More Information
Derived directly from the race car that competes in the highly-successful Caterham Supersport championship,
the road-going edition borrows all of the track version's performance essentials and then, for good measure,
is fine-tuned for the road.
Weighing just 520kg, and propelled by a Ford powerplant, the Supersport will go from 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds
and will achieve a top speed of 120mph without breaking a sweat. Equipped with a motorsport-honed
limited-slip-differential and geared with sports driving in mind, the Supersport also features uprated
springs and dampers borrowed directly from its race car cousin, stiffer anti-roll bars, a track biased dash
with an integrated change up light and an aero screen. Composite race seats and a four-point race harness
complete the track-inspired experience.
The character of the Supersport, its value and low running costs have generated a machine that will excite
sportscar fans, including those on a budget.
