My hunch is that if the UK Ariel was going that way, they'd have done it already and the US would follow ..
So in the UK, we'll probably forgo the K24 altogether and go for the new Honda turbo engine?

That would be mine too, but just as Honda now how a challenge with the Civic Type R, so I guess will Ariel. I'm referring to the much lower red-line, and so less charismatic engine.
That said one of the engine's I liked the most in recent times was a turbo charged 2litre.... loved the way you could feel and hear the boost building. However I like the direct nature of the current Atom, it goes hand in hand with the lack of weight and inertia free feel.

LOL, I can tell you for a fact the New Type R's engine has a charisma all of its own!......306 bhp of lurvliness standard.
