Carrying on with my obsession with all things Lotus 7 comes official news about the Caterham R500 Superlight.
As is Caterham’s habit, the thing will be powered by a Ford 4 cylinder engine. In this case a 263 HP 2.0L Duratec mated to either a six-speed manual or a way cool six speed sequential box. No more round section A-arms up front, now it sports aerodynamically shaped suspension members. Also, the its graced with 13 inch anthracite wheels as well as launch control. The weight is not yet specified (the last Superlight tips the scales at less than a thousand pounds). We do know the price & the zero-to-60 times:
£37,000 it’ll get you to 60 in under 3 seconds.
More pictures after the jump.
