Ariel Motor Company, has selected Yokohama tyres as original equipment (OE) for two of its vehicles – the Ariel Atom and the Ariel Nomad. Effective immediately, the Atom will be available to customers fitted with Yokohama’s Advan Sport V105 tyre. From later in 2024, all Ariel Atoms will be fitted with Yokohama’s Advan Sport V105 as part of an exclusive one-make supply agreement.
Yeovil-based Ariel Motor Company is probably best-known for the hair-raising fun associated with its Ariel Atom and Nomad. However, last August the company entered supercar territory with the launch of the 1180 bhp electric-powered Hipercar.
The Ariel Nomad lacks doors and a roof, but fortunately the new machine from the creator of the Atom is well-equipped in the wheel department – and as these wheels needed tyres capable of handling everything the lightweight, 235BHP Nomad could throw at them, Yokohama was chosen to supply the rubber.
