    New Ariel Supercar Will Hit 160 km/h In 3.8 Seconds

    While I was away, news surfaced of a new project being planned by the British manufacturer who brought us the Atom, otherwise known as Ariel and it sounds like it will be an absolute rocket.

    The project is currently codenamed P40 and is a three-partner, three-year project supported by £2 million of funding from the British government.

    Ariel have developed the body, chassis and suspension while Delta Motorsport have given their expertise for the battery, range extender and electronics and Equipmake supplied the electric motors, gearboxes and electronics.

    Unlike the newer supercars these days, the monocoque of the car will be made from folded aluminium sheet which is riveted and bonded to form a tub as opposed to carbon fibre. Thanks to the lightweight underpinnings, the entire package will apparently weigh just 1,600 kg.

    The power for the Ariel Supercar will come in the form of four separate electric motors, each producing 295 horsepower. Connected to each of these motors will be a 42kWh liquid-cooled battery which should provide enough power for flat out performance for 15 minutes.

    The flagship four wheel drive version will feature maximum power of 1,180 hp and should be able to hit 100 mph (160 km/h) in just 3.8 seconds and will be limited to 160 mph (260 km.h).

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
