The N1A Takes on Top Gear (and the Atom 4RR)
For over 20 years, the Top Gear test track has offered one of the most comprehensive benchmarks for comparing new cars by lap time, so when the invitation came, it was an easy yes. The result: a 1:16.1 lap from the Stig, quicker than a Veyron Super Sport and a lap record for a manual gearbox car. Not bad at all, especially considering the ride quality and comfort were described as “better than an S-Class.”
The Stig Lends a Hand
A real privilege to have former Stig Ben Collins share his thoughts on the car. Hearing feedback like, “it strikes an unusual balance, smooth and effortless on the road, yet an absolute animal on the track,” was incredibly rewarding, especially given the depth of development behind achieving exactly that balance.

Peter Windsor in the First Prototype
The former Williams Team Manager, was the first to feature N1A project on video. Subsequently he introduced a F3 protégé, Bart Horsten, to Nichols Cars, with Bart getting behind the wheel of the N1A prototype and discussing the racing scene, past and present, with his hero, Steve Nichols.
Petrol Ped was invited to talk with Steve and John to get an insight into the design inspiration behind the Nichols N1A.
