Caterham Supersport, a sports DIY

The British car manufacturer Caterham presented Supersport sports car based on the sixties and seventies that created by Colin Chapman, who designed the Lotus Seven. And so, two months after the launch of SP/300. R at the Autosport International Show, so here is the road car that comes from competition, which retains many of its technical characteristics to start from the springs and shock absorbers of the suspension, and then continue with the limited slip differential, with the bars anti-roll seats and carbon fiber.

The vehicle is very lightweight: his 520 kg and his Ford Sigma 1.6-liter engine with 140 hp provide substantial acceleration for a car of this displacement, since it is capable of reaching 100 km / h starting from acceleration in just 5 seconds. The maximum speed of just over 190 km / h suggests buying the windscreen, which the manufacturer can provide only as an option despite the price you get to touch the 23,000 pounds, equivalent to approximately 25,800 Euro.

But here comes the fun part: the true fans will simply buy the kit and become a builder and do-it-yourself assembly laCaterham Supersport directly into your garden or in the garage. In this case, the savings are insured as it is rather a check for 19,995 pounds, equivalent to 22,500 euros, with some work tools included.

The director of Caterham, Mark Edwards, said the Supersport is identified perfectly in the tradition of the House, despite the performances are not the best ever obtained.
