The Radical RXC blows apart what was previously thought possible in the supercar marketplace.RXC is faster, more visually aggressive, more dynamic and performance-focused than anythingthis sector has ever seen.

From the makers of the Nürburgring production car lap record holder and the world’s most

prolific producer of race cars comes a Le Mans-inspired racer for the road alongside a race

variant ready for international GT and sportscar championships.

Road trips, trackdays andrace weekends will neverbe the same again.

Brief history ofRadicalThrough continual product development, expansion into new markets and with a customer support framework

previously unseen in the motorsport and track car industry, Radical Sportscars has now grown to become the world’s

largest producer of racing and track cars. Over 250 units leave Radical’s Peterborough manufacturing base each year

destined for customers in Europe, the Far East, Latin America, Australia and almost everywhere in-between.

During the company’s short but very full 16-year life it has written its own very successful chapter

in race and road car manufacturing. This has included designing the world’s favourite

racing car, the SR3 RS (800 units sold over ten years and 100 in 2012 alone),

designed and constructed its own racing-spec V8 engine (up to 520bhp yet

weighing only 92kg), contested Le Mans five times (Radical SR9) and driven

around the Nürburgring Nordschleife faster than any other road registered

and road-legal car (6 minutes 48 seconds). This, in addition to a host of

other lap records and accolades from the global motoring press.

The launch of the EC Type Approved SR3 SL in late 2011 put Radicalon the extreme road car map, immediately scooping Evo magazine’sTrackday Car of the Year prize and obliterating Autocar magazine’stest track lap record at MIRA. EC Type Approval was an ambitiousstep but though considerable investment and time the SR3 SL hasbecome a European success story, opening up wide-scale Radicalownership to markets such as France, Germany, Switzerland andEastern Europe.

Radical’s continuing commitment to reducing the cost of racing sees a raft of changes in 2013, including the launch of a new championship for novice racers, the SR1 Cup, with no less thanBritain’s most gilded Olympian, Sir Chris Hoy signed up and raring to take part. At the opposite end of the scale, Radical’s MastersEuroseries offers racing at Europe’s best GP circuits - such as Spa,Monza and Barcelona - with lap times comparable to LMP machinerybut at far lower cost.

There is now a sportscar racing ladder that can take drivers fromtrackdays all the way to Le Mans and now the RXC joins this extraordinary range of cars, adding something new and attracting awider audience to the Radical brand than ever before enhancing the‘spirit’ of Radical by continuing to produce the most focused yetaccessible and affordable track and road cars available anywhere in the world.

12 I RXC

History of the RXCThe RXC is the culmination of three and a half years of design and development to create the world’s most extreme

road legal coupe. Influenced and inspired by contemporary LMP design, it brings a true taste of Le Mans to the road.

Dramatically styled, uncompromising in performance but with class-beating running costs, the RXC opens up

hyper-GT ownership to a wider audience than previously possible.

The RXC is a completely clean-sheet design for Radical with only a handful of components carried over from its

present range. Everything from the chassis and suspension design to the new V6 engine and seven-speed gearbox

configuration has been developed specifically for the RXC under the guidance of Radical’s MD Phil Abbott and Chief

Designer Nick Walford and his development team.

Phil Abbott:

In the whole history of Radical I don't think I've been more excited about a new car than I am now with theRXC. It's the car we've always wanted to make, and by applying our extensive knowledge and understanding we

have produced a GT car that - just like all our other products - will outperform machinery costing many timesmore. But more important than that

...it is incredibly thrilling to drive.

The RXC breaks the mould in bringing current LMP styling and aerodynamics to the street

15 I RXC

DesignThe RXC experience starts the moment you set eyes on its dramatic styling. Using experience from the SR9 Le Mans

project – as well as extensive CAD modelling – the RXC breaks the mould in bringing current LMP styling and

aerodynamics to the street. Carefully directed airflow means the RXC generates 900kg of over and underbody

downforce, equalling the car’s mass at maximum speed.

Cooling for the engine and braking systems is directed though vents in the nose and sidepods whilst a GT3-

specification rear wing is adjustable to suit different circuit configurations. The cockpit is easily accessed by the

gullwing doors, part of the most complex body that Radical has ever produced and incorporating both composite and

carbon fibre sections. This multi-piece bodywork comes in a wide palette of colours and is designed to be easily and

cost-effectively repaired or replaced.

The bodywork clothes a high-tensile, laser-cut CDS tubular steel spaceframe, developed in the same way as Radical’s FIA-approved SR series chassis. The integral rollcage ensures maximum occupant safety and vehicle stiffness, withboth the nose and tail of the car boasting monocoque crash boxes. To prove the strength and very high level of safetythe chassis has been subjected to the same comprehensive FIA crash test that Le Mans cars are subjected to.

At the heart of the RXC beats a high-performance, low maintenance V6 engine

19 I RXC

PowertrainAt the heart of the RXC beats a high-performance, low maintenance V6 engine. The Ford Duratec 37 Ti-VCT engine

used in the RXC has been optimised by in-house engine division RPE and engine management partner AER to create

a reliable, high-power yet low running cost powertrain.

The standard engine is a 3.7-litre 24-valve V6 unit with twin-independent variable cam timing and sequential multi-port

electronic injection, controlled by a bespoke Radical/AER Life engine management system as employed successfully

on the SR3 SL roadster. A fly-by-wire throttle ensures immediate power and response and it meets full Euro 5

emissions compliance for markets across the world. Despite their racing specification the engine and gearbox service

intervals are up to 10,000km.

For territories and championships that allow it, Radical can also offer a 3.0-litre 480bhp variant of its RP-series V8

engine. In production since 2006, the RP V8 is a proven high-performance powerplant used by Radical’s SR8 RX

racecar and many other racecars worldwide. This latest 3.0-litre configuration takes the Radical concept to the

absolute, while still offering affordable running and rebuild costs well below any other bespoke racing engine.

Both engine options drive the rear wheels through an all-new bespoke RPE/Quaife seven-speed transverse gearbox

that is low in weight and ensures the overall weight balance remains very close to that of an SR3. Featuring paddleshift

and an integral Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing differential, gear ratios are quickly and easily changed from the side of

the gearbox like current F1 design practice. The in-house developed paddleshift system allows full-bore, 50ms

seamless upshifts and automatically blips the throttle for clutchless downshifts without the need to heel-and-toe.

The suspensionand brakesFor the first time on a Radical the RXC features a bespoke Intrax Racing Suspension inboard push rod suspension

system withdouble wishbones all round to reduce unsprung mass and further improve Radical’s class-leading ride

quality and handling. Four-way adjustment is available as an option on the RXC-optimised dampers, with all cars

benefitting from GT3-style camber and suspension geometry adjustment capability.

330mm front and 310mm rear fully-floating disc brakes with six-pot calipers take care of braking. Carbon ceramic

discs and calipers are available as an option. The brakes sit inside 17” centre-lock wheels front and rear – the biggest

ever fitted to a Radical production car.

ElectronicsThe AiM MXL2 LCD multifunction dashboard debuts on the RXC and

providesa comprehensive snapshot of both engine information and

performance figures. The optional datalogging system adds a

comprehensive portfolio of configurable inputs, from brake pressure and

temperature logging to G forces and suspension travel. AiM’s acclaimed

SmartyCam system can also be added to the system to provide video with

a realtime overlay of data, ideal for lap time improvement or corporate use.
