Pros & Cons
What we love
✓Switchable 260/302/305hp power maps and a standard limited-slip differential — genuine drivability range built into every car
✓305hp from a 1,576lb exoskeleton chassis for a 3.4s 0-60mph and 134mph top speed
✓231mm ground clearance and long-travel double-wishbone suspension with anti-dive/anti-squat geometry — built for all-roads, not just tarmac
✓Ford EcoBoost 2.3L turbo (Focus RS-derived) replaces the original Nomad's Honda engine, backed by Ariel's bronze-welded tubular exoskeleton
Considerations
✕No dedicated cargo space and no doors, roof, or windscreen as standard
✕Fuel tank capacity, compression ratio, rev limit, MPG, and warranty term are all unpublished by Ariel
✕Hand-built to order — optioned cars rise substantially above the £68,000 base price
✕No ABS or traction control mentioned anywhere in Ariel's published spec for this variant
