About the Ariel Nomad 2
The Ariel Nomad 2 is a comprehensive evolution of the original off-road icon, sharing only three parts with its predecessor. It features a new chassis with 40% greater torsional stiffness, larger diameter tubes, and revised suspension geometry for improved handling on and off-road. Power comes from a 2.3-litre Ford EcoBoost engine, replacing the old Honda unit, providing a massive increase in torque. The interior is updated with a new TFT instrument cluster and adjustable traction control, making it a more refined yet still visceral driving machine.
