About Us:

Radical Motorsport is one of the world’s most prolific sports car manufacturers, with over 3,000 cars produced in the past 29 years. From its 1997 inception, Radical set out to create a customer-led niche in the world of motorsport; a race-bred thrill-a-minute driving experience. But the Radical philosophy extends much wider than just the cars. By launching our own single-make race championships, we became the first manufacturer to bring long-format, doubleheader endurance racing to customer racing, and provide world class customer service through comprehensive spares and technical support.

At our Peterborough factory, we produce over 150 cars per year, exported to a global network of over 30 dealers. A testament to British handmade craftsmanship with a team comprising engineers who design and test new concepts, to the production teams who machine, fabricate, laminate, engine build, sub assemble, bay assemble, and dyno sign off every Radical car produced.
