Will this carry a weeks shopping?

@BoberMcBoberson Also, with your F22 analogy, if the Air show was for general aviation then the Raptor deserves to be represented. Would anyone compare the F22 raptor to a a P-51 mustang on the same terms? No. The same is true of the radical. It went around the nurburgring to see how fast it could do it and it just happened to beat every other production car. It is a road legal production car so it deserves to be known as the fastest production car. Simple.

@BoberMcBoberson Well, the whole speed/lap time thing is arbitrary anyway. What does it matter how you define the catagories?Also, there is a lot more to the litigation of road cars than just sticking the turn signals on. There are safety regulations and HP restrictions that an F1 car will never pass. The Radical is only 460 bhp which is the same as a 911 roughly. it's speed comes from fine engineering & not just piling on HP. Which I think is fair.

@Psydome360 Yeah but it's kinda spoils the spirit of it. Yeah technically its a production car. But I think the line needs to be defined a little better. This thing (Awesome may it be) is a race car with headlights and turning signals. Apparently someone could put lights and what not on F1 or IRL cars and sell them, and that would be legal. It's like if you were to buy and showed up to an airshow for general aviation with an f-22 raptor. It's just not the same.

@CBR11X It is a production car mate. It is available to buy and on the Nurburgring Nordschleife website, the Radical is listed in production car laptimes. A production car is any car that is road legal and available to buy as opposed to concept cars, Pre-production prototypes and Racing class.

This isn't really a production car, regardless of what people may say. The lap itself was brilliant and all respect to the driver, he was smooth and awesome to watch. This car is a big 'go kart' using ground effect, generating over 700kg of downforce, more than the weight of the car itself! It's motor is about 455 bhp and is effectively two hayabusa cylinder heads on top of a V8, max rpm about 10500. Described as a road going F1 car. Not a car you'd go shopping with!

Unbelievable driver!! Much respect to him!

Wrong class. The Radical SR8 is a Production model, fastest production car in the world, period.
