The Caterham 7 is a super-lightweight sports car s based on the Lotus Seven, a lightweight sports car sold in kit and factory-built form by Lotus Cars, from 1957 to 1972
Caterham obtained the full licence to build the Seven from Lotus, and began production in 1973, both as kits and fully built road cars. The modern Caterham Seven is based on the Series 3 Lotus Seven, though developed to the point that no part is the same as on the original Lotus. until 2000 when the SV (Series V, or Special Vehicle) chassis was released, aimed at accommodating the increasing number of prospective buyers who could not fit comfortably in the Series 3 cockpit. The SV chassis offers an extra 110 mm (4.3 in) of width across the cockpit, at a cost of 25 kg (55 lb) of extra weight, and both chassis sizes are available today in Roadsport and Superlight variants
For the 2015 model year the model naming policy was simplified with a range of numbers (160, 270, 310, 360, 420 and 620) reflecting horsepower per tonne, with R, S or R packages for either street or track use. Most versions (not the 160/165) are available on the standard S3 or on the wider SV chassis.
This Caterham SV combines the practicality of the larger chassis with the performance of the R400. Powered by a 220 bhp 1.8 litre dry sump K Series engine coupled to a high ratio 1st, 5 speed box, this beautiful SV is as capable on long touring journeys as it is lapping a circuit at high speed.
The 160 and its European market variant the 165 are the entry level models available only on the S3 chassis, doors and windscreen as standard. There is a list of optional extras such as carpets, spare wheel, weather package and heater. It is powered by a turbocharged Suzuki 660 cc kei car K6A engine producing 80 horsepower, with prices starting at £ 14,999 in semi-kit form. This model, with its skinnier tyres and Suzuki driveshafts, is actually compact enough to be classified as a kei car in Japan, except for its power which is above the 64 PS limit enforced for the class. The car's gearbox and live rear axle is also supplied by Suzuki; The car received a large amount of publicity for a low-powered entry-level model, with Suzuki even displaying it at the 2014 Frankfurt Motor Show. Production had to be adjusted upwards by 50%, with a third of the first year's production of 150 cars shipped to Japan.
