Whilst Superlight shares the chassis and many other parts in common with Roadsport-spec cars, the specification is significantly more performance orientated. Standard equipment includes 6 speed close-ratio performance gearbox, wide-track front suspension and carbon-fibre lightweight front cycle wings. Superlight incorporates the motorsport expertise of Caterham Engineering, gained through 20 years of its industry leading one-make race championships. The Caterham 7 is among the most raced car models in the world, with 700 competitors across 11 countries. Everything Caterham has learnt about performance and safety is incorporated into the design of the Superlight. Two variants are currently offered in the range, the 150bhp Superlight model and the awesomely quick Superlight R400, with 210bhp. R400 Topping the Superlight range is the devastatingly quick R400. With a 210bhp 2 litre Duratec engine and wrapped in the lightweight frame of the standard chassis, the R400 has few peers. Indeed, many quarter-million-pound supercars would struggle to match the R400’s blistering pace on the track or down a twisty road. This 2007 model year R400 is an update on the 2002 original, much lauded by the press as the most finely honed balance of power and ability ever offered by Caterham. The latest version is based on the ‘C400’ race car used in the Caterham Superlight Challenge and Eurocup race series in 2006. In every race of 2006, the C400 has proven itself to be substantially quicker than the K-Series R400. As well as all the equipment of Superlight and R300 models, the R400 also includes ACES change up lights and limited slip differential. As with Roadsport models, Superlight and Superlight R300 models are available with SV wide-bodied chassis should you require more interior space. If you want to drive a car that delivers on-road performance, raw driving thrills and track-day ability in equal measure then the Superlight is the Caterham 7 for you.
