The highly strung motor produces its max output of 455bhp at a lofty 10,500rpm and is mated to a paddle-operated power shifter which allows flat shifts going up the box and automatically 'blips' the throttle going down. According to its makers, the SR8LM is capable of keeping up with a Le Mans prototype around most circuits but sets you back just over £89,000.
John Morris, Radical's USA West Coast distributor, recently took delivery of one of the first SR8 LM's at his Nevada race track in Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, and describes it as having the feel of an F1 car. Radical sells a range of circuit cars starting with its entry-level SR3 Supersport and topping out with the SR9 LMP2 Le Mans prototype racer.
