Radical Sportscars is a car manufacturer based in Peterborough, England. The company was founded by Phil Abbott who is still the Managing Director and Mick Hyde, who has since retired.
During the company’s short but very full 16-year life it has written its own very successful chapter in race and road car manufacturing. This has included designing the world’s favorite racing car, the SR3 RS (800 units sold over ten years and 100 in 2012 alone), designed and constructed its own racing-spec V8 engine (up to 520bhp yet weighing only 92kg), contested the 24 Hours of Le Mans five times (Radical SR9) and driven around the Nürburgring Nordschleife faster than any other road registered and road-legal car (6 minutes 48 seconds). This, in addition to a host of other lap records and accolades from the global motoring press.

Famous quotes containing the word radical:
“We, when we sow the seeds of doubt deeper than the most up-to- date and modish free-thought has ever dreamed of doing, we well know what we are about. Only out of radical skepsis, out of moral chaos, can the Absolute spring, the anointed Terror of which the time has need.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
