Radical SR8 - 2.6l V8

The Radical SR8 has broken new ground in the burgeoning sports prototype market.
  • True, Le Mans-style aerodynamics
  • Room for two large adults
  • A unique, lightweight, powerful V8 engine
  • Slick, lightweight six-speed sequential shift
  • Exemplary handling, confirmed by all who drive the SR8
  • Outright lap record around the Nürburgring Nordschleife
  • The list goes on...
With over twenty-five cars built and running, the SR8 is now a well-developed, and reliable car.

The SR8 is not cheap, but where else in the world can you get a sports car which is designed around the world's only lightweight V8 engine which develops over 360bhp in standard form? The Powertec RPA enigne revs to 10,500rpm, has exceptionally good power and torque curves, and sounds gorgeous!

The SR8 is a available with either an ultra-lightweight Hewland JFR six-speed sequential gearbox, with plate-style LSD or the new uprated Quaife RQ2, with it's ultra-lightweight shift and torque-biasing LSD

The SR8 is comfy to sit in (a new, high-sided seat holds the driver in very securely) and all the controls come directly to hand. The pedal box and seat are fully adjustable, enabling drivers of all sizes to fit comfortably, which is just as well as the SR8 will pull 3g around a fast corner, helped by the sporty Dunlop 15" / 16" diameter slicks, designed specifically for the car.

The SR8 is an awesome experienceJim Greenfield, who won the last race of the 2005 season at Brands Hatch, had previously only raced Clubsports and Prosports. Jim enthused, "Previously, I have always raced at the wrong end of the grid. I got in the SR8, and with minimum practice, was able to stay with the front-running professionals. The SR8 is an awesome experience, but don't be put off by it's pace, it's a pussy cat to drive!"
