Radical RXC Turbo
 
Awesome performance, awesome expense but maybe it could be said good value.

It looks a little ugly...but impressive.

Paint it gunmetal and get some tan leather in the cabin and I might feel differently. Seems like a good value for the speed. Reminds me a lot of the Ultima GTR...

That is the ugliest steering wheel I've ever seen. And not just in $170,000+ cars- any car. Come to think of it, that dashboard.....

That engine sounds pretty sweet though.

Would daily drive.

I didn't like the engine tone at all. Kind of whiny, at least for the interior shots. I'd take a DP2, DP4, or a Stohl over this. Then again, used, a Radical can be pretty reasonable.

There are several Radical versions that are street legal in Europe. With raised suspension, it can't be all that much worse than a Lotus 7, except for the #$*(&^# gear whine.
