Radical RXC 3,7 V6 425 CV - Auto Sport - Auto Sport
Destructive on the highway and "enjoyable" on the road. If you are looking for real racing emotions ...
British manufacturer's idea of a "roadworthy" sports car Radical called RXC... The RXC is, I would say, almost unusable. In fact, Le Mans prototype approved for road use: tubular frame, fiberglass body, extreme aerodynamics, carbon fiber elements, sequential gearbox and (almost) zero electronics. There are also "amenities" if the climate, wipers and defroster can be considered as such, but that's like putting an LED screen in a curtain and saying it's an attic. The dashboard isn't exactly flashy either: a racing steering wheel, racing seats with four-point harnesses, and a digital instrument cluster are all you'll find, plus a few levers and buttons for basic functions. The only data you should be interested in is weight and power: the balance arrow stops at 900 kg and behind the seat the driver "lives" 3,7 V6 Ford up to 425 CVcapable of starting the car with 0 to 100 km / h in 2,8 seconds to a top speed of 280 km / h... In short, the Radical RXC makes it look like one Porsche GT3 comfortable touring car and lotus as a toy, but how will it drive on the road?
ON THE ROAD OR ALMOST
The prototype lives between the curbs, but The Radical RXC can indeed be used on the road if you are willing to make some (if not a few) trade-offs.. We assume that getting into the car interior through the gullwing doors is not an easy task, and that the car is so low that it decapitates any unfortunate insect that gets in its way. But having said this,The V6 is bland and civilian, and the vehicle is extremely docile and intuitive.. In the city, of course, it’s not comfortable, but on the mountain passes (maybe choose a warm period) it’s just fantastic. It's lightning fast, but never intimidating or intimidating - it's a car that feels fashionable and often tells you that you're far from being at your limit and can handle a lot more power. Half-race Dunlops, when they reach temperature, become like cat claws hammered into a sofa. On the fast lane, where aerodynamics start to work wonders, it's deadly.
The steering is so coherent and precise that it feels like your hands are on the wheels; encourages you to drive firmly, cleanly.
KILLER AMONG TURNOVER
On the track, it's hard for anyone to keep up with you. It brakes so late, accelerates so fast, and remains so stuck and steady in fast corners that it feels like the world is moving in slow motion. So what Radical RXC with 6 V3,7 engine - quieter version, if desired, there is also a version 530 h.p. turbo, even less kindness to your organs.
Price? About 130.000 XNUMX euros.
