If you, too, do not digest SUVs that are afraid of bad roads, here is an outlet for you. Buggy and sports car in one - Ariel Nomad. In an open cabin, you will certainly freeze, but you will not regret it at all. Why? Huge cross-country ability, reinforced frame and the wind of freedom in the face at a speed of over 200 km / h. Here are the main, but not all, reasons to prefer Ariel Nomad.
The buggy sports car is driven by a Honda 2.4L i-VTEC gasoline engine with a capacity of 235 hp. With. Torque is transmitted through a 6-speed manual transmission to rear-wheel drive. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 3,4 seconds. Top speed is limited to 201 km/h. Not so much for the track, but enough off-road, where the car feels great. Still, spring suspension and 300 mm of ground clearance, coupled with R15 off-road tires. Disc brakes, coupled with a low weight of the car (only 670 kg) give an almost instantaneous stop.
The author of the AutoTrader YouTube channel chose a track that had barely thawed out after the winter and arranged an extreme test drive for the Ariel Nomad buggy SUV. The sunset, the temperature near zero and the "oak" tires made the trip really hard. How well it turned out, you be the judge.
