The Real Car
The Caterham Seven Superlight R500 is a legendary, hardcore sports car known for its extreme performance and minimalist design. With a focus on weight saving, this machine offers a brutal, pure driving experience without electronic aids or comfort.
Two iconic generations of the R500 have been built over the years: the original version with the Rover K-Series engine and the better-known, later variant with the Ford Duratec power source.
Key Specifications (Ford Duratec version, 2008)
Performance:
0-100 km/h: 2.88 seconds
Top speed: ~241 km/h (150 mph)
Power-to-weight ratio: 520 hp per tonne
Motor & Transmission:
Type: 2.0-liter atmospheric Ford Duratec four-cylinder
Power: 263 hp at 8,500 rpm
Torque: 240 Nm at 7,200 rpm
Gearbox: Manual 6-bin or optional sequential transmission
Weight & Chassis:
Weight: Only 506 kg
Chassis: S3 chassis, lighter made with exuberant use of carbon-fiber and Kevlar body parts.
The Two Generations
Feature Rover K-Series Version (Around 2000) Ford Duratec Version (From 2008)
Engine 1.8-litre Rover K-Series 2.0-litre Ford Duratec
Power ~230 hp 263 hp
Weight ~460 kg 506 kg
Character Extremely high speed (9,000 rpm), but more mechanically vulnerable. More reliable, better coupling in the middle area.
Driving Characteristic and Functions
The R500 was supplied without windscreen, heating or doors to discharge any unnecessary grams. The interior is fully bare stripped and equipped with carbon fiber Tillett bucket seats, a Stack instrument panel and keyless start button. Due to the extremely direct steering, the low center of gravity and the adjustable Bilstein silencers, the car performs on the circuit at the level of modern supercars.
The car gained worldwide fame when he was named 'Car of the Year 2008' by the TV show Top Gear after putting a stunning time on their test circuit at the time. Recently, the car has also been added to racing games such as Gran Turismo 7.
