Remember when The Stig raced the three stooges in Top Gear using a DIY Caterham? Too bad The Stig got flagged for a ticket. Anyway, this doesn’t have anything to do with that save for Caterham. Yesterday, Caterham announced the launch of the Seven Superlight R500 which promises more of everything - power, agility and an optional launch control for those days out in a track.
And when they mean these performance boosts, they don’t seem to hold back. The 2.0L Ford Duratec engine dishes out 263 horses pulling the 500kg-light Seven Superlight. 0-60? In just a staggering, face melting, 2.88 seconds. Now lets see Jeremy Clarkson give it the beans and watch his face get deformed all for the heck of it.
The car can be purchased now for a price £36,995 - that’s about $72876
