Ariel - Nomad 2 Price: £80,000
Last Updated On: 24/02/2025
The latest Ariel Nomad opens up a whole new dimension to having fun on four wheels. It's sometimes known as the Atom’s mucky brother but the Nomad redefined what a performance on/off roader should be. Where the Atom is to road and track, the Nomad is to road and off it. Whether it’s a twisty road, a gravel track, a WRC rally stage, a green lane, a desert or just a grassy field the Nomad calls this home.
Every Nomad is individually made by a single technician for each owner so that Ariel are able to tailor fit the customer's exact needs and wishes. From winches and spotlights to engine and gearbox upgrades plus different damper options, different wheels, different tyres, nudge bars, carriers.
Outboard, long travel suspension, double unequal wishbones and tough body panels that you can bash, as it’s the same stuff that traffic cones are made from, and all enclosed in a complete safety cage, protecting driver and pasenger.
Right behind you lurks a Ford 2.3 Ecoboost engine, improving considerably on Nomad's previous Honda powerplant. Power output is now 260 bhp at 5900 rpm, torque 380Nm at 2500 rpm, resulting in a pretty quick time to 60mph (97km/h) of 3.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 134mph (216 km/h)! Weighing in at just 715kg obviously helps with these healthy performance figures.
