The Ariel Atom is one of the most famous cars in the world, with a V8 -powered V8 .

It was created through a very unusual process that involved the creative use of a pair of Suzuki motorcycle engines.

The company we know today was founded in 1991 under the name of Solocrest Limited , later changed to Ariel Motor Company in 1999 .

Ariel Atom is a pure, bare-bones track toy with no pretense of luxury and no purpose other than being sheer driving fun.

The V8 -powered version of the Atom was first introduced in 2010 , a decade after the first incarnation of the model made its debut.

The Atom 500âs engine, a 3.0-liter Hartley V8 , had a slightly unusual development process in that the very first prototype of this engine was created by grafting together two Suzuki motorcycle engines.
