Top Gear fans will remember the Ariel Atom V8, the wild followup to the car that deformed Jeremy Clarkson's face. Thirteen years ago, the 500-horsepower track special showed the world what a true lightweight car could do, posting a 1:15.1 lap around the show's test track. That was the fastest time yet recorded, and miles ahead of the next fastest car, a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which posted a 1:16.8.
