We’ve got our hands on an Ariel Atom 4R, and it’s going up against a BMW M4 Competition!

The question is, do you think this little pocket rocket can take down a fully-fledged BMW M car? Let’s take a closer look.

The Atom 4R is powered by a 2-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder that delivers 406hp and 500Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed sequential gearbox, and it weighs in at only 665kg! As new, it’ll cost you around £80,000.

Up next is the BMW. Under the M4’s bonnet is a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six with 530hp and 650Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,775kg. As new, it costs around £91,000.

So the BMW is up on power, but the Ariel is SO much lighter! Will the weight prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Thanks to Ariel for joining us for this race:
