THE TOTALLY MAD ARIEL NOMAD

The Ariel Nomad has hit the US and ACE Performance was one of the first to drive this amazing machine.  The Nomad is the versatile off-road capable brother of the iconic Ariel Atom.  It has been creating a massive stir in the automotive press as it is a bold design that redefines fun.  

 When we were tossed the key to the new Nomad Tactical at the US manufacturer TMI Autotech in South Boston, VA, we grabbed a couple of GoPro cameras and set out to see what the Nomad had to offer.  The result of our impromptu test drive yielded a video montage that has made its way onto the front page of a gaggle of automotive blogs.  One of our favorite blog releases was written by Blake Z. Rong of "Road and Track" - You Can Now Get An Ariel Nomad in America.  

You can check out the ACE Performance Ariel Nomad web page or reach out to us directly for more details on the available options for the Ariel Nomad. We will have our first Nomad in July - act fast to grab yours this summer.

On Monday May 30th at 9pm EST/ 8pm C - BBC's Top Gear Season 23 premier will feature the Ariel Nomad as well as the Zenos E10S, another car that we have here at ACE for development. Set your DVRs.

Many other autoblogs picked up the ACE Performance Ariel Nomad story and video.  Here are a few of the links:

Hooniverse - Off Road Nomad available in America

"This is a short video of my friend Baer, an northeast Ariel Atom distributor, and one of his clients, Colin, grinning like idiots while having some fun in the Ariel Nomad around TMI AutoTech’s facility in Halifax County, Virginia. That is where the Nomad will be assembled, along the with the Atom. While the two Atoms may look similar, they actually completely different vehicles, albeit powered by the same Honda 2.4-liter 230-horsepower iVTEC engine mounted over the rear axle." - Kamil Kaluski

Autoblog - Ariel Nomad

"It's been a long wait, but the Ariel Nomad – the Atom's jacked-up, mud-slinging sibling – is finally available in the US. In fact, it's manufactured in the US, too, by TMI AutoTech, who will also sell you one if you're local to its Virginia plant. If you're not nearby, there are regional distributors that'd be happy to hook you up." - Alex Kierstein

Carbuzz.com - Ariel Nomad - Wonderfully Insane

"Just in time for its off-road performance with Matt LeBlanc at the wheel on the revamped Top Gear, the Ariel Nomad off-road hellraiser can now be bought in the US. And like its track-tastic Atom counterpart, the US-spec Nomad will also be manufactured in the US by TMI AutoTech, Inc. Those anxious to pull the trigger and buy one should be able to place their orders shortly, if not already. One of Ariel’s US dealers, ACE Performance, located in Tewksbury, Massachusetts was recently handed the keys to the first completed Nomad." - Jay Traugott

While we were in Virginia we made sure to drive an Atom 3S to remind ourselves of how immensely fun and easy it is to drive this supercar. ACE has an allocation pending that would allow for a summer delivery of an Atom 3S. Please contact us ASAP if you would like to take this allocation and personalize the options of this car.
