The new model will also benefit from the introduction of a fully independent rear, and inboard F1-style, front suspension plus major aerodynamic and chassis enhancements.<\/p>\n<p>Internally, the famous two-seater will boast the most dramatic overhaul of its dashboard and trim in the model\u0019s entire 48-year history.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Engine<\/i><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Over the last 12 months, Cosworth Racing and Caterham Cars have worked closely to develop the Ford Duratec 2.3-litre all-alloy, four-cylinder twin cam engine for use in the all new Seven sportscar.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration renews the Ford \/ Cosworth \/ Caterham relationship that proved so fruitful when the marque used the Cosworth-developed BD range of Ford engines in the 1980s. The Cosworth name was first seen in a Seven in1961.<\/p>\n<p>The all-alloy, four-cylinder twin cam unit will produce either 200bhp or 260bhp and unrivalled levels of reliability and performance. Significantly, the EU4 approved 200bhp engine, will provide a major boost to Caterham\u0019s already strong export market, as well as forming the cornerstone of its domestic high performance sales.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Suspension<\/i><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>After nearly twenty years using the De Dion rear suspension, a unit that was originally fitted to the Seven in 1985 but continually developed over time, Caterham sought the expertise and credibility of a world leader.<\/p>\n<p>Having recently been engaged on the new Ford GT and Aston Martin DB9, Multimatic Technical Centre Europe, a division of Multimatic Inc., began work with Caterham on developing the CSRs suspension configuration eighteen months ago.<\/p>\n<p>The new model will benefit from a racetrack honed double wishbone fully independent rear suspension to increase grip and adjustability. At the front, an F1-style push-rod operated inboard unit will improve the aerodynamic performance with an 50mm increase in the front wheel track aiding high-speed cornering for those venturing on circuit.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Chassis<\/i><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The new suspension system, which required adjustments to the chassis, paved the way for Caterham to revise the Sevens tubular spaceframe. The resulting overhaul sees a 25 percent increase in torsional stiffness.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Interior<\/i><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Internally, the new Seven CSR is barely recognisable from previous models. To improve driver ergonomics, the traditional flat mounted toggle switchgear has been completely dispensed with, replaced by a driver focused curved fascia wrapped around an exposed steel tubular framework. Alloy style dials, gear-knob, handbrake and a bespoke steering wheel complete the stylish new interior, with room created for storage space in the central console and in the armrest.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Aerodynamics<\/i><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Aerodynamic improvements have majored on the face of the famous Seven. The introduction of re-profiled cycle wings, which are mounted even closer to the tyre to cut drag, and a new larger nose cone complete with a floor mounted chin, have combined to reduce the front end lift by 50 percent. The net effect for the driver is a major decrease in high-speed understeer.<\/p>\n<p>With one eye on the heat and humidity of some overseas markets, the new broader nose cone houses a larger radiator, and an underside intake and top positioned outlet duct to improve airflow management.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Wheels &amp; Tyres<\/i><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Working in conjunction with long-standing partner, Avon, the Caterham Seven CSR will squat firmly on Formula Three engineered 15-inch tyres, which measure a muscular 10 inches wide at the rear to assist traction and handling. Bespoke 15 spoke lightweight aluminium wheels will be fitted as standard.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Motorsport<\/i><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>As the world\u0019s biggest manufacturer of race cars, it&#8217;s no surprise to hear that the Seven CSR, has been developed from an intensive 18 month test programme for a new International Race Car. With an unrivalled 260 bhp engine, the latest Caterham racer will continue the firm&#8217;s long-standing and hugely successful worldwide motorsport programme. A new series for 2005 will take in six of the finest driver&#8217;s circuits on the Continent including Spa Francorchamps, Estoril and Nurburgring.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Nearn concludes: &#8221;Caterham has to remain at the pinnacle of its chosen niche &#8211; lightweight, high performance sports cars. We feel we&#8217;ve taken the next giant stride forward with the Seven CSR.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><i>Designed for Racing Built for Living<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The latest Caterham has been pounding the circuits of the UK and Europe for 18 months. As with all Caterham products, the car is designed and proven as a thoroughbred racing machine and only then, with performance and durability a given, is the road car created.<\/p>\n<p>The Caterham Seven CSR goes on sale with prices starting 27,450 GBP for the 200bhp version and from 33,950 GBP for the 260bhp.<\/p>\n<p>Story by Caterham Car Sales &amp; Coachworks Limited, edited by
