comes this all-electric concept, the Ariel E-Nomad. The bespoke British manufacturer has taken the Nomad 2 and stripped out its combustion engine, replacing it with a single-speed gearbox and a rear electric motor.Remarkably, Ariel has kept the weight down and even with a 41kWh battery pack the E-Nomad weighs under 900kg. The Nomad 2 and E-Nomad could never be described as practical day-to-day cars; they are pure driver’s machines.
The first home-grown manufacturer to get an enthusiast-approved electric two-seater is going to reap the benefits. Right now, there’s nothing else on the market that matches this blend of zero emissions and entertainment.That low weight and pure EV power give the E-Nomad a power output of 281bhp, good enough for a 3.4 second 0-60mph sprint and also flexible enough to allow the off-roader to crawl across rough terrain.
‘While the E-Nomad is a concept, it does show production intent for the vehicle and hints at just a small part of Ariel’s future,’ says Ariel’s director Simon Saunders. ‘Once it has been through our usual, gruelling testing regime we could opt to add E-Nomad alongside its ICE Nomad 2 sibling, so we’ll take great interest in customer feedback on the concept car.’Receive our daily digest of inspiration, escapism and design stories from around the world direct to your inbox.
