I approached the Caterham expecting to be impressed – but not this much. While the performance is similar to a superbike, the sensation is something entirely different – the incredibly low seating position, immense torque and lack of any kind of driver aid all contributing to a raw, mechanical driving sensation.

...what you are getting is a no-compromise track car with outstanding speed and agility. This is the purest road-going track toy that you can buy. Just having a taste of what a Caterham Seven can do will get you hooked on these cars.
