Radical

Radical has rolled out its latest and greatest car for the road and the track. The car is called the RXC Turbo 500R and it comes in road and race versions. The race versions of Radical cars ditch the roof and the windshield for an open cockpit.

I have been an instructor at track days for half a decade, and when fellow car folks find out, the first question that comes up is: “What’s the best track car?” I always tell them the Miata.

Not to be confused with the Ford Mustang RSX concept, Radical’s SR8 RSX is a real car you can pre-order now. The latest racing car from Radical, the SR8 RSX is powered by a 3.0-liter V8 engine which can output 446 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft.

NM2255 takes us inside the latest build of the Radical RXC. In the clip, we get to ride along for a few laps on Italy’s Monza circuit, powered along by an upgraded 480bhp 3.0L V8 engine that we didn’t even know was an option.

While most of us don’t think about track-day cars when we hear the words “Ford EcoBoost,” you might just change your mind after reading about this sweet ride from British automaker Radical. The Radial RXC Turbo is powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo Ford EcoBoost V6 engine, capable of pushing out an impressive 454 horsepower and 500 lb-ft.
