Track car specialist Radical has revealed its most road-oriented model yet, the Rapture, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The firm says its new flagship model has been designed to offer “a raw, exhilarating driving experience” on road and track, with a focus on weight-saving and aerodynamic efficiency.

Powering the Rapture is Ford’s 2.3-litre Ecoboost, as available in the Mustang and new Focus ST - which has been tuned by Radical to produce 350bhp and 320lb ft. Modifications include a lightweight crankshaft, forged pistons and conrods, and the addition of a twin-scroll supercharger from the Ford Focus RS.
The Rapture will sprint from 0-60mph in a claimed 3.0sec, and on to a top speed of 165mph.
Power is sent from the mid-mounted engine to the rear wheels through a six-speed paddle-shift gearbox, with an ‘auto blipper’ that automatically matches engine revs to road speed.

Well....
At least it has one more seat than the mono, no price mentioned,but I’d think it would be cheaper,and it just as quick too!
