New Radical RXC breaks coiver

The new 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 anything this sector has ever seen.

From the makers of the undisputed Nrburgring production car lap record holder and the worlds 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 and race weekends will never be the same again.The RXC is the ultimate rule breaker

The Radical RXC Race will be unveiled at the 2013 Autosport International Show at 10:30 on Thursday 10th January 2013, on the Radical Group stand (Hall 20, stand 2620) with a fully EC Type Approved road car on sale from summer 2013, and both models priced with a special launch price of 89,500+VAT.
