If you see a Radical creeping up behind you on the track, get out of the way! These little track cars are fast and I don’t mean on the straights, as you will find out in this video, but on the twisty stuff. Michael Vergers, driving a Radical SR8LM, shattered the production car track record by 8 seconds securing a time of 6:48! To really get a better understanding of how fast that is, check out the following lap times:

1. Ferrari Enzo – 7:25.3
2. Maserati MC12 – 7:24.3
3. Porsche 911 GT2 – 7:32.02

So how does the Radical pull this off? A lightweight body, fantastic aerodynamics, and a Suzuki Hyabusa modified engine putting out 455 hp. And great driving of course.

Stay tuned! Pun intended.
