Now as a mechanical engineer I am telling you a gearbox does not limit the engine revs. Got it?

Nothing to do with the gearbox at all. The engine is 2 Suzuki Hayabusa engines cylinder heads mated to a John Hartley block. Ariel specified a certain amount of power they wanted, and that's what they got at the best rev range.

That was the first thing I went and looked for. They don't seem to have any information at all about the Busa V8 powered models anymore. As I said in my original post months ago, info on that thing was hard to find even then.

I found lots of info on the Busa V8. There is lots of info on Atom with the Honda engine. But, I had a real hard time finding stuff on the Atom with the Hayabusa V8. If you have info, please send me a link.

A guy brought one of these to Southend-on-Sea when the bike show was on and took me for a ride in it. It almost makes you shit your pants. I've been in Aston Martins and TVR's but this car is just insane.

THE craziest, greatest and fastest track/road weapon ever made! Any model Atom is the purest of driving entertainment (and terror) and the closest thing to a road going F1 car or superbike on sale!

Ok, when you have more than 10% of the throttle on, it will automatically upshift at a desired rev count. Below this and for down shifts, you use the paddles with the clutch.

Back in the sixties Ariel built nice bikes too. Bolting two motors together was a trick triumph did in the seventies with the Stag. That Atom goes like poo off a welly.

Incorrect. You need to use the paddles on up and down shifts. If you are less than 10% throttle you need to use the clutch with up and down shifts.
