Caterham UK has announced their latest model the R600. This is the quickest Caterham Seven race car ever made. With stunning performance potential and all the character of existing Caterham circuit cars, the new supercharged incarnation of the Seven will represent the top echelon of the Caterham racing spectrum in the Superlight R600 Championship from 2013.
This new raw race car is powered by a supercharged, 2-litre Ford Duratec engine, producing 275bhp. The 275bhp is directed to the rear wheels through a six-speed, sequential gearbox. The headline specification also comprises a Titan limited-slip differential and Avon radial slicks or wets, for increased traction and quicker lap times. The latest variant of the Seven can be ordered now via local brand guardian DRB-Hicom. The R600’s dedicated championship will further extend the Caterham Motorsport ‘ladder’, currently topped by the hugely successful R300 series. It will be the first Seven ever to feature forced induction technology, making it the fastest ever production Seven and a natural progression from the advances made with Caterham’s sports prototype, the SP/300.R, which uses a similar power plant.
