The acceleration is just astonishing! Its the fastest car I have ever been driven on a track! I remembered the radicals were quite quick that day!

Yes the Radicals are unbelievably quick, especially the SR8. My neck was sore a few days after. And my left ear felt like someone had hit my ear drum with a baseball bat until I used ear plugs. Overtaking Porche GT3's on the outside like they are in slow motion is fun!

Review from This Money.

Best sports cars in the last 10 years.

Not too sure who gave them the price!!

9. Being a good sport awardAriel Atom 4

Unbelievably, the Atom was born 20 years ago, but we're not cheating here as the 2018-launched Atom 4 is pretty much a new car from the ground up. 

The Civic Type R engine is the same, but it's now turbocharged rather than supercharged. 

316bhp shoves the 4's 595kg open-framed mass through the 0-100mph dash one second quicker than the crazily quick Nissan GT-R. 

Pure sports motoring, as long as you don't mind wearing a crash helmet or waiting three years for delivery. They start at £150,000.

Just when you think any modern day track/race car is fast! I have never driven anything this fast!

I thought you were a year late replying....

Trying to convince my wife we should replace my m135i with a GR Yaris. She says I am spending enough on the Atom....

Anyone got a copy/link. Can’t find a magazine anywhere.

Surprised they tested the Atom again this year. Unless they put in the reigning champ.

They will put the article online in a week or two but it isn’t up yet. Does well in the wet this year 👍

At the risk of breaching copyright, I've downloaded all the pages and knitted them together correctly so that none of the photos are cut in half.

(I'll plead ignorance due to my age is questioned about it. :wize: )

Any way, here's the last two with the conclusions of the article.
