The Caterham Seven 485 R is an exotic, head-turning open-wheeler produced by Caterham in the UK since 2014. Its outrageous design belongs to the company's chief engineer Colin Chapman. The car is presented in a door-less, front-engine, front-wheel-drive LSD layout, powered by a potent 2.0L (122 ci) R4 Ford Duratec engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 240 Ps at 8500 Rpm, coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission. This impressive British Sportster reaches a top speed of 139Mph, running from 0-60Mph in 3 seconds. The Caterham Seven 485 R incorporates a Sport mode to its already sporting behavior, providing the car with even sharper driving characteristics and improving its peak performance overall for those risk-takers wanting to give it all on the racetrack.
This Caterham Seven 485 R includes a new-look exhaust arrangement, removing the rear-exit exhaust system, which reduces back pressure and weight. The car weighs only 1294 Lbs and features an outstanding power-to-weight ratio of 409Ps (403Bhp) / T. It includes 15-inch alloy wheels wrapped by Avon CR500 tires, supported by a Superlight suspension system, and ventilated discs/quad piston calipers brakes. The car features several carbon-fiber components such as front wings, a dashboard, sill protectors, and rear wing protectors. This iteration adds a black leather seat setup with a four-point road harness for safety. The Caterham Seven 485 R claims to be the fastest car Caterham has ever built. Its 77,223 € price nowadays is part of its magnetic appeal for motorheads. Still, the main talking point is the sense of individuality provided when you drive this modern masterpiece showing your love for racing cars to the world.
