With The Stig behind the wheel, the Atom 4R lapped the Top Gear test track in 1:13.7.<\/li>\n
A modified version of the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder from the Civic Type R delivers 400 hp.<\/li>\n
The car beat out icons including the Pagani Huayra and Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The Ariel<\/a> Atom has long been one of the nuttiest, most track-focused cars on the planet, and 18 months ago, the small British manufacturer launched the 4R. This little beast uses the same engine as a Honda Civic Type R and has proven itself to be quicker than the previous king of all Atoms; the flagship V8 featured in Top Gear<\/a> back in 2011.<\/p>\n
