2013–2017 Radical RXC 3.0 V8 Specs & Performance

The Radical RXC 3.0 V8 is a race-inspired sports coupe that brings prototype-style engineering to an enclosed, two-seat design. Its low body, sculpted aerodynamic surfaces, and rear-mid-engine layout reflect a clear focus on speed and balance rather than conventional grand-touring comfort. A lightweight chassis, rear-wheel drive, and double-wishbone suspension at both ends help deliver the responsive handling expected of a purpose-built performance car. With its high-revving naturally aspirated V8, the RXC stands apart from turbocharged rivals, appealing to enthusiasts who value sharp reactions, distinctive engineering, and a driving experience shaped by Radical’s motorsport background.

For the 2013–2017 model range, the RXC 3.0 V8 uses a 2.9-liter V8 engine with an actual displacement of 2,948 cc, producing 480 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a seven-speed sequential transmission with paddle-operated shifting, rather than a conventional manual gearbox. AutoSpecsHub lists a 0–60 mph time of 2.6 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph. With a curb weight of 2,046 pounds, a 100.8-inch wheelbase, and seating for two, the RXC combines a compact footprint with impressive power. Double-wishbone suspension and ventilated disc brakes at both ends complete its track-focused package.
