Caterham: Put your foot down with Dad this Father’s Day

For those really serious about their driving, the famous supercar-slaying R500 moniker is back with the arrival of the all-new Caterham Seven Superlight R500.

The latest model from the British sportscar manufacturer takes the minimalist, lightweight Seven philosophy to a new level with more power, sharper handling and for those venturing on track the option of launch control and the Caterham Motorsport engineered sequential gearbox. Continue Reading »
The new Caterham R500 - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

For those wanting an expression of British sportscar exclusivity, Caterham Cars has joined forces with RS Performance to offer the ultimate in bespoke Seven coachbuilding.

Caterham has long been the epitome of personalised motoring with almost every version of the 12,000 Sevens on the road differing from one another. The joint venture takes that famous philosophy to an altogether new level. Continue Reading »
Caterham announces new RST-V8!

“The power from the 210bhp engine is exhilarating in a car weighing just over half a ton but it’s the torque delivery that really wows. Want to overtake in sixth gear at 40mph with something like 1,500rpm indicated? No problem. This is not driving as passive experience: the aural assault is phenomenal, from the wind noise, the engine induction, the transmission tunnel by your left elbow, the exhaust by your right thigh. The air crackles and fizzes with the car’s energy” Telegraph - Full Review

“The multi-sensory experience that only comes when you drive in a completely open car like a Caterham is something to be savoured - and when possible, repeated as often as possible. Unfortunately for me, this wasn’t to happen until four years later in the winter of 2006 - the car this time? The Caterham CSR260 Superlight - the daddy of today’s Caterhams” 4Car - Full Review

“This thumper is now perched in a quite brilliant chassis. I can’t say I felt the extra rigidity through reduced body flex, but it has certainly facilitated a fine new suspension set-up. The R400 uses a new Bilstein damper and the same Avon R500 tyre, both of which work very well. The added torque really helps the chassis too. The old K-series used to operate on power alone, and this gave the front axle time to generate understeer as it waited for the bang to arrive. The Duratec’s instant torque now works through a standard limited-slip diff, allowing you to either enjoy just how neutral it is through most corners, or prod a little harder and create some neat, controllable oversteer” Autocar - Full Review

Motorsport inspired R400 unleashed by Caterham

“The steering, through the shirt-button sized wheel is pin-sharp and ultra direct, and, to adopt the well-worn Seven cliché, the car changes direction almost telepathically. The new engine also suits the Seven rather well as it offers more torque than the K-Series, making the car easier to drive without having to thrash it mercilessly although you typically find yourself wanting to do just that. 125bhp might not sound much but there is enough power in the first two gears to break traction and get tail-happy on roundabouts if you so wish, any slide quickly caught and held” MSN Cars UK - Full Review

“Shoe-horning the Sigma engine into the Seven’s chassis was no simple matter, however. It didn’t fit. At the same time as the engine programme, the new management wanted to further refine and improve the chassis’ spaceframe design, which resulted in an end to the firm’s relationship with Arch motors – whose enginers bronze welded each chassis by hand – and an increased commitment with Caged (now Steel Fabrications Ltd) which designed and constructed all the Seven’s roll bars and race cages” PistonHeads - Full Review
