Radical
Prosport PR06
Introduction
Radical’s iconic Prosport, raced with huge success on both
sides of the Atlantic, has undergone a major chassis and
aerodynamic upgrade. An all-new lightweight spaceframe chassis boasts a central driving
position, and the SR4’s easy-to-adjust, reversing torque-biasing
limited-slip differential. Safety features include MSA / SCCA-approved pedal box, high side
protection, and roll-over structure.
A new, highly-effective front diffuser, side pods and bi-plane rear
wing dramatically improves downforce. The front and rear bodywork
sections have also been re-modelled to include integral wheel arch
louvers and new rear light clusters. The combination of dramatically improved aerodynamics and reduced
weight has produced a car with unbeatable handling, while being easy
and forgiving to drive. |

Engine
The PR06 may be fitted with one of five Powertec engines ranging from 1000cc
to 1500cc depending on the championship entered. Radical’s reputation
for reliability and after-sales service is unmatched in this market.
Transmission
Six-speed sequential gearbox and chain drive, via a torque-biasing limited-slip
differential. Internal modifications made by Powertec ensure that the gearbox
is both precise and reliable. A pneumatic, paddle-operated, semi-automatic
gear shift system as been developed, for the ultimate seamless shift.
Chassis
The powder-coated steel spaceframe chassis is clad with powder-coated, bonded
aluminium panles and complies with MSA and SCCA regulations. Safety is paramount
at Radical. All PR06 cars incorporate a race-proven front crashbox, side
impact pods and rear roll-over bar with forward-facing stays. The chassis
will withstand a frontal impact of 20 times the car’s own weight, and
14 times the car’s own weight vertically on the roll-over bar.
36 litre foam-filled fuel tank mounted behind the
driver. Suspension
The patented ‘Nik’ suspension system is fully-adjustable and operates
at the front and rear of the PR06. Available with single- or triple-adjustable
dampers, the ‘Nik’ system gives drivers a unique “confidence
factor” which allows them to put the PR06 on the limit without fear of
a sudden break away.
Bodywork
The bodywork comprises a removable lightweight, self-coloured fibre glass nose
and engine cover with flush-mounted release clips and integral louvers. Fixed
side pods and cockpit surround incorporate integral radiators and cooling
ducts. Front diffuser and full width bi-plane rear wing complete the package.
Cockpit
As with all Radicals, drivers immediately feel at one in the cockpit, with
everything falling straight to hand. The moulded drivers seat is extremely
comfortable and can be adjusted to suit most driver sizes. The pedal box
can similarly be adjusted to further enhance driver comfort.
Instrumentation
A dashboard features all the switches and controls , plus Radical’s unique
instrument panel. This panel incorporates a super-bright LED rev counter, shift
lights, high-intensity LCD display of engine parameters and speed, plus warning
lights and maximum revs recall button.
An integral steering wheel / dash /data logger is
also available with optional predictive lap timer. Wheels
