Ariel specifies Zircotec’s coloured ceramic coating
The first OEM application of Zircotec's Performance ColoursM ceramic exhaust coating, which offers both a highly aesthetic and effective thermal barrier.

Ariel's new Atom V8 supercar is the first OEM application of Zircotec's Performance ColoursM ceramic exhaust coating, which offers both a highly aesthetic and effective thermal barrier. Specified by Ariel to ensure the exposed and visible exhaust system maintains its beauty, the plasma-sprayed coating also prevents heat transfer generated by the 500bhp, three litre V8 engine. Unlike many 'high temperature' paint finishes, Zircotec's coatings offer a long-lasting and zero maintenance solution that has been tested to OEM lifetime standards.
