Model Line-up

Classic
The old school Caterham that used to have a live rear axle that is generally believed to have a poorer handling on rough roads. Now only available with the de dion axle. Engine: 1.4-litre (105 bhp).

Roadsport
An updated rear suspension with a deDion axle and optional Watts linkage, paired with an adjustable anti roll bar allows for a more detailed control of the rear wheels during heavy cornering. Engines: 1.6 and 1.8-litre (115 to 160 bhp).

SV
Same construction as the Roadsport, but lengthened by 80 mm and widened by 110 mm. This results in a somewhat less cramped interior at the price of 25 kg (55 lb) extra weight. The handling penalty of the additional weight is offset by the wider stance of the front and rear wheels. Engines: 1.6 and 1.8-litre (115 to 160 bhp).

Superlight
A pure track version of the Roadsport with glass fibre nose cones, fenders and other parts replaced by carbon fibre. The windshield has been replaced with a wind deflector, making a helmet more or less mandatory while driving or traveling. Engines: 1.8-litre (160 to 230 bhp).

CSR
Introduced in late 2004, these new models are similar in size to the SV but are in fact a completely new chassis with independent rear suspension and inboard, push rod style front suspension. They use Ford Duratec engines tuned by the Cosworth company instead of the old MG Rover powerplants. Engines: 2.3-litre (200 to 260 bhp). It is expected to provide extremely high performancem with 0 - 60 Mph times of 3.1 seconds.
