Caterham Seven->ke3209
Caterham Seven is a super-lightweight sports car based on the Lotus Seven and it was unveiled back in 1973. At first, the model was offered with a Lotus Twin Cam engine, but the current models are powered by either a 1600 Ford Sigma or a 2.0-liter Caterham Powertrain (CPT) Duratec.
In base version, the engines deliver 125, 150 or 175 horsepower, while in the Superlight R600, the 2.0-liter engine delivers a total of 275 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. The R600 can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.88 seconds and can hit a top speed of 148 mph.
