Manufacturer Press Release
|
In a perfect example of automotive alchemy, Caterham Cars from the UK is set to deliver all the driving excitement associated with its stripped-out Superlight versions to the range-topping Caterham CSR 260 model, to create the brand new Caterham CSR 260 Superlight.
Aimed at the enthusiast, the 2.3-liter Cosworth-powered road legal Caterham CSR 260 Superlight brings all the performance credentials associated with its stablemate, like a supercar-humbling 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds and a license-losing top speed of 155 mph, yet swaps the windscreen, carpet, heater and weather gear for a limited slip differential and a quicker steering rack.
Decisively, it also premiers ¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¡Ë¢çEcDynamic Suspensions¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec? dampers manufactured by MTCe as original equipment for an undiluted performance driving experience.
The result is a breath-taking Caterham experience that blends no frills road legal agility with devastating track capability.
Fifty-five lbs lighter than the standard CSR 260, this model variant also adds distinctive Superlight styling to the exterior, including a wind deflector, a carbon-fiber dashboard and wings, a black powder coated cockpit, quick release MOMO steering wheel and ¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¡Ë¢çEcblack pack¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec? that disguises otherwise aluminum detailing.
A natural extension of the CSR range, this Superlight model delivers all the thrills of frantic acceleration, pin-sharp steering, high revving eager performance mated to a close ratio six speed box, in a sportscar that is perfectly balanced to focus the driver solely on driving and smiling.
With a power-to-weight ratio of 460 bhp per tone, the Caterham CSR 260 Superlight finds itself in similar company to the Porsche Carrera GT or the Ferrari F430.
In a now customary move, Caterham has developed an options list that highlights the cost alongside the weight of items such as windscreen, heater, weather gear, dry sump, track day roll-over bar and fire extinguisher.
Caterham is taking orders now with the first cars delivered in August.
