel Atom is So. Much. Fun. It is hard for an Atom driver to stop smiling about it.
Enjoyed this one! Love that turbo sound, fantastic.
I was like dang...this is cool I might have to see about getting one: "And for $100k or $75k..." Aha. I see. Another thing I can't afford. Moving on!
Wow, the audio tells me exactly what the sound would be like if I was ever lucky enough to drive one. Great review. I love it!
The engine and exhaust sound great. The whooshing turbos at every shift would drive me nuts. Deal breaker for me.
I have been hoping since you started getting some rarer cars you would get one of these eventually. This is my next "dream car" unless somebody can convince me out of it. But they are so rare I have never even gotten to see one in person. They just seem so insane and they aren't THAT out of reach price wise.
they're hand-crafted and tailored in england to the buyers arent they
@@dontmindme4466 they have a manufacturing facility here in America where they have made atleast the atom 3 and now 4. And yes they are generally built to order to my knowledge. They don't have THAT many options though
@@mitchellcontente ahh ok. thought they had like bac mono level customizations.
@@dontmindme4466 yeah they aren't tailor-made to the driver's dimensions. They have movable seats atleast.
@Troy Gaeckler they are on BAT a lot too. They still cost 50-65k for an older one though or 75-110k for a newer one. Need more funds. And it would be nice to at least see one in person first before dropping that much money on a toy. But they are very rare
Can you do more of this car please. This was so freaking awesome. No one else has video of this car in the pov quality you do.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for putting the time and effort into making it.
I just want you to know that this film is only reason I want to buy Ariel atom in the next few years :)
You practically drove by my house man! Recently discovered that ace performance was less than a mile away from me all along. Thanks for bringing some excitement to tewksbury! It's boring as hell here
Love your work,man❤️
I appreciate that!
I been searching for a channel like this for years. I appreciate a real driver out here driving the cars that you do
Thanks for experience. Awesome pov
The sense of speed this car conveys is absolutely insane! It looks terrifying to drive
Man that turbo noise is next level!Another amazing video as always keep up the great work.
Thanks, Glad you enjoy it!
Can you rent these ?
Have owned an Atom2 for 12+ years. Tons of fun. Mine is supercharged with "only" 300whp. Nothing keeps up on a track. Nothing. It's easier to get into with a quick release steering wheel hub. No understeer issues with the earlier cars once you put the correct springs and dampers on it. Tires are everything. I run 205s up front and 275s out back,both A7 Hoosiers. Best fun on 4 wheels..!!
Thanks for test drive and sharing, it was interesting! 🔥
They used to have a 3.5 L V8 that made 500hp. Only added 55lb to the weight of the car. That thing was insanity. Not that over 500 hp/ton in this is anything to scoff at. You definitely seemed to enjoy that little monster.
I cant believe how quick 17 minutes just passed!!
That looks like incredible fun!
So awesome! Looks more fun than a porche. More realistic of a goal for most as well. I'll definitely be doing more research on these cars
really good POV ,great commentary thanks for posting.
Thanks!
Tedward, what have you DOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!
Now it's yet ANOTHER car for me to go crazy for, and that I cannot afford! 😞
You just keep making me increase the list, dammit!! 🤣
Also, neat way to censor words with the BOV @ 8:55 😂
And...as impractical as it may be...I'd still wanna daily-drive the sh-**BOV sound** [lol] outta this thing!
I think the sound is the waste gate
@@erikz1337 Wouldn't the wastegate be louder as he goes WOT, as the valve opens to maintain boost at the correct levels?
Or could be just the air returning from the intake like a car without BOV does. So much so that it gives a little bit of that 'surge' sound when you let go of the throttle...
But I don't know if this engine has the BOV from factory or not. I do know the Mercedes' 2.0L 4-cyl. from the -45 models (A/CLA/GLA) doesn't have it. :O
what an amazing ride if I ever get 80k laying around I now know what I am buying. Awesome content Tedward! From NH
Dude. I gutta say this. This is the first video I watch of your work (didn't finish yet throw to 11:37) didn't know you existed till now, but then here I am feeling like I'm driving this beautiful piece of mid-life crisis magic carpet powered by Honda! Good job sir 😎 I love cars and I always did. I've watched top gear and ground tour over and over. Yet somehow this is more authentic than the rest! Keep up the good work mate. Subscribed.
Awesome Car, sound from that intake was crazy. Thank you as always Tedward
Been in one of these round a track and even with a helmet the induction noise is unbelievable
Your videos give such a good idea of what it really feels like to be driving the cars, I don't know of any other channel that gives me the smile that I would be getting if I was the driver!
Thank you! I also love George Russell haha
@@TedwardDrives Whats not to like about him haha!

amazing job on the audio, this video is top notch, top shelf, top trump, stop drop and roll, like always
Thanks for this video. This car deserves a spot on my bucket list 😀
It's got a similar p/w ratio to gt1 race cars, which usually were around 600hp 1100kg or 2420lbs
It's so strange watching a car review video that takes place very close to where I live. Seeing this thing absolutely gobble up roads that I'm familiar with is jaw dropping! Great driving and great review!
Thanks Hannah!
Thanks, Hannah! 👍
Most beautiful turbo sound I’ve heard in a while
One of my favorite videos of yours what a machine!
Hey Tom, I've got a supercharged Atom 3 local if you wanted to do a comparison
That would be a blast! shoot me an email tedwarddrives@gmail.com and we can talk about it
Fingers crossed this happens, sounds like an amazing car (vehicle?)
If I ever want a high-fear, vomit-inducing stress situation; I'd go for this.
Surprisingly well-mannered among the usual, for a vehicle designed to be a track weapon and a bare-boned brute. This starts living where I shift up :D
Those whistles .. Also those accelerations
Amazing!!! Sound like a hell!! Congrats !!
Great video! Love to see my hometown during fall! I love the roads in the area, although they are getting pretty crowded! Keep it up!
Definitely getting it when FH5 comes out 🥲
I got the privilege of driving one of those! Pays to have rich ass clients. I felt more safe on my GSXR. It was wild! Lol 😂
I came upon this video by chance. I've seen the Atom in other videos being driven around the Nordschliefe a few times, but never on roads I'm quite familiar with (Rt. 4/225, as a cyclist!). Yes, the Atom is what I'd call a "pure" car - no frills, no extra's, just pure vehicle. What a rush!
75-100k?! Oh man, I honestly expected like 20k. At the end of your day you are only getting a street legal gokart that rips. Great video as always, I am currently binging your channel.
So.. what you are telling me is that it's essentially a big boy go-kart on steroids?
Wow, it accelerates just like a super bike (albeit with a shorter rev range). It would be so much fun on the Nordschleife
If this revved to 9 or 10k I'd be soooooo happy
I'm just starting to get to grips with mine and it's crazy how different the experience is in different settings. I've been a passenger with a pro on a race circuit and it's savage compared to other supercars. Last week I took it on a drift track with the same pro to practice some car control. Great fun and learnt a lot in under an hour but when he drove it around the drift track it was awesome and terrifying as a drift machine in equal measure. Then drove home at under the speed limit on the motorway and it's very very intimidating due to how exposed you feel. Then finally I took it for a blast on some local country roads on a sunny evening last night with no helmet and no windscreen and it was just fabulous without going over the speed limit (lots of pot holes and still very cautious). Now counting the hours before I can go out again. I can't imagine a better sports/super car.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR AN ATOM VIDEO FOREVER! I'm so excited to watch
Great drivers car, the British make the best sports cars overall
12:24 He's not blurring the speedometer. The insane acceleration blurs it. Something about physics.😀
Now now, lying ain’t good
I've always loved the Atom's. Bucket list!
Very slick segue into mentioning the fire extinguisher!
This sounds just like my Mitsubishi Evo 10, such an amazing sound looks like a lot of fun!
Hey not everyone gets to drive the cars you do 😆 350 hp sounds like a lot
the internet thinks anything less than 800 is a base civic lol
Oh yes… as far as central Florida goes, it is hard to find a better collection of roads. Grew up driving out here and frequent this area now in exotics. Looks like they’ve really refined this platform. Temptation!
I remember the debut of Jeremy Clarkson reviewing the original Atom probably close to 20 years ago. That video struck the speed cord in my heart and I’ll never forget it. I’ve had some fast cars since, but discovered that motorcycles ultimately scratched the itch for me. Still, if I ever have the means, an Atom is still on the list! 😆
An enthusiast's dream. This would be amazing on the TN/NC/GA mountains. The video and audio came out really great!
Like to take this up blood mountain, the dragon etc
Amazing “car” (more like a grown man’s absolutely awesome street legal death machine) 👍! As awesome as this review is, I think you should also do a POV of the Slingshot. Why? Because I know that you don’t understand their appeal (as mentioned in the Mercedes “limo” video) and I know that I also don’t understand them, so maybe you and some other people can get to know the Slingshot a little better! Plus you and Topher are one of the best car reviewers here on RUclips so it’s best if one of you two were to review one, rather than somebody else!!
Great review. Thanks
What a car and what a video! I enjoyed every second of it.
That blow of valve would get real annoying very quickly.
I always find it funny when car guys experience even remotely decent Power to weight ratios, motorbikes give you that even from rather underwhelming bikes, then again combined with the usual lack of wind protection it really desensitises your feeling of speed, it's a bit of a shame because nothing under 700hp/tonne will ever feel crazy fast to you anymore... That does look like a weapon on track though, but not sure it's "90 grand" good.
@Beau Gus True, but that's mainly because of the different cornering philosophies. You're still looking at 100k+ cars to approach superbike cornering speeds, the difference is that in a car it's very easy to reach the limit of corner speed whereas on a bike it's extremely difficult to be confident in carrying speed through a corner. There is big differences even between WSBK and Super Stock corner speeds, let alone between your average street rider vs a MotoGP rider. In cars, even your average decent driver can extract 90% of a car's potential, same can't be said for bikes. Back to the philosophies, even with knowing all this, you simply gotta use what you have, the worse your power to weight ratio, the more you got to rely on keeping your speed up, therefore high corner speeds, whereas with bikes, since they have extreme power to weight ratios, it's actually faster to stretch every straight section of the track to be as long as possible, by braking very late and very hard, quickly making the turn and then getting on the gas as soon as possible.
it's interesting as someone who got used to bikes before cars (though I haven't ridden a bike in a few years). The 125 I had pulled harder then some of the cars I've driven. That said, yeah, you're *extremely aware* of the pavement on two wheels, and I probably wouldn't go anywhere near a liter-bike's potential even though I feel like I could take one around the block without killing myself.
first video of yours ive watched. killer!!! now subbed
Excellent vid!
First uwu
Getting closer to the power to weight ratio of super bikes. Very cool!
Thank for the run! and absolute beasr!!!!
The sound is glorious
Dream car right here. Sending chills down my spine Mr. Tedward. 🥴
its so fun watching this dude just have a blast on this car.
Awesome vid man! 🔥
Loved every second of this video
