Radical SR8
Well 'christine' has gone on the dyno for the first time
 The new Powertec developed V8 produced 380+BHP on the test bed. The engine has now been mated to the novel drivetrain ( the oil 'tank' is in the bellhousing ) and run up on the road dyno and turned in a solid 300+hp at the wheels. Torque is 200+lb/ft and flat acrosss the revs from 4,000 to 10,000+ http://www.radicalextremesportscars..../christine.mp3 This is SOUNDING and looking good for a new track champion   “When this development phase is complete, we will look at producing a two litre version, and a highly-tuned version for the hill climb boys. The sky is the limit. I’m expecting a call from Minardi and Jordan any day now!” Keep up-to-date at http://www.radicalextremesportscars....a_v8/index.php

Would this fit in the new F1 regulations?

What is good news is this is NOT a highly-tuned version or a focussed version to a spec. Can't wait to see what they'll do for the hill-climb boys ( where currently SPECIAL DFVs and Judds rule the open-classes ). They're quoting a 30-hour race use before rebuilds. SO ..... wonder what they could achieve if the stress it out to only 6 hour use [F1 weekend]But even beter, imagine a sensible streetcar with 'normal' body and passenger comforts - got to be the one for the UCP Supercar I need to move seat again, the floor's wet

anyway ...... Dimensions Length 546mm Width 513mm Height 440mm Dry Weight 92.6kg 400hp. BIG The Quaiffe 6-speed transaxle only weighs 35kg So EVERYTHING for 130kg (290lbs) makes the idea of a sub400kg monster possible

I wonder if this fits in that new Caterham CSR chassis. That would make one awesome car.
