How far has the new Nomad improved on the original? One way to find out...
A sunny British summer's day is already a great time to drive the new Ariel Nomad, but coming so soon after Monterey Car Week feels especially opportune. Following what felt like dozens of carbon-clad, overstyled pieces of unobtanium that’ll likely never see blue sky ever again, to drive a car explicitly designed to be used hard, to make every single mile - on road or off it - an absolute hoot, is very welcome indeed.
Having never experienced a supercharged Ariel before, it makes sense to passenger in Will’s car first. His Nomad is just as wild as it looks; even having driven turbo’d Atoms of similar power, there’s something about the intensity of the supercharged delivery that feels so potent, so thrilling. Little short of salt, tequila and lime will bring tears to your eyes and joy to your soul so quickly.
The performance potential of the new powertrain is enormous. There’s some lag to contend with from the Ecoboost unit, which is only really highlighted because of the torrent that follows. It's hard to imagine that being dropped from a plane would have the Nomad accelerate any harder than it does between 2,000rpm and 5,500rpm.
