Radical Unveils Its Most Radical Project!
14/01/10
The SRZero, Radical’s first electric sports car, has been unveiled at the Autosport International show in Birmingham. More>
The SRZero is powered by two EVO Axial Flux motors, which are designed to offer unparalled performance in terms of power, torque, weight, size, efficiency, reliability and durability. The twin electric motors are powered by the latest lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are linked to a state-of-the-art battery management and control system. The range is boosted by the inclusion of a regenerative braking system similar to that of Formula One’s KERS system, which was introduced into the sport last year. Radical Sportscars, the Peterborough-based sportscar manufacturer, worked with Imperial College London’s Racing Green Endurance team to develop this all-electric supercar, and the results are stunning.
The Radical SRZero has a top speed of 190 km/h with capability to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds. The supercar will be demonstrated in a number of events, culminating with a 26,000km (16,000 mile) endurance trip from Argentina to Alaska later this year. Radical want the SRZero to be the world’s most focused, fun-to-drive electric vehicle.
