Ariel has shown its next all-new model after the Atom and the Nomad and not only is it the first Ariel with doors, but it’s also the first one with any kind of electrification. It looks about as close as any car ever to a road-going Batmobile, it has 1,180 horsepower from its four electric motors and it also has a small jet engine on-board that acts like a range extender.
The low-volume sports car manufacturer has been working on the Hipercar (name will change for the actual production model) for several years and now they have a working prototype. Top Gear was able to get some time behind the wheel and even as an early prototype, it shows a lot of promise.
