Street Legal: 2014 Radical RXC Coupé

As awesome a track toy as they are, the idea of a Radical being a "street legal car" is pretty amusing. Get a bike already if you are going to have to wear a full face helmet to go to the Hamptons in your SR3 SL.

But what is they put a roof on it? that becomes an entirely different proposition in our books. Towards the end of the video (via Sport Auto) you catch a glimpse of the upcoming Radical RXC Coupé.
With 650HP V8 power and real aero in something that weighs about as much as couple of toasters, aside from the fact that it will probably get stuck on the first bump you will find and then catch on fire, it very well may be the new boss for the Track Day World Championship!

Radical Renaults

A play on words, these racers have about as much in common with a real Megane as a Radical has to a road car (sorry Radical but your claim that you have the road car record of the Nordschleife is ludicrous!).

But hey who cares? I bet CG will join me when I say I would LOVE to have a go with one of these hatchbacks. Sorry, no Americans allowed, we are told by marketers that Americans hate hatchbacks so a French hatchback would really be out of the question! ;O)



check out the cool instrument display on this short clip. Look when the car "re-boots" and it looks like a gt4 screen!



Fo reference this is what the sportiest of the real Meganes looks like. Surprisingly, the R26 (now there is an R27) got rave reviews from EVO magazine, in their track test it obliterated the latest TypeR by over 4 seconds on a 1:36 lap!!
