Ariel Atom 3 by Wimmer RS - Click above for image gallery
It doesn't get much more extreme than the Ariel Atom. But Wimmer RS has managed to do exactly that.
The German tuning house has taken the Atom 3 and boosted output of the 2.0-liter turbocharged Honda four up from 300 horsepower to 340. The engine mods are carried out by a remapped ECU, rebuilt compressor and new fuel pump and exhaust with Rennkat converter. The extra power coupled with the same low 1,034-pound curb weight, the Wimmer RS Atom is capable of rocketing to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a scant 2.8 seconds and on to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 7.1.
That's mighty quick no matter which way you look at it, and look at it you may in the image gallery below, with full details in the press release after the jump.
