Because cars aren't fast enough for the engineers at Ariel Atom, they'll be moving into the realm of superbike production in 2012.

Their first creation will be a bespoke two-wheeled superbike inspired by their four-wheeled Ariel Atom sportscar. Estimated pricing will be in the £20,000 range. Honda, who already supplies engines for the Atom, are rumoured to be providing the engine for the superbike as well – though which one it will be is still unknown.

Ariel hope to produce between 100 and 200 bikes per year. Each bike would be hand-built making the models unique and that much more incredible. If you thought the Ariel Atom was fast, wait.

We're expecting Clarkson's face to completely disintegrate on this one.
