Avon and Somerset police are using a 350bhp Ariel Atom as part of a campaign to encourage motorcyclists to curb their speed. Based on the latest Atom 3.5R, the car is fitted with police livery, the latest aerodynamic Hella pursuit lights and emergency equipment. The car can go from 0-62mph in just 2.5 seconds and a variant of the model holds the lap record at the Top Gear test track. That makes it faster than the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia used by Italian cops, the Audi R8 GTR driven by officers in Germany, and a Ferrari FF used in Dubai
