RS Performance Caterham Seven

RS Performance Caterham Seven





















Caterham Cars has joined forces with RS Performance to offer the ultimate in bespoke Seven coachbuilding, For those wanting an expression of British sportscar exclusivity. Caterham has long been the epitome of personalised motoring with almost every version of the 12,000 Sevens on the road differing from one another. The joint venture takes that famous philosophy to an altogether new level.

RS Performance is an exclusive, niche engineering house. Born out of the passion and pedigree of its founder, Russell Savory, it will offer an everything is possible service to Caterham customers wanting cars truly built to order. Using the motorsport-honed Caterham chassis and benchmark technology as a cosmetic and engineering base, RS Performance, will turn imagination into reality, says Savory.

The heartbeat of every RS-monikered Seven will be the unique RST-V8 engine. With more than 16 years of development behind it by Russell Savory, the 40-valve, 2.4 litre engine reliably delivers an incredible 400bhp in normally aspirated mode, or over 500bhp as a supercharged varient, whilst weighing only 90kg in full running gear. The unbridled lightness of the RST-V8 matched to the already featherweight Seven chassis delivers a power-to-weight ratio of over 1000bhp per tonne more than double of a Bugatti Veyron.

With a 12 week waiting time and costing over £115,000, this supercharged engineering masterpiece boasts a modern interpretation of the Sevens classic looks with a sophisticated electronics package with traction and launch control to help get the phenomenal power to the floor. Weight reduction runs throughout the car, from the carbon fibre interior finished with Kevlar seats down to the hosing used on the cooling systems

The RS Performance badge will sit alongside the established, and soon to be expanded, Ford powered Caterham Seven range.

Caparo T1 Supers Car 2011




















Designed by a British team that brought us the McLaren F1, the Caparo T1 claims that the fastest accelerating road car in the world like the Bugatti Veyron race 0-60 km / h in about 2.5 seconds and an unbelievable 000-100 km / h, about 5 seconds. This enormous speed secure place among the fastest accelerating road legal car ever, but in the shadow of the $ 1,700,000 price tag attached to the Bugatti.
So what is it?
A comparison of this car in another vehicle, so it’s just not comparable. This car is fully justified in the super league, the Veyron supercar. For this is a car with so much energy you want and one hundred and fifty thousand pounds in two vehicle whip around the track, or travel to Germany for the famous stretch of the highway where they can reach a maximum potential of 205 km / h / 330 mph.
T1 provides two driver’s seat and weighs less than 500 kg and has a carbon fiber chassis, incredibly easy compared to an average family car. The fuel tank is large enough to do 500 miles before they need the dock, it will say if he does make much difference, but because of the size of the fuel, not economic, but the expectation is that the car character.


Reliability

The vehicle has a violent past with more PR events go drastically wrong for the automaker. Both the British TV show Top Gear Overdrive and had problems on live TV on some of them are potentially fatal.
Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear footage aired publicly humorous said. “If you try to circumvent the normal roundabout at normal speed you have a huge mistake .. If this thing goes on sale, a ditch or a country that is full Premier League footballers’


Total

Generieke offers something different T1 super car is usually seen as possibly Italian and American muscle on the other side of the vehicle, which of course some work to improve their safety record, which in turn, the customer confidence in this wonderful concept engine increase. Since its launch in 2011 the British pound lost on a train to another currency, which is considerably more expensive than when prices were announced originally.
