I love this car. Amazing how fast it is with just 80bhp.

Yeah, this car has such easy access, I might be tempted to do all my own maintenance (again) if I owned one. I have gotten a bit lazy in recent years, and now even pay for someone else to do oil changes.

That engine is so tiny!

Not bad! It does look super short tho :D

It would look even shorter if it wasn't for the oversized valve cover, intake and auxilaries like battery.

It must be the easiest car to work on :D Access is perfect.

I wonder how compact that Suuki engine looks in that long hood.

Although it does at least have turbocharger which should add some substance to the looks of otherwise tiny engine :D

@mental

this is perfect for norway, why? because we have horsepower, weight and volumetaxes for cars instead of the more logical CO2 and NOx....and then the one-time fee comes too

A Suzuki engine? Couldn't Caterham find any better alternative?

80 bhp is too weak by today's standards.. even for a 490 kg vehicle.

This Caterham could be useful for training courses only.

And I hate those cheap stamped rims.

For 20k Euros I could afford a Focus ST, which is BTW faster and way more practical.

That looks fun to drive, even with only 80 horsepower.
