KIT / FACTORY

It’s said that the best things come in small packages.

A sentiment our diminutive Seven has continued to affirm for over 60 years. But even in the world of the Seven, things don’t come smaller than the 170. Welcome to the smallest and lightest production car we’ve ever built.

Equipped with Suzuki’s latest 3 cylinder turbo charged engine, the 84bhp unit powers the 440kg Seven 170 to 62mph in just 6.9 seconds. With a power-to-weight ratio in excess of 170bhp-per-tonne (specification dependent), in a package boasting all the poise and agility you’d expect from a Caterham, we know you’ll love it as much as we do. Small is indeed mighty.

A car you'll feel connected with even when travelling in a straight line.

The Caterham 170 S is a car you’ll feel connected with even when travelling in a straight line. Unlike other cars which now use technology to minimise driver fatigue and input, the Caterham 170S is all about keeping you busy – whether it’s flicking a switch for the wipers, pulling a plunger for the header – or simply keeping control of its super-quick steering rack.

Car Magazine

It’s very hard not to have fun in this thing. In fact, it may be impossible.

If you do like being in control of a car, the 170R couldn’t give you a purer experience. It’s the bottom rung of the accessible performance ladder, so regardless of your driving ability, it’s very hard not to have fun in this thing. In fact, it may be impossible.

Top Gear

The fun of a 170, for me, comes with knowing that it doesn’t take much to get the car rolling and keep it fizzing along.

I like a narrow-bodied Seven – it feels in keeping with the lightweighting ethos. An optional lowered floor makes the driving position low-slung and snug in the composite seats, and with harnesses too it feels much more serious from inside than the power output and wheel size would have you believe.
