Looking at the pics on the website, their probably embroiled in a court battle with Ariel. Would be great value if it was to make production though.

people go to all the time, effort and cost of developing a new bespoke sports car.... then give up at the last hurdle and just copy someone else.

Isn't copying someone else giving up at the first hurdle??? After all, if you've copied someone else then you haven't gone to the time, effort & cost of developing anything new at all have you?





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

err, yes I guess that does make sense. First hurdle that is.... or do we say they are still in the starting blocks? Or locked in the changing room whilst the Aerial Atom is on the podium

A lawsuit

Looking at it now if I was the guy in charge of Ariel I'd be rather annoyed right now... It looks remarkably similar. Iirc the Atom is rear engined though?

The images have been pretty much copied from Ariel images and the only change is the additional air scoop.
