I am excited to see the latest version of the SR3! The new SR3XXR looks to have some great upgrades:
- Improved brakes
- New generation RPE Hayabusa based engine with reliability and performance improvements
- New Life Racing Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
- New light weight wheel design to reduce un-sprung weight
- New Electronic Drive-by-Wire throttle
- Improved aerodynamics.

Looks great (except for the halo, which is probably contentious) . Love the SR10 side pods and LMP fin.
I guess I know what my SR8 will look like when it gets re-bodied 😉
@mark44, The halo is optional so you can get one without it. 🙂
What are your Rebody plans? Sound interesting...
Hi Charlie,
Halo optional . Noted 😉
TBH the new body plans are not imminent, as fortunately my car was re-bodied prior to purchase in 2019 and is still in excellent condition.
I did however contact the factory regarding compatibility of SR3RSX body panels on a gen 2 SR8. After discussing with one of the tech's it turns out this is theoretically possible on a gen2 SR8 (but not a gen3) as the chassis and underpinnings are mechanically the same on a gen3 SR3 RX - which of course can be re-bodied to RSX spec. I think at the time it was about £14K for all the panels, electrics and sundries.
I personally think the SR3RSX/XX and now XXR is far and away Radicals best looking car and for that reason plan to re-body with these items when the time comes. And no, I wont try and enter the SR3 cup in it 😆
Those new sidepods look awesome. I debated with myself for a while if I should build a sharkfin into my sr3 re-body when molding the new carbon parts, i ended up no doing- it but after seeing it on the newSR3XXR I think that Id made a mistake leaving it off. I cant wait to see one of those in person.
It is a lovely car! Makes my low hoop RS-bodied SR8 look like a moving museum.
