HyperSport track car launched

Revolution Race Cars has launched the HyperSport, a new track-only car it says will reach customers in summer 2026 for under £120,000. (revolutionracecars.com) The British company says the HyperSport weighs less than 700 kilograms dry, uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and delivers about 430 brake horsepower per tonne. Revolution says the car is built around a carbon-fiber monocoque tested to Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile standards. (revolutionracecars.com) A monocoque is the car’s main safety shell, like a rigid tub around the driver, and Revolution says this one also carries crash structures plus an IndyCar-style aeroscreen and a double halo. The company is marketing that package as a lower-cost route to prototype-style performance and protection for track-day drivers and club racers. (revolutionracecars.com) Track-day cars usually force buyers to trade off between speed, safety, and running costs. Revolution says the HyperSport is meant to sit between a grand touring car, which encloses the driver more fully, and a prototype racer, which is lighter and more aero-focused but often more expensive and more demanding to run. (revolutionracecars.com) The timing fits a company that is already trying to build its own customer-racing ladder. Revolution’s existing 500 EVO has more than 55 cars in regular operation worldwide, according to the company, and its Revolution Cup North America has a six-weekend 2026 calendar. (revolutionracecars.com 1) (revolutionracecars.com 2) RACER reported that Revolution plans classes for the HyperSport in European and North American prototype series ahead of the 2027 season. The same report said first-wave customers will be offered race packages for the final Equipe Sports Prototypes round at Portimão on October 30 to November 1, 2026. (racer.com) Revolution was founded in 2017 by Phil Abbott and James Abbott, and the company has spent the past several years selling lightweight sports racers positioned below the cost of top-tier endurance machinery. Its website now lists HyperSport build-slot reservations at £2,000 excluding value-added tax. (revolutionracecars.com 1) (revolutionracecars.com 2) The sales pitch is straightforward: keep the weight under 700 kilograms, keep the price below six figures in pounds sterling, and promise delivery from summer 2026. Whether buyers treat it as a track-day toy or the start of a one-make racing class will become clearer once those first cars reach circuits later this year. (revolutionracecars.com)
