No price was given, but it's safe to say that it will be high, and even if you can afford one, they may be sold out already. ![]() The disappointing part about the Nomad R is that there won't be many of them.

According to Ariel, it's the latest version of the transaxle used in the V8 Ariel Atom and the 3.5R variant and comes with straight-cut gears and a limited-slip differential. Sending power to the rear wheels is a six-speed sequential manual transmission. What better surroundings for the Nomad tha.
