Description
The Ariel Nomad is like no other. No other vehicle offers you the choice of going off-roading, track day driving, or simply enjoy the roads around you - all in one neat package. The most you need to do is adjust the suspension - easily adjustable thanks to the lack of bodywork around them - and go harder for track use or softer for off-roading.
This example presents in lovely condition and impressive specification - please see the full list below. Having been cared for to the highest level, it doesn't bare any of the usual wear and tear this type of vehicle normally shows. In fact, a regular damage area for the Nomad are the undertrays/ damage guards - this example has only a few light scratches accrued from general road use; please see the gallery for pictures.
While originally specified as an N/ A car, this has been upgraded by Ariel to Supercharged specification and now produces 300bhp and 251 lb ft of torque - quite the jump from its original 235bhp/ 221 lb ft. This amount of power in a vehicle weighing only 700kg gives eye-watering performance - 60mph passes in barely over 3 seconds, while 100 mph takes only 7. 4 seconds.
To put that inter perspective, let's have a look at some other vehicles for a benchmark:
Nissan R35 GTR - 0-100mph 8. 5 seconds
Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991) 0-100mph - 7. 8 seconds
Porsche 911 Turbo S (991) 0-100mph - 7. 1 seconds
Mercedes AMG GT R 0-100mph - 7. 3 seconds
Even against a list of heavy hitters, the Nomad shows its genuine supercar performance. Top speed is limited by aerodynamics and tyre choices however is comfortably above the 125mph or so that Ariel suggest.
This example is now due its major service which is booked with Ariel for the end of August 2024 which is circa £1, 500 - The owner is open to negotiation for this to be included within the sale.
