Ariel Atom

The 2015 Ariel Atom (also known as the Ariel Atom 3S) is a British road-legal high performance open-wheel car made by the Ariel Motor Company, and under license in North America by TMI Autotech, Inc. at Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia.

The vehicle began as a student project by Coventry University transport design student Niki Smart. Known then as the LSC (Lightweight Sports Car), it was developed at the university in 1996 with input and funding from various automotive industry members, including British Steel and TWR. Ariel Motor Company boss Simon Saunders was a senior lecturer whose responsibility for the project was primarily as financial manager and design critic for Smart, whom he described as "The best all-round design student I've ever seen." The Atom was first shown publicly at the British International Motor Show at the NEC in Birmingham in October 1996.
