If you do not have enough to the standard Radical RXC with its 380 horsepower 3.7-liter V6, the small British brand is good news for you. There is now the Radical RXC Turbo with a extra potent powertrain.

The 3.7-liter V6 from Ford, which is normally at the back of a RXC is set, is replaced by a Ford EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6 with two turbo’s. The engine delivers 460 hp/678 Nm and that is more than enough to make the 940 kilo weighing RXC Turbo are place to get.

The sprint from 0 to 96 km/h (60 mph) gets this light-weight in just 2.6 seconds and the top speed is 296 km/h. Of the regular RXC has Radical already had 20 copies delivered and RXC Turbo will no doubt for some extra orders ensure.

You can as a customer choose between a RXC Turbo that is suitable for the public road, or for, one that only the circuit in may. The price, excluding taxes, is little more than 130,000 euros. According to Radical is at least one RXC to the Netherlands.

A reassurance for the future owner, a Radical RXC, I only use thresholds.
