This definately is the fastest car in FastestLaps.com. Probably the fastest road legal car ever made. Correct me If I am wrong :)

this car is useless in real life! u'll never see one like it

We (GulfSport Racing) ran our brand new SR8, straight out of the box, in a support race with the A1 GP in Dubai. Without any setup or testing (we were busy running the other cars), our SR8 lapped easily in 1:59's. The FIA GTs had visited about 4 weeks earlier and the fastest lap was set by a $1m works Maserati MC12 in 1:57s. The SR8 cost about $120k. But you need a strong neck!

Test the Ariel Atom Supercharged: 0-60= 2.8 secs 0-100=6.8 secs

Radical wins by a mile

FastestLaps 06/08/07, 20:25:00
I just found out an interesting fact. Radical's V8 engine which is used in this particular car is actually built from two Suzuki GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa V4 engines added together. There is also Radical SR9 under construction and it's planned to use basically the same engine but 3,0 liter instead of 2,6.

Heyhuub 06/08/07, 23:51:05
Yeah, an innovative and low cost solution to get a powerfull engine.

Top speed for this car is higher than 270 km/h. It depends on gearing. Maybe it's 270 km/h with standart gear ratios but it can do much more. 310 - 320 km/h - that's my guess.

"Yeah, an innovative and low cost solution to get a powerfull engine." Innovative?! Porsche has been doing it for years....their flat six started at just under 2 litres...it's now a 3.6, IIRC....give or take a turbo here & there, they haven't done much to increase the base engine power other than add .3 of a litre here and there.....

radical SR8 doing a lap in nurburgring http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwtyZosuPNE&feature=related

Thanks for video links will check them out when I have some time. And I just noticed you have put a bunch of nice shootout videos in "Videos" section!

labeeshment 13/12/07, 23:42:02
the idea is whenever I take a comparison test here and never find videos, I browse around and if there is something worth it, I'll put it here so that you can use them. (sometimes I made some errors...and it was the case with one "Gallardo vds Maranello" that got uploaded before I duble-checked it...and didn't find a way to delete my own mistake - maybe somehow you could let us tell you about it so that it doesn't make redundances)

A little off the topic but why is the "RING" picture a RUF the map looked better

Wander 14/03/08, 20:20:50
The Hayabusa's engine isn't a V4. Its four cylinders are lined up, just like in a ordinary Mini...

rice 14/03/08, 21:38:27
o yeah this is definetly the fastest car on a track right now but it will get its ass handed to it in a straight line or possibly a course like circuit de la sarthe...maybe

rice 23/03/08, 00:12:35
i dont think it is the fastest car on a track im mean it is right know on th nurburgring but people havent tested the ascari kz a10,caparo t1,ultima gtr 720 just thought id list a couple of track cars, plus this thing aint the fastest thing in a straight line it would get its ass handed to it by a couple other..lol

Chiesi 26/03/08, 02:23:04
Come on... isn't a road car... Only in UK. It's fast and everything else but it's a track car for sure.

Georg 07/06/08, 08:59:36
Chiesi thanks to EU law if it gets street legal in one nation (like UK) it gets street legal in all Europen nations, the Ring record run was done with a SR8 with frensh or spanish licens plate.. This thing is the fastest because of one point..it is a realy downforce producing car... that allows turn speeds much higher than any other street legal car, low weight = extrem late braking thanks to downforce there is no need to brake as long as with other cars = much much higher turn speed = no need of 700hp to blow any other car from the track..

Georg 07/06/08, 09:02:52
I have added photos of the real northloop record car taken befor and during the all record smashing 6:55 run

Chiesi 28/06/08, 15:09:46
I know it's fast because of low weight and huge Down force... I'm not retarded... This is very basic eheh! I mean... it doesn't look like a car... it's not confortable... I saw the ring run, it shakes and jumps all the time!! The pilot keep ajusting the seat belt all the time! But anyway... it's a great Track-Car!

Slonya 30/06/08, 19:32:10
Max speed is really 270. Beacause of aerodynamics. It works for downforce, so Cx is big.
