NFS Goes Radical

2010 Radical SR3 RS (Shift 2: Unleashed)
Need For Speed has officially gone radical. When I say Radical, I mean they've introduced Radical into their line of cars in Shift 2: Unleashed. This Radical SR3 RS features a nerdy 1.3-liter Inline-4 engine producing 210 horsepower. But, since it's so light and nimble, 0 to 60 is done in just 3.8 seconds making this the quickest 4-cylinder car on earth. The top speed of this is about 150 MPH. Radical has been known for creating record breaking cars for the Nürburgring. In fact, this car's big brother, the SR8, set a time on the 'Ring of 6:48 making it the fastest street-legal production car on the 'Ring, right behind the race-ready Zonda R. It's nice to see a purebred racing machine hit the streets of NFS Shift. I'm surprised they aren't trying to make this into a Gran Turismo, because it looks like it's turning into that.
