During the unveiling of the 2013 AeroSeven Concept Car, Tony Fernandes, Caterham ->ke1252 Group Co-Chairman, also revealed some of the company's future plans. We must admit that they sound quite promising, and it looks like the Caterham name will undergo a huge transformation in the near future. .

The company plans a big expansion, especially into the Asian market, and Fernandes confirmed there will be a new crossover->ke288 and small city cars, alongside a range of sports cars->ke506 to meet a diverse global market.

The first step in this direction was made with the AeroSeven -- a concept car that previews the company's new sports car set to be developed in cooperation with Renault Alpine. The production version will arrive in the autumn of 2014.

However, when asked when the new models will be launched, Fernandes added: "We’re focused on developing the right products; with the right retail experience, in the right markets, at the right time. The sales will then come." Well, that is rather cryptic; so, we guess we'll just have to wait...

Caterham AeroSeven Concept

The new AeroSeven Concept is the first preview of the Caterham's new sports car set to be developed in cooperation with Renault Alpine. The concept features a new design language, completely different to what we have seen on other Caterham models.

It is powered by a Ford Duratec-based engine that delivers a total of 237 horsepower and sprints the concept from 0 to 60 mph in just under four seconds. The 2.0-liter unit is mated to Caterham’s six-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels.

Production version will arrive in the autumn of 2014.
