Default GT3RS not " RADICAL " enough?

Then get the Radical RXC,now street legal in the US.
No affiliation.


" If you’ve always wanted to own a racecar for the road, then the Radical RXC represents the ultimate incarnation. Previously it wasn’t certified for the US, but the British manufacturer has just revealed that the RXC and RXC Turbo passed “the required tests for road registration in California.” Working closely with RXC owner Jeffrey Cheng, who can be seen in the video driving his tangerine model to a Cars and Coffee meet, the low-volume sports car is now road-worthy.
Orders for the new RXC are now being taken, but registrations will initially be undertaken on a case-by-case basis as Radical works towards getting type-approval across the country.
A US-delivered RXC starts from $171,280 with options quickly bumping that up to beyond the $200k mark. A 25 percent down payment is also required upon placing an order.
For that you get a mini racecar packing a 460-hp 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 good for a 2.6-second 0-60 mph time and a 185 mph top speed. "

Carbuzz.

That thing better have a front and rear lift system to get up and down driveways and speedbumps.

HA, that parking lot entry was almost flat and he had to slow down not to scrape.


Bet that thing wouldn't make it 10 miles in 1 piece in Georgia.


sure looks fast though!! Track? YES PLEASE!

holy crap, that's expensive. for a car with such minimal road usability, I'd just buy a single seater.

Didn't know Jeff is the owner of RXC.

Seen that car in person. It looks insane, the interior is extremely nice and well put together for a race car.

Uses a Ford engine and Quaife gearbox - shouldn't be that challenging. Turbo version sounds seriously fast.

But all they did was styled a closed cockpit onto a car that was originally designed to be an open cockpit. I'd be stoked with one no matter what it looks like as the only view anyone would ever see it is through the tail lights while on track

I like the look. It does look radical for sure. But how do you get around town? No real use for road use except to coffee n cars but u will scrape everywhere. It does need some air lift system. Pita to get it on trailer too.
