Caterham Supersport R 2013 Review

United Kindgom based Caterham has added to its iconic range of Seven-styled cars the Supersport R. As most of the standard Supersport, the new edition has many circuit-orientated performance essentials, more power for the engine, a five-speed gearbox to boost performance, interior upgrades and and weighing just 535kg.

The Supersport R comes with a 2-liter Ford Duratec engine making 180 hp and 143 lb-ft of torque to enhance its durability and performance. This new Caterham accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds. The top speed of the Supersport R is 130 mph.

Competitively priced at £24,995 (incl tax) in self-build form or £27,995 fully-built, the new model benefits particularly in mid-range ‘punch’ and features a 25% power increase on the Supersport, as well as 5bhp more than the R300 road car.
