I wanna see the actual ver. It might be interesting

But I think this might be fun in the track also

Oh i like that too. The Radical just intrigues me with the fixed roof and some street worthy features. I'm sure it has a supercar pricetag to go along with it too.

Those track day cars are nice except for the stupid engines that they used so they didn't have to test a new engine for emissions. I'd swap them right out for a bike engine or something like that.

Toyota uses a modified Radical chassis for their EV racing program.

Might as well buy a D-Sport Racer and be done with it.

The cops might notice that on the street! And think of the fuel mileage and insurance. Still very cool.

Not street legal though :/ Getting the kit car registered will be a little easier, and then swap the motorbike engine in.

Gas mileage on the 3.7L 6 won't be good, but the 4 cylinder track day cars should have pretty good gas mileage. I'd love to adapt a bike engine to a "close ratio" (for a car) transmission like the C60 or AP1 S2k tranny. Give it some forced induction to make up for the low torque.

Ewww, that intake is disgusting. The only way they could've made it worse is give it a 90 degree snorkel bend. Should've been a submerged inlet on the side. Actually those NACA ducts in front look kinda unfortunate as well. The rest is sexy though.
