Just like the Aston Martin One-77, the Caterham Levante – the new V8-powered lightweight car had just sold out. Dubbed as the most powerful Caterham ever, the RS Levante sold all eight of its own that are to come from limited production. And production hasn’t even commenced at that.

The Levante is set to be one of the quickest cars ever produced. It is powered by a 500 bhp supercharged 2.4L V8. That’s already supercar-spec and when you consider that the car will only weigh 520kg kerb weight, that gives the car nearly a 1000 bhp per ton.

Caterham speculates that the car will be capable of sprinting from 0 to 60 in sub-3 seconds and can go to a limited top speed of 150 mph. The car’s equipped with traction control and even a launch function. I just shiver thinking about how quick this lightweight would get off the line.

I want to see this car tested by Clarkson as I expect this car to be the real face-melter.
