Radical SR3

Introduction
The Peterborough-based company has produced over 300 sports racing cars. In it's first year of production, the Radical SR3 has set new standards of performance and handling. The car has become the benchmark by which all extreme sportscars must be judged.

The full-race SR3 Supersport has proven to be the world's fastest one-make sports racing car, lapping circuits at near Formula 3 times, providing discerning club racers with the ultimate driving experience at a very competitive price, whilst a road-legal* SR3 Tracksport has lapped the BBC's Top Gear test circuit in 1 minute 15 seconds, eight seconds faster than it's nearest rival, the Pagani Zonda. The same car lapped EVO magazine's test track in the wet, 11 seconds faster than a Porsche GT3's dry lap time.

At it's first attempt in 2002, the 1500cc SR3 narrowly missed being the fastest production car around the historical 14-mile Nürburgring 'Nordschleife' circuit. In August 2003, the awesome SR3 Turbo was despatched to the German circuit, and on it's first - and only - flying lap, smashed the existing record by a massive 13 seconds.

On the road (in the UK only), the SR3 has also proved a sensation, providing superbike performance and a head-turning presence that cannot be matched. Even Motorcycle News proclaimed that the Radical SR3-LM was nearly as good as a Ducati 999s!

A host of design and technical innovations are incorporated into the SR3. The removable lightweight bodywork looks spectacular from every angle. The patented suspension system gives incredible grip and drivability. A range of Powertec engines provide fearsome performance with high levels of reliability, while four-pot calipers and ventilated disc brakes give eye-popping stopping power. The unique Quaife-built drive system incorporates a slick and reliable reverse gear system, and a torque-bias limited-slip differential for optimum power delivery.

If extreme performance, handling and style, with race-proven safety are top of your wish list, the SR3 is in a league of it's own.

"There is nothing much outside Formula 1 that will give you the same sensation of speed and handling that you'll get in an SR3, and unlike a Formula 1 car, a passenger can come along for the ride. I was so impressed that I joined the Radical Enduro championship this year in an SR3 Supersport, my first full-time racing programme since my Formula 1 career was brought to a premature end."
- Martin Donnelly - (ex-Lotus Formula 1 driver - 1990).

Radical SR3 Safety
The SR3 sets new standards of safety for the discerning club racer and trackday enthusiast. In addition to the major benefit of having enclosed wheels, Radical's spaceframe chassis incorporates a range of safety features. An integral roll cage complies with the latest FIA, MSA and SCCA regulations and the high-strength footwell incorporates an adjustable pedal box, positioned to the rear of the front wheel centre line.

Like it's well-proven predecessor, the Prosport, the SR3's chassis is exceptionally strong, and is in fact, some 30% torsionally stiffer. Mounted on the front of the chassis is an optional aluminium crash box, designed to absorb energy in the event of a frontal accident. Side impact protection comprises the well-proven crushable side pods, but with the addition of integral energy-absorbing crash bars.

* Please note that Radical SR3's cars can be made road-legal in the UK only.
