The innovative Revolution A‑One just got faster, thanks to supercharging (and it wasn’t exactly slow before). JamesTaylorEVO samples the 500SC in its natural habitat – a race, with an old friend as teammate - RevolutionRace1
Which, in a lay-down driving position, feels very low indeed. Your view ahead is expansive and unobstructed by the ‘double halo’ safety structure, considered a first by Revolution and exceeding FIA safety standards. Your hands meet a carbonfibre steering wheel embedded with a digital display and studded with switches, including twist dials for traction control level, throttle map and power steering weight – weightier for feel, lighter to stave off fatigue.
Not least because the supercharger makes so much torque available from such low revs. The lack of lag makes it feel almost like a big naturally aspirated motor, except with buckets of torque it’s very easy to run into the red line if you’re not careful. You need to keep half an eye on the shift lights on the steering wheel and the rest of your widening pupils on the next, rapidly approaching braking point.
An ordinary track test might end here, but the most appropriate way to assess a racing car is to do it in its natural environment: a race. So that’s what we’re about to do.
