I have filmed a friend's Radical RS8 LM being tested at the Monza racetrack. Actually, it's the fastest road legal car at the Nurburgring track with a lap time of 6:48. The video shows many accelerations and very high speed fly bys with also a little backfire. In the main straight the top speed they reached was 302km/h.

Ferrari P4/5 Competizione LOUD Sound!
I have filmed James Glickenhaus' Ferrari P4/5 Competizione in a cold and foggy day on the Franciacorta racetrack during some track tests. This racecar is a custom one-off based on the Ferrari 430 Scuderia with F430 GT2 engine, it has been built to compete in the 2011 Nurburgring 24h race. The video shows the Competizione being pushed on the track with many accelerations, fly bys and revs, so turn up the speakers!

375 hp, 2.6 Liter V8- neighborhood drive
The 375 hp, 2.6 Liter H1V8 is very well mannered and is easily driven on the street.
Some have commented that this engine would have little torque at low rpm and believe that a 10,000 rpm red-lined engine would be high strung and difficult to drive on the street. Actually the engine is very well behaved at low speed and there is plenty of torque and power below 5000 rpm. This video shows the low speed characteristics of the engine during a drive thru the neighborhood. Note that the rear wheels easily broke loose below 5000 rpm in 2nd gear. For reference, 2nd gear tops out at 92 mph and max. torque is at 7500 rpm.
2010 Mercedes-Benz Biome Concept
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL:
http://www.youtube.com/user/lamborghinifreak123 Thanks!
At the 2010 Los Angeles Design Challenge, the designers from the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studios in Carlsbad, California, surprised everyone with a revolutionary vision. Taking their inspiration from nature, they designed a vehicle which is fully integrated into the ecosystem, from the moment of its creation right through to the end of its service life. The Mercedes-Benz BIOME Concept grows in a completely organic environment from seeds sown in a nursery. Out on the road the car emits pure oxygen, and at the end of its lifespan it can be simply composted or used as building material.
"As the inventor of the motor car, we wanted to illustrate the vision of the perfect vehicle of the future, which is created and functions in complete symbiosis with nature. The Mercedes-Benz BIOME Concept is a natural technology hybrid, and forms part of our earth's ecosystem. It grows and thrives like the leaves on a tree" according to Hubert Lee, Head of the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studios in Carlsbad. This year the competition had called for the creation of a vision of a safe and comfortable 2+2 compact car featuring good handling and a first-class design, and weighing only 1,000 lbs (around 454 kg/kerb weight).
Mercedes-Benz symbiosis - a partnership with nature
The Mercedes-Benz BIOME Concept symbiosis vehicle is made from an ultralight material called BioFibre and tips the scales at just 875.5 lbs (around 394 kg). This material is significantly lighter than metal or plastic, yet more robust than steel. BioFibre is grown from proprietary DNA in the Mercedes-Benz nursery, where it collects energy from the sun and stores it in a liquid chemical bond called BioNectar4534. As part of this process, the vehicle is created from two seeds: The interior of the BIOME grows from the DNA in the Mercedes star on the front of the vehicle, while the exterior grows from the star on the rear. To accommodate specific customer requirements, the Mercedes star is genetically engineered in each case, and the vehicle "grows" when the genetic code is combined with the seed capsule. The wheels are grown from four separate seeds.
The Mercedes-Benz BIOME Concept is powered by BioNectar4534, which is stored in the BioFibre material of the chassis, interior, and wheels. In addition, Mercedes-Benz has developed a technology to equip trees with special receptors which can collect the excess solar energy and turn it into BioNectar4534. This creates a direct link with nature's energy sources and acts as an incentive to cover mobility energy requirements through more trees and at the same time maintain natural resources. Like plants, the Mercedes-Benz symbiosis vehicle also produces oxygen, thereby contributing to improving air quality. At the end of its service life, the Mercedes-Benz BIOME can be fully composted or used as building material. Thanks to the exclusive use of green technologies, the BIOME vehicle thus blends seamlessly into the ecosystem.
Radical SR8, Magny-Cours 19-11-2011, Tinseau Test Days, découverte...
Essai de la Radical SR8 à M-Cours le 19-11-2011
Après la SR3, la SR8 plus puissante (450cv) est beaucoup plus subtile à dompter et à placer... l'écart est beaucoup plus important par rapport à tout ce que j'ai essayé, et demande beaucoup plus de temps d'adaptation et oublier surtout les repères de la GT...
Il faut me familiariser avec l'aéro de cette auto pour en exploiter le potentiel... du travail en perspective !
Un "Ideal Time " de 1'46 tout de même ...

Radical SR8LM Lap Record at Nurburgring 6:48 sec
Radical SR8LM Record Lap at Nurburgring in a time of 6:48. See More details at http://www.autoblog.gr
Radical Smash Nordschleife Lap Record
Peterborough sportscar manufacturer Radical Sportscars has smashed the Nürburgring production car lap record, with driver Michael Vergers posting a committed 6m48s lap time. The road-legal SR8LM smashed the previous record, also held by Radical since 2005, by an incredible eight seconds. All this, less than 24 hours after the car was driven from England to Germany for the record.
German motoring magazine Sport Auto oversaw the attempt, with the UK's evo magazine confirming the time, which will be officially finalised tomorrow (Thursday).
Conditions for the record were perfect, with clear skies and temperatures in the high 20s. Vergers initially battled with the Nordschleife's fearsome kerbs, jumps and bumps, but soon found the ideal setup, inspiring confidence to push harder.
"The car was great, I could push really hard and it felt clearly faster than the previous SR8 in 2005," said Vergers. "It's fantastic that we've beaten the record; hopefully I'll get an opportunity to return with Radical in the future."
Radical co-founder Mick Hyde said: "I'm obviously delighted, the record has been a real team effort headed up by Phil Abbott and Rob Wheldon. Dunlop have supplied us with brilliant, hard-wearing trackday tyres, indeed we've only used one set to both drive to the 'Ring, and set the record.
"We've proved that the SR8LM is not only the world's best trackday car, but it's also practical enough to drive to and from the circuit. It is a genuine production sportscar, with genuine performance credentials, as we've shown today."
