Sorry, I forgot this is serious business.Let's be serious.
Or a little levity from time to time wouldn't hurt. The GT-R may not (and definitely wasn't) have been the first car you could drive with a game controller, but it was the first one I've ever driven from the passenger seat of an entirely different car. I even backed it into a "garage" (made of cones) first time, to great surprise from the guys there.
It's definitely a car you could, at the time, have driven with a pad. Also I like bringing it up from time to time, just to remind people of the cool **** we've been up to over the years.
Anyway, back to the seriousness, I guess.
Incidentally, there were ~100m cars sold in 2025. 49 of them were Ariels (Atoms and Nomads; can't say how many of each but I have been told the approximate proportions of the build slots).
By the argument that anything that can be expressed as an integer per million is statistically none, that means the Ariel Atom - at no better than one in two million (or ~0.00005% of the new car parc) - doesn't exist. Which is odd as I've also sat in three of them.
Okay, now back to the seriousness, I guess.
