Vehicle Description
Radical RXC Turbo 500R The best of British motorsport engineering
twinned with exclusive Italian design! UK extreme road and track
car manufacturer Radical Sportscars releases its most powerful and
highly-specified car yet at the 2016 Geneva International Motor
Show, with the launch of the RXC Turbo 500R. For the first time the
RXC coup features dramatic lightweight carbon fibre bodywork,
enveloping a new high-specification, twin-intercooled variant of
the acclaimed Ford EcoBoost V6 engine. This latest-generation
powertrain develops over 600bhp and 465lbft for genuine
hypercar-rivalling performance - but with purchase and operating
costs far below the opposition. The new carbon bodywork process -
first showcased on the RXC Spyder stablemate just a few weeks ago -
saves 50kg improving the staggering power-to-weight ratio to over
530bhp/tonne. The EcoBoost now features forged pistons,
hand-finished gas flowed cylinder heads and exhaust headers and a
revised engine management system for power delivery that is both
brutal and progressive. Bigger 360mm front and 330mm rear
fully-floating disc brakes linked to a new Bosch Motorsport ABS
braking system result in class-leading stopping ability - twinned
with the RXC's legendary mechanical grip and advanced LMP
aerodynamics, the RXC Turbo 500R is Radical's fastest-ever track
coupe. The RXC Turbo 500R also features numerous unique styling
touches from Aznom Automotive, a progressive Milan-based automotive
styling house. Aznom Design Studio was founded in 2006 with the aim
of offering a complete automotive tailoring service that draws on
technologies from different fields to create unique products. The
interior of the RXC Turbo 500R by Aznom is designed to reflect the
pure racing roots of the standard car whilst bringing it even
closer to a luxurious GT car. Aznom Automotive have designed the
following unique features for this special edition RXC Turbo 500R,
