Meet the 500bhp Rezvani ‘Beast’

The kerbweight sits just shy of 750kg (up from the Atom’s 456kg), with 0-60mph quoted at 2.7 seconds. Top speed? 165mph.

The standard Ariel Atom, with its 2.0-litre Honda VTEC engine on board, 245bhp and lower weight, will go from 0-62mph in… 2.7 seconds. And top out at 140mph.

There are no driver aids, CEO Ferris Rezvani stating: “By limiting as much electronic interference as we could, we were able to allow the driver to feel every inch of the road at their fingertips.” You have been duly warned.

There are lightweight aluminium forged alloys. There are carbon fibre seats, a carbon fibre steering wheel and Apple’s CarPlay on board too.

The price? $165,000 (just over £100,000), and you’ll have to wait between two and three months for it to be built. This, or a good ol’ British Atom?
