The latest iteration is called the 620R, which replaces the Superlight R500 in the range. Designed to be the most extreme road-going Seven ever, it features a supercharged 2.0 litre Ford Duratec engine that produces 311 bhp (231 kW / 315 PS) with 296 Nm (219 lb/ft) of peak torque.
That output is delivered to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential transmission and a limited-slip differential. Combined with the Seven’s lightweight chassis, it results in stunning performance: the 620R will complete the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) sprint in just 2.79 seconds, before going on to a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
Also included in the specification are a wide-track front suspension set-up, a special airflow optimised nose cone, 13” alloy wheels with Avon ZZR tyres and a race-derived cooling package.
The motorsport theme continues in the cockpit where carbon fibre race seats, four-point harnesses and a quick-release steering wheel are all fitted as standard.
Available to order now ahead of the first deliveries later this year, the Caterham Seven 620R is priced at £49,995 fully built. A slightly less hardcore 620S version is also in the pipeline.
