AutoCar is  reporting that the Ariel Atom V-8 will be sold for £120,000 when it goes on sale next year in the United Kingdom.  That’s approximately $200,000 at the current exchange rate and still a steal considering the car’s Veryon-like performance numbers, including a zero-to-60-mph time of 2.5 seconds. Power comes from a small 3.0-liter V-8 making 500 hp and weighed down by only 1,100 lbs. Only 25 V-8 Atoms will be built and word is 19 of them are already spoken for. The current Ariel Atom 3 sells within the United States for $65,000 and is powered by a 245-hp four-cylinder engine; a supercharged 300-hp option is available.
