If you are in the UK walking near a race course and suddenly hear the stirring of giant bee’s do not be afraid. It just means that sales for the new Caterham Seven Superlight R500 are doing well and some UK racers are receiving a temporary facelift and a lot of thrills.
Caterham has upped the ante with their latest Seven series that builds off the earliest racing roadsters influence, but with more grunt, punch and far lighter materials. With the Superlight R500 they have added even more carbon fiber and Kevlar to shave off even more weight from the car. For the 2.0 Ford Durtec engine and its 263 horses and 177 ft lbs of torque that results in a 0-60 time of 2.88 seconds. With a horsepower to weight ratio of 520-hp to 1 (coming in at 516kg, or 1,116-lbs) the new Seven is the purpose driven open-cockpit track dragon many racers have been waiting for.
