Revolution Race Cars combines prototype and GT thinking with new HyperSport

Revolution Race Cars has unveiled an all-new, cost-effective lightweight track car named the HyperSport, which will become available to customers around the world this summer.

The HyperSport, which sits alongside Revolution’s large 500 Evo, has been designed from scratch as a small prototype package aimed at both competitive racers and serious track-day drivers.

It weighs less than 700 kilos, is powered by a 430 bhp two-liter turbocharged engine, has been tested to FIA standards, and features an IndyCar-style aero screen. It has also been priced competitively, coming in below £120,000 (circa 165,000 USD).

“The Revolution HyperSport represents a fundamental change in how we think about race cars at this level. Until now, drivers have had to choose between cars that lack the latest performance and safety technology, or high-end prototypes that are complex and costly to operate. This car removes that compromise,” said Nigel Redwood, managing director of Revolution Race Cars.

“We have created something that delivers genuine performance in a package that is exhilarating, not intimidating. We believe this car is the foundation of an entirely new category in motorsport.

“I firmly believe HyperSport represents the beginning of an entirely new motorsport category, combining the appeal of GT and prototype racing and bringing unprecedented levels of safety to the volume end of the market, where compromises have traditionally been made on safety. We are excited to see it take shape on circuits around the world.”

The HyperSport has been developed as both a track car and a fully capable racing platform, with Revolution-promoted classes in European and North American prototype series set to launch ahead of the 2027 season.

For the first wave of customers, race packages will be available for the final round of the Equipe Sports Prototypes series in Portimão from 30 October to 1 November 2026.

“Nearly 30 years ago, I decided nobody was building the car I wanted to buy, so I made it myself,” said Phil Abbott, founder and technical director, and the visionary in the creation of Revolution Race Cars. “It’s really exciting that today we find ourselves with the right group of truly passionate racers who are ready to do it all again.

“HyperSport brings together everything we have learned from our own prototype experience but also brings in learnings from other sectors such as IndyCar and GT racing. As Revolution heads towards its tenth anniversary, it is time to throw the old rule book out the window and create something brand new.”
