Behold the Arield Nomad, the Atom's off road cousin as presented by Autocar:
It doesn't have the manic compact V8, nor the Civic Type-R engine but instead it has a bigger 2.4 liter Honda engine that is good for around 200 bhp and more torque.
Ready to run weight is around 700 kg (1543 lbs).

Holy cunt this is amazing. I've never been a huge fan of the track-day cars, but this... YES.

Not when they're being roosted into your face by your buddy

I concede. I saw it more as a dune buggy fun thing. If it's a legit rally machine, I understand needing a windscreen.

My perspective is that even if it's just a fun buggy thing, most people like to go wheeling with their friends. At some point that friend is going to splash or roost you. Also, as I learned one time when I decided to drive the desert truck around after a storm, when you hit a puddle in a vehicle with no hood and no windshield you're going to get a face/lap full of mud.

Looks like it has wipers so that's a winner. Still kind of like the Rally Fighter more, but this looks badass.
