Remember the Arial Atom is a transverse mid engine car. The engine is between the front and rear axles. Not exactly as mid as a Cayman, but far closer to it than the rear-mounted, inline 911. If it isn't a mid engine then neither was the original NSX.

Arial Atoms:

Transverse I4

Transverse V8 Atom




NSX




911




Cayman

honda has a few bucks more than ariel does to engineer things as well id imagine. when its all said and done, im just going to side with first and second hand experience by trusted voices over numbers on a spec sheet. to each their own.
