We were the first manufacturer to bring long-format, double-header endurance competition to the club racing scene, whilst providing a comprehensive spares and technical support team at every event, which continues to this day.
The iconic Clubsport model established the company in 1997 and it is still raced with enthusiasm around the world. Its success was immediate and full grids soon led to the Prosport, adding wings, more power and wider slicks, but we, the Radical team, were never going to rest on our ever-growing laurels.
In 2002 we launched the original SR3, a genuine two-seater, road-legal track car, that wowed both the media and track drivers all over the world. The compact SR4, successor to the original Clubsport, soon followed.
The awe-inspiring SR8, launched in 2005 and powered by the high-revving, in-house developed RPE V8 engine, brought Le Mans Prototype pace to the amateur racer. The SR8 went on to claim numerous outright lap records, including the highly sought prize of the production car record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The latest-generation 2.7-litre engine sets lap times comparable to LMP machinery, and continues to draw acclaim from established endurance racers the world over.
In 2011 Radical took the bold step of developing its first fully EC Type Approved, street-legal roadster the SR3 SL, followed in 2013 by Radical’s first closed-cockpit sportscar, the RXC and its open-top sister the RXC Spyder. RADICAL TIMELINE PARTNERS
