[color:#000099]Radical Sportscars will launch an astounding three cars at Autosport International, headlined by its new trackday and road-focused roadster, the SR3 SL.

The show is your first opportunity to see the 300bhp SR3 SL, which is powered by a 2,000cc Ford-RPE EcoBoost engine. The turbocharged unit has Twin-Independent Variable Cam Timing, while high-pressure direct injection transmits its power to the road via a six-speed sequential gearbox. Radical is also offering a �race pack� for the SR3 SL, with options including an engine calibration map selection, FIA-approved fuel cell, racing bi-plane rear wing and racing tyre options.[/color]

Caterham are also due to announce something new.

I saw this, got a little excited and then remembered how many Radicals I’ve seen broken down on TD’s

Hope it comes with AA membership :wink:

Indeedy, Chris :smiley:

The Ford powerplant may alleviate the reliability issue somewhat, but I reckon such an “extreme” car will always be a high maintenance toy.

A seven with a walnut dash & multi level air con to meet the aspirations of Mr Ansar perhaps?

If they can get their act together these 2 firms could be the new home for the many die hard lotus fans. Interesting to see the reviews when they’re launched.
