Ariel - Nomad (2016)
Ariel Nomad 2016 price and the overall Ariel Nomad price can be a tough bargain hunter’s puzzle. The Ariel Nomad is a lightweight, chassis‑first track‑day machine that feels like a miniature Formula 1 car, yet it’s built for road‑usable fun. When you first hear about the 2016 model, the immediate question is: what is a 2016 Ariel Nomad worth? Below you’ll find a full, fact‑packed guide that answers that and more, while keeping the Ariel Nomad price and used Ariel Nomad price within realistic, market‑based ranges.
Key Specifications (all values are typical for the 2016 model and may vary slightly by region or trim)
- Engine: 3.0‑liter, 4‑cyl. twin‑turbo, twin‑spark – 370 hp, 518 lb‑ft torque
- Transmission: 6‑speed sequential, Porsche‑styled manual, paddle‑shiftable
- Drive Layout: Rear‑wheel drive
- Fuel Type: Premium gasoline (94 Octane) with direct injection
- Dimensions: Length 1,852 mm (73 in), Width 1,198 mm (47 in), Height 1,255 mm (49 in)
- Wheelbase: 1,486 mm (58 in)
- Weight: 860 kg (1,897 lb) – all‑aluminum chassis, carbon fiber body panels, and a lightweight interior
- Top Speed: 265 km/h (165 mph) as quoted by Ariel
- 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph): 3.0 seconds in optimal conditions
- Suspension: Independent double wishbone on all four corners, coil‑over adjustable with magnetic ride control
- Brakes: Brembo radial six‑piston front, four‑piston rear with 380 mm diamond‑cut rotors
These features place the Ariel Nomad firmly in the ultra‑low‑weight, high‑performance segment that appeals to driving purists seeking a race‑day feel and everyday usability in one chassis.
Depreciation Insight
When evaluating the Ariel Nomad depreciation curve, you’ll see a typical pattern for niche sports cars: • In the first year, the vehicle falls 15‑20 % off its purchase price—mostly due to the powerful engines and the highly specialized market. • By year two, the cumulative loss is around 24‑28 %. • Around three years, you can expect to see solid depreciation plateau at roughly 32‑36 % from original asking price. • After five years, the rate slows, so a well‑maintained 2016 Nomad may still fetch roughly 55‑60 % of its original price in a reliable condition market.
Because the used Ariel Nomad price is largely driven by a car’s life‑cycle stage, a test‑driven or previously purchased car that has been kept under 10,000 km on the track and has had rough‑driving episodes can command a premium over the standard depreciation trajectory. Owners who keep meticulous maintenance records also typically see their used prices outpace the market medians by 5‑10 %.
Comparison Context
Compared to similar models such as the Ariel Atom (2009‑2015) and the newer Ariel SR, the 2016 Nomad blends a greater horsepower figure with a heavier chassis and increased ride stiffness. While the Atom is lighter at ~650 kg, it offers only 260 hp
