What makes the Ariel Atom so special?

Why manufacture the Ariel Atom and Nomad iN Australia?
Licensed and Supported by the UK Parent Company
Lightspeed Motor Company holds the exclusive licence to manufacture Ariel Motor Company’s renowned road legal Atom and Nomad vehicles in Australia, with full support from the UK parent company. This partnership ensures that every vehicle produced locally adheres to Ariel’s meticulous engineering standards, delivering the same world-class performance, craftsmanship and exhilarating driving experience enthusiasts expect from the brand. With direct access to Ariel’s specifications, tooling and quality control systems, customers can trust that an Atom or Nomad built in Australia is every bit an Ariel - just closer to home!
Existing Australian Orders & Strong P&L Numbers
Demand for the Ariel Atom in Australia is not hypothetical - it’s already here. Over 4,000 expressions of interest when it was promoted in late 2023 and dozens of confirmed orders with deposits taken. These early adopters have been waiting for their dream car to arrive from the UK but long wait times have created the perfect moment for local manufacturing. By producing the Atom and Nomad domestically, Lightspeed will eliminate lengthy delays, reduce costs, deliver a strong return to investors and deliver these iconic machines into the hands of passionate Australian drivers faster and more affordably than ever before.
Asia Pacific Wide Agreement for Sales
This isn’t just an Australian venture - it’s a regional opportunity. Lightspeed Motor Company has secured the rights to sell the Ariel Atom and Nomad across Asia Pacific, positioning Melbourne, Victoria as a strategic manufacturing and export hub. This agreement unlocks a powerful expansion pathway and local production means competitive pricing, shorter lead times with local compliance - all essential for delivering high-performance vehicles to a broader, growing market of driving purists.
An Experienced Team
Behind Lightspeed Motor Company is a powerhouse team of engineers, designers and automotive entrepreneurs with decades of experience in high-performance vehicles and advanced manufacturing. Co-founders Jonathan Krogdahl and Alex Knott bring a rare blend of commercial acumen and engineering excellence, supported by renowned specialists. With a track record in both motorsport and high precision manufacturing, the Lightspeed team is not just capable - they’re driven by passion, precision and performance.
