£38,000 - £45,000 One thousand cars. You don’t sell that many sports racing cars in
little more than a decade unless the package is thrilling, dramatic, huge fun to drive and excellent value for money. Equally you don’t call your cars ‘Radical’, unless you offer something innovative and unique and that was exactly the philosophy of company founders Mick Hyde and Phil Abbott. They weren’t about to build ‘just another sportscar’; their approach was revolutionary and together they created a whole new way of life in the world of motorsport. Their original idea was to design a lightweight sportscar that utilised superbike technology and in doing so, they conceived a car that was faster than a supercar, totally driver focused and intensely rewarding to drive.

The iconic Clubsport model established the company in 1997 and it is still raced with enthusiasm all around the world. Its success was instantaneous and the full grids soon led to developments; the Prosport added wings, more power and wider slicks, but the team at Radical were never going to rest on their ever-growing laurels.
