One year after the introduction of the limited-run
Seven Sprint, Caterham has launched yet another model meant to celebrate the
60th anniversary of the retro-flavored car.
It's called the Caterham Seven SuperSprint, and just
like the previous one, it’s offered in just 60 examples, destined for the
European and UK markets, where they can already be ordered from £ 29,995
(US$ 39,210).
Some of the technical specs that should interest
potential buyers are the 95 PS three-cylinder engine, with overhead
camshaft, radiator, electric fan, and turbo, the five-speed transmission,
limited slip differential, front disc brakes with twin piston calipers, rear
drum brakes, the race-inspired suspension with adjustable platforms, and Bilstein
shock absorbers.
The Caterham Seven SuperSprint can also be had with
single or twin seats, and with a choice of six paint schemes, each with its own
signature color, and contrasting 'noseband', which are named after some classic
race circuits such as Imola, Hockenheim, and Aintree.
Other styling features include the Brookland aero
screen, extended front cycle wings, Le Mans-style mesh grille and side intake,
polished exhaust, silver mirrors, classic taillights, non-louvered bonnet,
grey-finished chassis and suspension, full racing livery, and 14-inch cream
wheels, wrapped in Avon 155/65 tires.
Inside, it benefits from a 4-point racing harness,
wooden rimmed steering wheel, unique dashboard finishes, quilted stitched seats
trimmed in Innes Tan, Scottish Muirhead leather, push-button start, a heating
system, 12V socket, and others.
Each car gets a numbered plaque on the dashboard,
and can also be equipped with optional features such as the tonneau cover for
the two-seater (£ 330/US$ 431), stainless steel rear wing guards (£ 40/US$ 52), lowered
floors (£ 495/US$ 647), sidescreen armrests trimmed in Innes Tan, Scottish Muirhead
leather (£ 170/US$ 222), or the polished windscreen with Mohair hood and
sidescreens (£ 1995/US$ 2,608).
