The car has a top speed 155mph, kerb weight under 850kgs, 0-62 mph in under 5 seconds, and a power-to-weight ratio lower than 4kg per bhp.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />The 33 TT 12 sported a 500-horsepower flat 12-cylinder engine displacing just 3.0 liters.

Lightweight materials such as carbon-fiber and aluminium are used extensively throughout. These solutions, used in conjunction with a powerful 200bhp four cylinder petrol engine coupled with the new automatic Alfa TCT twin dry clutch transmission allow a top speed of 250km/h, kerb weight under 850kgs, 0-100km/h in under five seconds, and a power-to-weight ratio lower than 4kg per bhp.<br /><br />While celebrating the future of Alfa Romeo at this year’s Festival of Speed, the marque will also be embracing its rich past, by showcasing five cars from the Alfa Romeo museum collection in Italy. These automotive legends include Fangio’s Alfa 6C 3000CM, which alongside the Alfetta 159, will celebrate the 60th anniversary of Fangio’s historic 1951 Formula One World Championship title, as well as the Alfa 6C 1750GS, Alfa 750 Competizione and the Alfa 33 TT 12. Spectators at the Festival will be able to see the cars in action over the three day event, and they will be on display in the Cathedral Paddock area.<br /><br />In the Supercar Paddock, you will find Alfa’s 8C Spider. Alfa Romeo will also be exhibiting at the Goodwood Moving Motor Show.</i></span><p>

Made in a Limited<br />Edition of just 10 cars for each of the 10 years, each signed and numbered, the Atom Mugen has a<br />special livery of red chassis, white bodywork and red graphics showing the number of the car to<br />reflect the unique union of Ariel, Mugen and Honda. Featuring a tuned Mugen Honda engine and a<br />high level specification, plus the opportunity to further option the car, this latest Atom gives further<br />choice to the driver looking for the ultimate, normally aspirated trackday car.<br /><br />Mugen (meaning unlimited in Japanese) engines have famously powered hundreds of race and<br />championship winners, including Formula 1, since 1973 when Hirotoshi Honda, son of Soichiro<br />Honda, founded the company. Basing their work almost exclusively around Honda powerplants,<br />Mugen was an obvious partner for Ariel who have used the Honda Type R engine in the Atom for<br />over 7 years. Working closely together on the project Ariel and Mugen found many similarities in<br />their approach to the project, resulting in a hand built engine in a truly handbuilt car.<br /><br /><b>Engine</b><br />Heart of the Atom Mugen is the Honda K20Z Type R engine, which is tuned by Mugen to produce<br />270bhp at 8600rpm in normally aspirated form. Each Atom Mugen engine is stripped, measured and<br />fully blueprinted at Mugen Europe's Northampton headquarters. The engines are reassembled with<br />high performance, higher compression pistons, high lift camshafts and new valve springs. A longer<br />freeflow inlet manifold is fitted with a bigger diameter throttle body together with race grade spark<br />plugs. The engine also features a full baffled sump and is finished with a carbon fibre Mugen cover.<br />After assembly each engine is tested on the Mugen dynamometer and carefully run in prior to full<br />power test. After 7 days of work on every engine they are bore scoped and inspected prior to sign<br />off. A lightened balanced flywheel is fitted together with a limited slip differential to the close ratio<br />Honda 6 speed gearbox prior to installation in the Atom.<br /><br /><b>Specification</b><br />Specification of the car includes many Ariel options as standard as well as additional parts unique to<br />the Atom Mugen. High performance Alcon 4 pot lightweight callipers, finished in red, and ventilated<br />discs are fitted front and rear. The 4 way adjustable damper/spring package is a modified version of<br />that found on the Atom V8 with remote reservoir lightweight aluminium dampers which have two<br />compression adjustments and one rebound adjustment with 2 piece dual rate springs fitted with rate<br />adjusters. This coupled with the standard adjustable Atom wishbones, gives the owner very high<br />adjustability for track or road. Each Atom can therefore be set up exactly for each owner and their<br />use with the ability to carry out further adjustment to suit particular driving preferences or styles.<br />Yokohama AO48 trackday tyres are standard specification, fitted to lightweight, white Ariel<br />magnesium wheels.<br /><br />In front of the driver is a new LCD flat screen display housed in a carbon fibre instrument panel. The<br />multi function display is programmable with the ability for the driver to scroll through displays via<br />menu buttons and also shows 3 colour gearshift lights and standard warning lights. A master alert<br />warns if any function goes outside programmed perameters for quick and easy reference on track.<br />Additional data information, such as lap times and logging, can be viewed through the display to bring<br />another element to the serious track day driver. 3" FIA full harnesses with crutch straps are fitted for<br />both driver and passenger as standard with options of further competition parts for racing.<br /><br /><b>Performance</b><br />Performance of the Atom Mugen gives 0-60mph (100kph) in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of<br />150mph, with torque increased to 255Nm @ 6,000 rpm.<br /><br />Every engine is built by one Mugen technician and every Atom is built by Ariel technician, with both<br />signing off the engine and car only when they are satisfied, reflected in a numbered build plate on<br />each car. The particular and special skills available in producing racing and low volume cars are<br />demonstrated in the Atom Mugen in a way that wouldn't be possible to large volume manufacturers.<br />Said Simon Saunders of Ariel, "The advantages of being small are obvious in this latest Atom. It's a<br />handbuilt car, tailored to suit individual customers who we know and like as friends and who are<br />passionate about their cars and driving. The ability for Mugen to handbuild a performance engine,<br />coupled with the legendary Honda reliability, takes this one stage further."<br /><br />The formula of Ariel + Honda + Mugen has resulted in a very special car that takes the trackday car<br />to another level.</i><br /></span><p></p>

To complement the wider tires the STARTECH designers developed new running boards with integrated entrance lights that are activated via the keyless fob or by opening one of the doors.<br /><br />The exterior appearance of the STARTECH Yachting Edition further includes such tasteful details as the SVX front grille and headlight covers painted in body color.<br /><br />Getting into the STARTECH Land Rover Defender 90 Yachting Edition, made easier by the STARTECH running boards, is a very special experience. The captain and his crew are welcomed by classic yacht design, which uses genuine oiled teak following the best ship-building traditions. This fine material lends the trunk and the foot wells a unique air.<br /><br />The company upholstery shop attended to the remaining interior of the Defender 90 and transformed it from a rather mundane cockpit into an exclusively appointed wellness space.<br /><br />The finest navy-blue leather with white contrasting seams refines door and side panels alike and adorns dashboard, center console and<br />the Recaro sport seats. The new seats offer much better lateral support than the stock seats. But that�s not all: Their leather upholstery is masterfully sewn using white baseball-style cross stitching and adds a modern contrast to the classic Land Rover interior. The shells of the seatbacks are painted white to match the exterior.<br /><br />The headliner is made from Alcantara dyed the same color as the leather appointments. Precision-sewn white seams add magnificent highlights here as well.<br />Among the numerous other loving STARTECH details are an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel, shifter, emergency brake and reduction gear lever all covered with navy-blue leather and a Yachting Edition plaque on the center console.<br /><br />Rounding out the STARTECH treatment is a high-end sound system calibrated to the Defender interior. The sound system also features an integrated touch screen navigation system.</i><br /></span><p>
