Because the Ariel Atom simply isn’t mental enough and there simply isn’t enough crazy in the world, South Carolina-based tuners DDMWorks had to go and twin-charge it: a Borg-Warner turbo mated to a Harrop supercharger. An Atom weighs 1,375 from the factory, and with over 300 horsepower on tap, it’s 4.6-pounds-per-horse allows the standard Atom to hit 60 miles per hour from a standstill in less than three seconds. Obviously, that’s not enough…

So throw the instant-reaction combo of a supercharger and a turbocharger, and you’ve got 375 hp to play with and just 3.4-pounds-per-horse. If they do any more, it’ll be faster than your reflexes. You can read about DDM’s work in the presser after the jump, and check out the atomic Atom in the gallery of photos below.
