Nice. I've been considering doing an EV conversion on my Ariel Atom like the Wrightspeed X1. The X1 was how I first heard about the Ariel Atom. I'm just concerned about ruining a perfectly good Atom, so I haven't gotten up the nerve to start planning it yet. The performance would need to be as good as it is with the current 250 hp supercharged engine before I'd start looking at doing it.

I wonder if it will be priced like the 2016 Toroidion 1MW Concept - specifications, photo, price, information, rating

I received a link to the following from Ariel North America, which I guess is what TMI is operating under now.
