Press Release:

Radical SR8 RSX Race & Track carRadical Sportscars today announces the SR8 RSX, the Peterborough manufacturer's most advanced, powerful and aerodynamically-developed open racing car yet. The SR8 RSX is Radical's new flagship racing car offering an experience closer to LMP competition than ever before - at a purchase and running cost far below the competition.

Using the latest-generation technology shared with the RXC V8 coupe including a new sevenspeed

paddleshift gearbox and variable-assistance power steering, the SR8 RSX enjoys larger

dimensions than the current SR8 RX, allowing for a bigger and more generously-appointed

cockpit than any previous open Radical and with a greater range of driving aids and benefits than

previously available.

A specification to beat all rivals

The SR8 RSX is the only car in its class and price range to

offer a bespoke racing engine designed specifically for race

and track use. The latest-generation RPE 3.0-litre V8 engine

develops an incredible 440bhp at up to 10,500rpm, yet is

also warranted for up to 40 hours between rebuilds - the

equivalent of a whole season's racing use. The SR8 RSX

is also the only open race car at this price to feature a

seven-speed, paddleshift transverse gearbox, with

architecture identical to Le Mans prototype and top-end

single-seater design.

The all-new FIA-compliant chassis will feature inboard pushrod

suspension for a greater range of adjustment, and 350mm

six-pot ventilated disc brakes behind either 17” or 18” wheel

options to suit a variety of control tyre brands. The SR8 RSX

is also the first open Radical to feature electrically powerassisted

steering with variable assistance options.

The unique body shape draws styling cues from its sister

RXC closed-cockpit model as well as Radical's SR9 LMP2

model. Modular composite bodywork construction reduces

servicing and repair costs whilst giving the SR8 RSX a

contemporary, fluid look clearly distinct from Radical's existing

open-cockpit range.

Inside the cockpit, the dash is dominated by the brand-new

AIM MXG dash logger, featuring a high-contrast 7” TFT display

and integrated WiFi connectivity for data download. The

central instrument pod is styled seamlessly into the nose for

optimum visibility and airflow. Each FIA-certified bucket

seat - specially designed for the requirements of the SR8 RSX

- is adjustable, perfect for trackdays and corporate as well as

race use.

The larger platform allows an FIA fuel cell capacity of up

to 100L, with dual dry-break refuelling an option for

endurance racing.

Pre-orders for the new SR8 RSX will commence immediately

with deliveries in Q1 of 2015. The SR8 RSX will be eligible for

the 2015 Radical European Masters championship, Radical's

premier pan-European racing series visiting revered Grand Prix

circuits across the continent and racing alongside Radical's

existing SR3 RS, SR8 RX and the new SR3 RSX models.

The new SR8 RSX will retail at £109,950 +VAT at launch in

January, with a wide range of performance and racing options

and personalisation available

Domanda stupida,ma il 3.0 V8 è sviluppato da loro?

Sviluppato si... ma si basa su motori esistenti, solitamente combinando due motore motociclistici suzuki insieme.

Di solito gli ecoboost vengono montati sulle "stradali", le SL, perché sono più gestibili per strada e sono molto meno costosi da gestire, oltre a essere revisionati a km invece che a ore... Sono comunque motori particolari come gestione, la sr3 SL ad esempio ogni 10k km richiede revisione turbina o sostituzione.
