Caterham launches limited edition Seven SuperSprint

Caterham has unveiled its new limited-edition Seven SuperSprint at this weekend’s Goodwood Revival.

Reflecting Caterham's 60th anniversary, 60 SuperSprints destined for the UK and European markets go on sale today, completing the pair of special models that have topped and tailed the anniversary year. The similarly retro Seven Sprint was launched at the same event 12 months ago, with all 60 cars sold within a week, quickly becoming the fastest selling Caterham Seven to date.

Under the bonnet is a 95bhp Caterham Works Racing-tuned, three-cylinder engine. While a unique Brooklands windscreen, quilted and stitched seats trimmed in Innes tan Scottish Muirhead leather, a wooden-rimmed sports steering wheel, and 1960s-style racing livery give it an old-school feel.

The Seven SuperSprint is available in six colours, all named after classic race circuits. They include Aintree (green with orange noseband), Hockenheim (silver with red noseband), and Imola (red with white noseband).

With 1960s race style key, Caterham has also created a single-seater option, which comes complete with a tonneau cover for drivers looking to strip out as much weight as possible.

Graham Macdonald, Caterham chief executive officer, said, ‘Motorsport and the purist thrill of driving a lightweight race car is in the Caterham Seven’s DNA and are elements that run like a thread through every car we build today, 60 years after the first Seven was made.'
