Awesome Caterham

Caterham celebrates the Lotus Seven’s 60th anniversary with a limited edition retro variant of the 80hp Seven 160. The Seven Sprint features ’60s details such as the retro rear lights, wood-rimmed steering wheel, gray chassis, cream wheels and more..

Based on a design by LEGO Ideas member Carl Greatrix, LEGO set #21307  lets you assemble an 11″x 5″x 3″ model of the fastest Seven to date. Made of 771 bricks, the model has a removable nose cone, engine cover and engine. Drops 10/1/16 for $80.

Caterham’s latest Seven gets all the lightweight and handling benefits of its brethren, but this one gets a bonus 20 horses over the Seven 270, bringing its total to about 155hp. Weighing in at about 1200lb, it’s bound to offer plenty of of thrills, with 0-60 times sub 5 seconds.

The new Seven models bookend the entry level 160 and the lightning quick 620R. There’s the 135bhp 270 (shown in white), the 180bhp 360 (green) and the 210bhp 420. All Seven models have optional comfort and track add-ons.

The car for jaded purists. The Caterham Seven 620 R weighs just 1200lb, but its supercharged 2L Ford Duratec engine produces up to 310hp and 219lbft of torque, propelling it from full stop to 60mph in just 2.8s. In first gear.

One of the launch models from Caterham’s new bike company, the Brutus 750 is a versatile motorcycle, equally at home on and off road. It can even be easily converted into a snowmobile. It has a 750cc engine, CVT and 26″ wheels.

Caterham’s F1 team took part in designing the future of the Seven series. The AeroSeven Concept has a wide and low carbon fiber body, a 237hp 2L Ford Duratec engine, traction and launch control and an F1-style steering wheel.

LEGO enthusiast Sheepo made an extremely detailed 1:7 scale remote-controlled replica of the Caterham 7, which itself is a kit car.  It has working suspensions, steering, gearbox and even disc brakes. More on Sheepo’s site.

With a curb weight of just about 1200 pounds, and a 305hp supercharged Ford Duratec 2.0L engine, it’s no wonder this British racer can hit 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, and a top speed of 180mph.
