The first sketches of the Ariel Nomad all-terrain vehicle surfaced in December, 2014. Ariel has now officially revealed the complete details on the buggy along with several images of the Nomad in action.

The Nomad uses a bronze welded ladder frame chassis and though it's based on the Atom, the vehicle has been tweaked to better tackle rough terrain. Features include a long travel double wishbone suspension setup at both ends, with alloy steel coil springs by Eibach & outboard dampers by Bilstein. The Nomad also gets chunky 15 inch 235/75 tyres with larger alloy wheels. The off-roader features added roll-over protection as well.

A digital LCD display shows the speedometer, tachometer, water temperature, fuel level, odometer and a trip meter. The instrumentation also has warning lights for the ignition, lights, handbrake, low brake fluid and low oil pressure.

Length x width x height x wheelbase dimensions come in at 3215 mm x 1850 mm x 1425 mm x 2348 mm and the Nomad tips the scales at just 670 kgs.

Power comes from a Honda sourced 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder engine that produces 235 bhp at 7,200 rpm & 300 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm. Transmission duties are carried out by a 6-speed manual gearbox. Ariel claim, the Nomad will do the 0-100 km/h run in 3.4 seconds before hitting a top speed of around 201 km/h.

The Ariel Nomad is priced at £27,500 ( approximately Rs 26.28 Lakh )

The first images of Ariel's all-terrain vehicle - the "Nomad" have been released. The Nomad will make its public debut at the Autosport International show in January, 2015. The vehicle will use the Atom's mechanical layout including the ladder frame chassis, but will be tweaked for tackling off road tracks. Changes include a raised ground clearance, gumball tyres, a long travel suspension & a roll over structure with a windscreen.

Power is said to come from a Honda-sourced, 2.4-litre, four-cylinder unit that could deliver over 200 bhp. Transmission duties will be carried out by a 6-speed manual with a limited slip differential coming as standard fitment. The Nomad should tip the scales at around 700 kgs. Prices will begin at around £30,000 ( INR 29.65 Lakh approx ). While bookings will be accepted from January, customers can expect their deliveries mid-way through 2015.
