More impressed by the Ferrari than this. Radical started as a track car.

 

[Fr0dders]

the ferrari isnt even road legal :\ Its just as much a track car as the radical.

Nonsense. It weighs 3 times as much.

 

[Housey]

Nonsense. It weighs 3 times as much.

Hence my point really. Start with a thimble and make a quick car is somewhat less of a challenge than starting with a church.

 

[Fr0dders]

I never said it weighed the same.

Increading power and reducing weight are different ways to achieve an improved power to weight ratio.

Reducing weight improves everything though not just power to weight.

Wow fabulous car and awesome video, stonking time too!

Nonsense. It weighs 3 times as much.

I do not see the point in the car?

Nonsense. It weighs 3 times as much.

I have to agree with MrLOL, quick lap and impressive engineering but something that costs a fair bit less which is road legal beating that by 10 seconds is far more impressive to be quite honest.

You could probably make a 3 series do the same if you had a team of awesome engineers and ferrari's financial backing.

Looking at the pistonheads comments, someone took a photo of it in the pit area and it had slick tyres on it.

'Production derived' is such a stupid term, it's a race/track car that (seems likely to have) lapped on slicks and had to be trailered to and from the track.

What a surprise, Ferrari racing car does fast lap time. Who would have thought?

Amen, it's a race car.

Impressed - no
Surprised - no

Radical SR8 is still the daddy

With enough spanners and engineers you could probably make a rove. . . . Actually, no, you proabbly couldn't

Nice, I'd be interested in what the GTO can do.

Yup! Ferrari isn't road legal, and is slower. And the Radical did its lap on road legal tyres, not slicks.

I'd take the Radical every day of the week, genuinely.
