One of its elegant sports cars is Radical PR6 that can outshine anyone in the fast pursuit on the tracks and hills equally.

Powering Radical PR6 is a mean mill i.e. 1,340 cc 4-cylinder engine that might not sound too good keeping in mind it’s a sports car. However, the racer weighs not more than a motorcycle i.e. 480 kg, so the current engine that generates a total of 210hp and 130 pound-feet of torque at 10,500 rpm isn’t that bad. The engine is customizable and can take the power tally to a moderate 280hp. Engine is aligned with 6-speed sequential gearbox that transfers power to the ground. Radical PR6 is capable of racing from 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds, from 50-100 mph in just 6.1 seconds and has a top speed of 140 mph, which is commendable by any mean.
The exterior look of the vehicle is inspired from Le Mans prototype cars that can be seen in the form of low nose, tall front and rear fenders and its open air style. The racer measures 3.79 X 1.03 X 1.55 meters in length, height and width respectively. Its body is built from four-pieces of lightweight fiberglass and front end of the vehicle flaunts honeycomb aluminum construction style that grasps almost the whole energy in case of front collision. Additionally, the front and the rear of the car is adorned with high down-force composite diffusers, there is high down-force wing at the rear, racer has an aluminum fuel tank fuel tank of 36 liters, and cast aluminum 7 x 13 inches wheels shine on the front and 9 x 13 inches embellish the rear.
