Welcome to our "Docu-Review" on the American made Ariel Atom 3S. We tour and interview TMI Autotech, the sole USA manufacturer for Ariel products. Most agree the Atom is more intense than modern supercars produced by Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren. It's one of those few cars that if you are not prepared for speed you best bring a change of underwear. However, there is more to the story here. We look at the people behind the car and how small automotive business is not dead in America. Many who want to see products designed and made in the USA will appreciate this look at the new Atom 3S and upcoming Nomad.
