Radford Reborn follows Hollywood celebrity and accomplished car designer, Ant Anstead, and Formula One World Champion driver, Jenson Button, as they attempt to resurrect the legendary car design company, Radford Motors. This five-part series documents their challenging journey to successfully create the last gasoline-powered supercar for acclaimed automaker, Lotus. Watch world-class experts taking on a high-risk high-reward venture, all captured with stunning production value.

SPEEDVISION

Ant and Jenson go to the iconic Lotus headquarters to persuade the team that Radford Motors is the perfect partner to help them build their first ever coach-built supercar, on the chassis of one of Lotus' most best selling cars, 'the Exige'. The team at Radford will have to come up with something unprecedented, as their first chance to enter the supercar market.

Making the deal

The first ever Radford team meeting produces their first deadline, 'The Quail', which is the pride of Pebble Beach car week and the most prestigious car show in the world, and it's only 4 months from opening day. Is it possible to build one supercar in just four months let alone two?

Who says size doesn't matter!

Ant moves mountains in getting the Jenson's newly lengthened chassis track ready to test drive.  But Jenson has more design changes up his sleeve that will really test Ant's building skills and the Radford budget.

Testing, testing, one two three...

With both of Radford's new supercars having more power, the need to have stronger and thicker driveshafts becomes a problem for the current sub-frame which Ant soon realizes. Carbon panels arrive and cars need to be reassembled.   With these new adjustments looming will  they make the deadline for 'The Quail'?

Put it all on red and black!

With the carbon paneling nearing completion on the Gold Leaf Car and just under a month until the big reveal, the test piece of windscreen finally arrives from Croatia. Meanwhile, there are painting delays that need to be dealt with on the JPS car in order to get the 'black candy' coloring just right. With car royalty Chip Foose lending a hand,  it is a race to the finish for both cars to make it to Pebble Beach.
