Exploring, touring or drifting - the Nomad is ready for more.

The Nomad opens a whole new dimension of fun on four wheels.  People call it the Atom’s mucky brother, but the Nomad redefined what a performance on/off roader should be.  Where the Atom is to road and track, the Nomad is to road and off it.  Whether it’s a twisty road, a gravel track, a WRC rally stage, a green lane, a desert or just a grassy field the Nomad calls this home. The Nomad says tough wherever it goes. Because it is. 



This car turns any landscape into a personal playground.

Every Nomad is individually made by a single technician for each owner so we are able to tailor fit your exact needs and wishes.  From winches and spotlights to engine and gearbox upgrades plus different damper options, different wheels, different tyres, nudge bars, carriers… yes, it’s a long list but we want to make sure we get your Nomad exactly right for you.  What you want it to do, where you’re going to use it and how you want it to look.  But we’re here to help and we’ll take time drawing up a specification with you to make sure you get exactly the right Nomad for you.


THE NOMAD HAS OFF ROAD PACE TO RIVAL A BAJA RACER
— Car & Driver

Centre of the Nomad is, of course, its structure and our unique Ariel signature.  Bronze welded by craftsmen who have pride in their work, with skill that comes from years of experience. A masterpiece of craftsmanship, true, but also a complete safety cage. Protecting you and your co-pilot, doing its job, which is what an Ariel is all about. Outboard, long travel suspension, double unequal wishbones, tough body panels that you can bash – it’s the same stuff that traffic cones are made from – right behind you a Ford 2.3 Ecoboost engine making sure you can go anywhere, anytime, reliably. Everything for a reason, nothing extra.

You can see that the Nomad is an Ariel through and through. We put the same thought in design, the same engineering depth and the same attention to detail as we do with every Ariel vehicle.  It shows everywhere you look. It will put that same Ariel grin on your face every time you drive it, maybe just a bit dirtier.  As with everything Ariel lightness is the key – the Nomad treads lightly and nimbly, using agility to get to wherever you want to go.
