- Nope, the spelling isn’t wrong, Ariel is merely using the word differently, a contraction of ‘High Performance Carbon Reduction’. So 'Hipercar'. Carbon emissions rather than carbon fibre. There’s a lot of the latter about, although underneath the chassis is aluminium and most of the body sections are weighty 3D-printed test panels. It’s 1,759kg as it sits here, but Ariel is confident of dropping that below 1,500kg with full carbon panels and carbon wheels. The jet turbine is a range extender - it exists to charge the 56kWh battery, not drive the wheels. Available as either 2WD or 4WD, with or without the jet turbine, full house versions are likely to be knocking on the door of seven figures. That’s a complete sea change for Ariel, for a car without classic hypercar elegance. But this is new tech, new age, new customer base. It’s something totally different, something wild and outrageous, the essence of Ariel in electric form.

Gotta appreciate when a company has the balls to do something weird
Too true dude! That’s aerials MO isn’t it? Engineering with just enough crazy thrown in to make things a bit nutty.
definitely, weird is cool, but this thing is just ugly lol
Rich people loves weird sht
We need a lot more of this in every branch of engineering.
Weird they need to work more on something like till we get to where we are driving something like they do on starwars this seems like something I like to start being the future
A JET TURBINE??? 🤘
Finally an EV that takes full advantage of NOT needing to be traditional.
They are called APUs. Just like in a commercial jet. :)
@@redbarchetta8782 can't diesel generators be called APU too?
I wish it had V8 or V10 what a shame.
@@nitroxwolf2098 it has a jet engine, trumps any V8 or V12. Does not matter it does not drive the wheels.
@@RCmaniac667 Nope
Made me laugh when they said the most complicated part for them was the door design 😂 They never had to design that part before 😂
Ariel literally just invented the batmobile
@@crazysilly2914 not literally
@@SimoBenziane yes literally
@@crazysilly2914 you literally don't know what literally means.
@@limericklad2000 Yes I literally do, there was literally a shot in the video with literally batman driving in it...
The crazy thing with Ariel is that it all started at a university as a student project
One of the senior lecturers was so impressed they pushed the idea forward and it was shown in the NEC in Birmingham
Well the rest is history
Love the engineering behind this such an amazing car
Ariel literally just invented the batmobile
You mean the Atom was designed by a university student. Ariel the company has been around for a very long time. They started first making motorbikes.
Great info, did not know that. Thanks.
Man the silhouette of this thing looks like an electric RX8 with a crazy bodykit.
Reminds me of a first gen Hyundai Tiburon lol
or an atom with layers of body work
@@scottrobson4097 more like turbo upgraded Hyundai Accent.
From the front it looks kinda mk4 and mk5 supra-ish, from the side it looks kinda rx7/rx8ish - both in ways that neither manufacturer managed to pull off on their own newest generation vehicles. From the side it really looks like they took an RX7 (with an Elise rear) and just went "No. it should stop at the back of the rear tires. Nothing else." The brits have perfected japanese cyberpunk styling.
Agreed! I was thinking RX-8 with eBay special aftermarket parts. It has terrible height stance.
I love the companies like Aeriel exist. What a magnificent work of engineering!
Just think if they turned their efforts towards a personal E-VTOL
@@mpetersen6 nah, this is cooler.
"we" already now how to do extremly powerfull car by the engine but the problem is about the wheels
ariel, SLC and keonigsegg ... dream machines
Ariel literally just invented the batmobile
Letting one drive a vehicle for a review at such an early stage in development really speaks for the company. Usually videos are of cars that are mostly complete. I personally like seeing the development and progress that a company takes in building their newest creation! Looks great so far and very unique and out of the box!
agree, and incredible engineering and testing together
First time I've ever heard a jet engine described as a "range extender"! 😆
Looks absolutely mad...I love it!
Isn't it just that in a jet? Otherwise it'd be a glider.
@@Scottydelsumo Nope. Jets don't have other forms of propulsion built into them.
@@Scottydelsumo An aircraft uses the thrust the jet engine creates to push the aircraft forward, the jet engine being used as an APU doesn't move the car at all, it is only being used as a giant alternator, the electric motors are what pushing the car forward. Quite a different application.
I think what Phantom Echelon is referring to is the notoriously high fuel consumption of a fighter jet.
@@ivanjulian2532 That too, for sure. Jet engines are great for speed...not so much for fuel economy...
Ariel built a bonkers Batmobile. I've always been infatuated with the Atom; now I'm love with the company. Their founder's awesome.
That is what I thought too - a small Batmobile
it looks really similar to the mcmurtry speirling
Yep, pretty much, a mini Batmobile.
Someone made a turbine Batmobile
Next up should be a Nolan Batmobile or Snyder Batmobile with the V8 replaced by a helicopter turbine. The helicopter turbine can generate enough power on their own to power the electric motors when you want sustained speed, then when you want to be "stealthy" you switch to battery power.
@Arm all police what do you mean
That was my first thought when I saw the video thumbnail...its a Batmobile!
One of the things I'm most proud of both being from Somerset and being a car guy is the fact that Ariel are based there. What a mad vehicle built buy a bunch of mad lads in a shed. Awesome stuff!
Just how I feel living in Woking mate… 🥇
that Thatchers Cider is damn good too
Mad Lads indeed! Cheers
@@848evo4 there are much better Somerset ciders than Thatchers. Mass produced concentrated piss.
@@benclarkson4205 except McLaren haven't produced anything even halfway cool since the P1, and now they're well on the way to bankruptcy.
Looks like an engineer's PHD final thesis!
This was actually how the Atom became a thing
@@realAlexChoi Do you mean this was in development before the Ariel atom?
@@christopherpollard7244 No, I meant that the Ariel Atom started out as an engineering students thesis
@@realAlexChoi Makes me happy to hear this. Thanks!
Boy do I have some good news for you...
Great to see this company pushing the limits. Another excellent package in the works and I can't wait for it to go into production.
Can't wait for the Ariel Hipercar vs McMurtry Spierling comparison test!
Spierling definitely faster - but I don't think it's really a road car is it? This might be a sort of Spierling for the road...
Right! Having a tough time choosing my next daily, that would surely help
my first thought as well!
@@luke_3_113 It will be a road Spierling.
I doubt the McMurtry will be road legal without massive changes
The New Batmobile 😂
Won’t lie Spierling did it better 😂
Uglymobile
Way way better than the charger/muscle car in the Batman...
Catmobile
I said the exact same thing 😂, just a compact one
Some companies do a moderate engineering exercise in stages, and they usually follow the innovator in lockstep. Some companies decide to leap ahead of the competition by a decade or more. This is Tesla, Wright Brothers stuff. MAD RESPECT.👏👏👏
Hell yea. This looks like what I've been wanting to see.
A sensibly compact, low power generator (though hadn't considered turbine (until the other day oddly enough)) with a decent sized battery, that's not too big, but not pathetically small (though half the size would still be fine for some (who'll only track it for short periods), 4 independent motors and focused on reducing weight and drag.
Ariel do have a knack of over-delivering to a niche and making that niche far bigger than most people would expect. Top props as is becoming normal for them!
Just had a wonderful thought.
A [new] new Knight Rider series. This would be perfect as it'll already have a legit turbine power unit and therefore more authentic ... plus it looks like a KITT/KARR.
Fun fact, back in the 60s when they were developing the Rover P6 it was designed to use a turbine engine. It came very close to happening but sadly never did, it was so close in fact that the P6 was launched with the same wacky front suspension created to fit a turbine. I'm glad 60 years later companies like Ariel are still trying with jet technology
Jay Leno has a turbine car, its on his CZcams channel
My grandfather had a next door neighbor who had a turbine car from Chrysler in the early 1960s. Apparently Chrysler picked some "typical" American families to drive and use these turbine cars for a few months to see how they'd hold up to daily driving and weekend family abuse. Now I don't know anymore details about what happened (I'd have to ask him what became of the program and what his neighbor thought of the car), but I thought it was pretty cool they were building turbine cars that long ago and people actually got to drive them. There's even a wiki page I believe that goes into more detail about the program and specs on the car.
@@Peanutdenver I think Jay Leno has the same or similar car you speak off. If i remember right they were all prototypes and were supposed to be scrapped when they stopped the program. It was basically the US version of the Rover P6 but it survives to tell the story
@@mrcaboosevg6089 After I read your comment I did a bit of googling and I believe you nailed it. I also remember my grandfather saying it was pretty quiet considering and there was no transmission tunnel in the car. I'll see him soon and get some more details as this comment stream has peaked my interest with the car all over again.
Don't forget the Y2K motorcycle
I couldn't help but first think of the Fisker Karma watching this. Having the highly efficient power delivery of electric motors paired with the highly efficient power generation of a turbine engine makes this IMO an engineering masterpiece. Well done Ariel!
kinda defeats the purpose of an EV if it uses petrol. But phuck EV’s and the liberal politicians that are forcing them on us
To be honest this seems like a great advance in tech. Very efficient, using a jet to charge the battery then using the battery to drive the wheels is a great idea.
Bit like a diesel electric locomotive
What a piece of engineering. Superb.
Most exciting EV in years, and not just because it's blisteringly quick! Really interesting thought to use a gas turbine as a range extender with the potential to use hydrogen as a fuel. It will be interesting to see if that idea gains traction (pun intended) elsewhere in the motor industry.
I've been blathering on about a similar thing for years, but I was thinking a tiny (like 500cc) 3 cylinder turbo diesel optimised to only run at a specific rpm (eg 3000) to best charge the batteries. Should be very efficient and not super heavy.
@mmpj twod If they ever manage to get this thing road legal, I will personally, make a shrine for them.
The Hyundai N Vision 74 might interest you. I'm quite enamored by the looks but a hydrogen fuel cell along with a dual motor electric drive-train is quite interesting. I would love to see more work into hydrogen as a fuel even though we need to find cheaper ways to manufacture it for wide-spread adoption.
@@aaronb9630 I think that long-term hydrogen will be the fuel of choice due to its energy-density. We're a long way away from making it sustainable at the moment though. ☹️
Ariel literally just invented the batmobile
Love listening to passionate and knowledgeable owners of these “smaller” car companies like Ariel, Pagani, Koenigsegg and Gordon Murray etc
Apart from the Ariel they all cost millions.
Loving all the aviation references. The rock concert throttle quadrant was a nice touch
Dont you just love a company with the insight and passion to deliver what every driver dreams off, First the 300, then the 500 and now the hiper car. Hats off indeed.
Turbine/EV hybrid has always been a thing that appealed to me, they seem to complement each other well, the turbine has a great power to weight ratio and is fuel versatile but has laggy throttle response, meanwhile batteries have instant throttle response but bad power to weight.
And in such a car the lacking fuel efficiency of jet engines is negligible. Might even still be better then our standard piston engine doing the full propulsion work… just love that concept…
imagine breaking down in a jet turbine car
Indeed, you can run a jet on almost any explosive liquid so making it carbon neutral wouldn't be very difficult.
@@mrcaboosevg6089 Plus it would probably also still work in a mad max scenario xD
A turbine generator is smaller, lighter, far more reliable, and gives less vibrations than a piston generator. Also, it burns the fuel more completely, so the exhaust is much cleaner too (no need for exhaust aftertreatments). Only big disadvantage is the lower fuel efficiency (but not by much and since it is lighter you can carry more fuel to compensate.). Also, turbines are more expensive to buy (only because of small production runs. They are actually quite simple mechanically), but they are much cheaper to run.
Love how they gave it a homemade feel by making it look home made.
@alida flus jaguar, Cadillac and a few others have had concepts with this setup. The problem for then and now is turbines tend to be incredibly hard to maintain. I am curious to see how they have solved that issue perhaps regular expensive maintenance intervals. By expensive I mean a full turbine replacement every 10 to 15k miles.
A super car owner could mistake it for a kit car and try and leave it in its wake.
@@spendor9377 Yeah, that's the point. It doesn't look like it was made by a company.
Ariel literally just invented the batmobile
if you're making cars that go 0-60 in 2 seconds at home why aren't you selling them?
WOW! This is actually really well engineered!
I started the video thinking it's just like any other company. Just strap four electric motors to a small battery and away you go but this is very different. Very impressive to see how far they can push technology.
Fascinating to see such a fast spectrum of cars being made. On one end you have an Ariel EV with a jet turbine, on the other - Pagani Utopia with a V12. What a time.
we all know which one you'd rather have if money was no object. Aside from the cringe name, the utopia is amazing.
No touch screen? Perfect, I’m sold! 😊
Ariel has always made the best track day cars, can't wait to try this one out!
I like how this car is being developed i love how ariel Just experiments with all this ev tech and the jet range extender is brilliant the wing flaps to disturb the air towards the mirrors is ingenieus. There aren't a lot of car manufacturer's that expiriment like this
@@The.Toaster might be the piri that put's people off
9:40 the NEST thermostat is brilliant! That should be in production - one of the simplest interfaces for HVAC!
I love listening to this guy. It's rare someone techy is so engaging!
Damn was really hoping for an off the wall TT engine but I’m glad it’s still unique with that turbine.
This is the perfect hybrid vehicle. The usage of the turbine for electric generator is genius.
The turbine so you don't have to rely on the charging network but still need petrol... ermmm
THAT`S RELYING ON THE PETROL NETWORK... hydrogen fuel tank oooh at 30-000psi near a jet turbine engine
"" KAAAAA BOOOOOOM ""...
I am so glad to be witnessinga new golden age in automotive design. It feels like we are in the 1930s when amazing hand built cars were not copying others but coming up with unique new design concepts. Well done Ariel I have always loved your company but this is next level!
And a lot of ugly clunkers too.
@@TroyConvers5000 true
The car looks so dope. I love that they are trying something different from everybody else with turbine range extender
I'm very hyped for this one! Impressive set of engineers and designers, all pushed beyond their limit! Brilliant!
It's a technically amazing bit of kit, but in the looks department it's well... Unique I think is the nicest way to say it
Its just hideous looking
Agree. I respect the engineering and focus on performance. But I think they went too far with function over form, which is likely to turn perspective buyers off. It's going to have to perform nothing short of amazingly having made these sacrifices.
I agreed at first but the more I look at it it's actually really not that bad, it isn't ugly it's just different... definitely not ugly tho
Gpu+starwars jet
Reckon you wouldn’t care what it looks like when your behind the wheel doing 0-100 in 4 seconds 😂😂😂
This is the innovation we need
It is if it results in attainable sports cars for tomorrow, but it won't
Amazing! Can’t wait to see how this fairs up with the competition
Wild car!!! It would be cool if more companies would style their car's unique like this. 💪
The engineering in this is absolutely unreal 🤯🤯
Love it!
A nomad, an original Atom and now this is on my fantasy car garage!
I love the Nomad but it's so loud. I'd want to use it in the countryside, sneak around and not disturb too much.
As I'd not log many hours a day in it, an electrified Nomad makes all kinds of sense to me. AWD. 4x100 kW for instance. Rock crawling buggy that also does tank turns and MAD accelerations. 30-50 kWh battery would be plenty, it's not a travel car or something I need to lap on the track for an hour straight. I'd beed new goggles and boxers every 5 minutes anyway.
0:32 that last note made me close my eyes and dream 😂😂😂
GJ Ariel! beautiful car guys. keep up the good work. There's a lot of potential in that setup I feel. Light engine turbine to charge. Never thought about that, but would be cool like a batmobile. extra thrust, and way lighter than a engine block with pistons and such. Way higher RPM's. maybe even attach a few extra altenators on a pulley system to assist in the power generation aspect. can imagine the brushes getting worn off almost immediately at 120k rpms. oO
These guys are always different in a good way, so looking forward to this
It looks like a refined hammerhead eagle I-thrust.
"Plush LeMans" is the coolest sounding interior design I've ever heard.
I think we all want to see The Stig take it round the test track.
I was very hard on the design of this car but hearing from the top dog and getting a better understanding of the engineering, I look forward to seeing what this care can do when it's complete. I would still like to see a less busy design but as a purpose built race vehicle, looks are the tiniest of concerns. Well done Top Gear for reviewing it properly.
Nobody asked or gives a fuck about what you think of the design
I heard he was up all night for weeks when he heard Patrick D Garez was very hard on the design. I hope this comment brings him some closure.
It is a bit fussy but at least it's better looking than the McMurtry Spéirling, which looks like a stealth spaz chariot.
@@DemonCore618 Well, didn't you just make me feel the fool. I won't be able to sleep either. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways, Zami. You are a true superhero.
Patrick D Garez sure was hard on the design of this car
This has to be why I love Ariel
They just have to be different! Its so great
Grade A... top notch interview.... thanks guys
I think the exhaust from the turbine could be used to help with aero. These cars are limited by down force, you can only accelerate so quickly before you dont have traction. I wonder if some how the exhaust from the turbine could be directed to provide some type of extra down force. It only needs to provide it for a short period of time between when the car gets going and when the wings get enough air to force the car down.
I wouldn't count for that. Turbine blades will consume most of the power from combustion gases. What's left may have negliable effect. Also it most likely doesn't have any specific nozzle to create more thrust.
Interviewer won’t stop interrupting.
Amazing guest MR Ariel is fascinating!
Big fan of Ariel cars. This one reminds me of the Capstone CMT-380 displayed at the LA Autoshow in 2009. It was electric and featured a 30kW microturbine range extender. Glad to see Ariel bringing this idea into production.
Doesn’t having a gas-powered range extender defeat the purpose of an EV?
This looks and sounds amazin. Awesome 👍🏼
Always wanted an Atom...and still Do! This is amazing engineering!
Wow this is amazing! Love Ariel so much. The atom was a ground breaking vehicle, and the V8 is truly ballistic. I think this Hipercar looks insane and absolutely love the engineering. Massive respect Ariel!
@alida flus And rolls are going to be rolling their new v16 out some point soon.
Pure function, insane, stunning. Turbine is multi fuel brilliant. One of the few lottery cars in the garage.
I was very skeptical, but I am totally impressed. This is breakthrough tech, putting efficiency as the main target but getting amazing performance as a side effect.
I find it remarkable that a small country like UK has so many small car manufacturers putting out some amazing vehicles..and doing this consistently for a long time
Lol how is the uk a small country? It basicly invented the modern world and saved it from inhalation.😂😂😂😂
@@noke258 in.comparison to india
It looks very unique! This car looks very unlike other hypercars! Great job on this video! And what an amazing innovative car they've put together!
So, these mad scientists at Ariel made an electric-ish Batmobile, with an actual jet turbine in it. I think this is spot on, kind a like it 👍🏼
Long time Ariel fan. The use of an APU type power with 4-wheel electrics is something I've liked for a long time. As for the vertical wings, they are simply hideous. The rest of the car very cool. Keep up the good work.
I’ve always been confused by intrigued by their cars, I also remember the Ariel Atom as being the car that couldn’t make a turn without sliding out of control in Driveclub lol
Function over Form! And that’s why Ariel manages to do this awesome piece of engineering 👊
This is so impressive, since I saw the Atom years ago, I realized they were master engineers.
Your first comma should have been a full stop. You only use two commas if the first and third part work without the middle, which it doesn't here.
Who cares…
@@sh-hg4eg ok
@@sh-hg4egvery informative thanks
Thank you sir for talking us through your car
Ariel always makes amazing performance machines
This is absolutely genius! Sometimes, solutions are right under our noses and yet it takes extraordinary geniuses to find them who are often overlooked. So many huge names like Mercedes, Koenigsegg, Audi never thought of putting a jet engine to supplement instead of huge and heavy battery. Its so ingenious! Mad respect.
koenisegg in the same sentence as merc as a giant,, im sure christian's chest is swelling with pride, and the real giants of the automotive world are wondering who even ariel is
They've definitely thought about jet engine range extenders. The difference is that Mercedes and Audi have to design cars which appeal to enough people that they can sell hundreds of thousands of them. Your local soccer mom or business shark isn't going to buy a car with a jet engine in it. Ariel has to sell maybe 30 of these a year, so it's easier to find enough buyers and you can do more radical designs.
Jag had a Turbine REX EV concept over a decade ago
@@ShaunYoung Jaguar has been ahead of the curve for about a century now.
@@ShaunYoung REX EV not gonna match this car.
i cant wait to see the finished production version, it is easily the most insane EV ever made and i love that it has a jet turbine on the back lmao
McMurtry Speirling: Hold my fans.
Cool car, would love see them do an everyday driver like this.
I always thought about using a turboshaft engine with a clutched cvt but this makes sense too
Turbine that powers a propellor is called a turbprop, turbine that powers anything else is called a turboshaft
Bro whoever came up with that finalized design deserves a raise. It looks like a Batmobile with the size of a Miata lmao

love to drive one. Aesthetically, it almost reminds of a hardtop BMW z4 with a batmobile style body kit. Bravo.
I have always been a fan of this company, great show!
I loved the Ariel Nomad, and the insanity that is the Atom V8 but, HOLY SMOKES! A jet turbine on an electric car?! Freakin' doors on an Ariel?! And this it's just the prototype?! I really love this company!
Ariel has always created my favorite vehicle designs. So out there.
I love the looks of it, can’t mistake it for anything else!
I wish them every success with making this work, they are not your every day company and it shows. You can’t say it’s just another car like Ferrari or Porsche, it’s unique and got so much going for it.

It’s a jet APU in a car.
Marvelous.
Hopefully the hypercar manufacturers are taking notice. Simply incredible. Masterful. Forward thinking 🧢💯
Was that a Nest home ac thermostat for the air control?
Reading up on the Cosworth Cat Gen range extender it sounds totally brilliant. It is about 50kg, that is tiny! It does not require a separate catalytic converter... The tech is actually super simple, a handful of moving parts, and very few exotic materials.. Cosworth says they hope to get the cost of the Cat Gen down to 2000 pounds.
Respect for trying something a bit different. This thing is awesome! Keep it up!!!
Can't stop loving this company...
The proportions and shape give me real McMurtry Spierling vibes, super cool when companies do things for performance and packaging rather than looks.
This car needs its own race series.
This is the exciting side of EV's! What Ariel and McMurty are achieving with their engineering is absolutely mind boggling.
McMurty definitely achieved something very special with their name - sounding like a drunk Irishman
You just can't not love Ariel 🔥🔥🔥
I literally had this idea of putting some kind of turbine on an electric car to keep the battery charged 2 years ago and was wondering why no EV company has thought of this (obviously because they want you paying at charging stations). Very cool Ariel.
CEO of car companies are not thinking: Lets make less profit to make sure it runs on X. (gas/diesel/electric/hydrogen/propane/methane or any other energy source.)
Profit is what matters to any company. What can we make cheap enough, and what can we market.
Turbine generator is allot in R&D and expensive to manufacture, and probably hard to make quiet enough for a regular car. Once someone else has done the work and proven that it can be made to be profitable they will all jump on board. its just business.
It's not the car companies that will make money from charging. That's just a stupid comment.
That bit about the touchscreens is so true , if something can be operated by a button or switch it should be imo, I think anyone who has to keep tapping a screen to turn the radio down would agree
And here I was thinking Koenigsegg would be the first to throw a turbine into a production car
Or pagani tbh lol
Well Volvo was first of the Swedes in that case with the Volvo ECC 😁
@@danielssonsgarage actually i believe it was chrysler in the early 60s unless the volvo you speak of was older.
