Ariel
Nomad Supercharger
The
Ariel range is continuing to expand with the British marque announcing a brand
new supercharged variant of its potent Nomad off-roader.
Typically,
the Ariel Nomad utilises a 2.4-litre Honda-sourced four-cylinder turbocharged
engine which is enough to rocket to Nomad to 100 km/h in well under four
seconds. For Nomad customers looking for even more speed and power, a
belt-driver supercharger has been developed as an alternative to the turbo. It
brings power up to 290 hp and 251 lb-ft of torque, representing 55 hp and 30
lb-ft increases over the turbo’d model. That additional power will see the
all-terrain Ariel reach 96 km/h in 3.4 seconds and 160 km/h in 7.4 seconds.
The
supercharged Nomad costs about 6000 pounds more than the turbocharged variant
but importantly, customers who’ve already taken delivery of turbo’d models can
have their cars retrofitted with the supercharger.
