This keenly anticipated new model uses the Seven&#8217;s classic formula of motorsport technology and minimalism to deliver a car weighing just 525kg, capable of effortlessly sprinting out of the blocks to 60mph in 3.8 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The heart of the Seven is the new Cosworth-developed 2.0-litre powerplant that is mated, for the first time, to the legendary de Dion chassis.<\/p>\n<p>Delivering an explosive 210bhp at 7600rpm &#8211; equivalent to a massive 400bhp per tonne &#8211; and 150lbft of torque at 6300 rpm, the engine embodies Cosworth&#8217;s vast expertise in performance engine development. With its near-telepathic steering, muscular power delivery, and epic cornering ability, the R400 is a superlative car for the keen driver.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting purposefully on bespoke Avon CR500 tyres and 15&#8243; wheels, the new model is also fitted as standard with dry sump, limited slip differential, carbon fibre front wings, composite bucket race seats, four-point harness and a composite wind deflector in lieu of a windscreen.<\/p>\n<p>The car is the first new model from Caterham following the introduction of state of the art chassis construction techniques, which have resulted in a substantial 14% increase in torsional rigidity. The increased stiffness translates to even greater real-world cornering performance and handling feel than before. This huge leap forward for Caterham has been unlocked through a switch to a new chassis supplier, Caged, who have invested heavily in sophisticated laser cutting and robot welding technology.<\/p>\n<p>The new Superlight R400 is the successor to the hugely popular Rover K-Series engined R400, a car that not only enjoyed great success on the road, but also excelled on the circuit through Caterham\u2019s R400 and Eurocup race series.<\/p>\n<p>Derived from the C400 race car, which will be setting alight the Caterham Superlight Challenge grids in 2006, the new model continues Caterhams&#8217; long admired tradition of developing &#8221;a race car for the road&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Such is the demand for the new R400 that Caterham has been taking orders for several months despite not having announced specification or pricing.<\/p>\n<p>Caterham is pleased to be able to offer the new 2006 car at a lower price than the outgoing R400, despite the gains in performance. This supercar-beating Seven available in component form, for those wishing to self-build, for 26,995 GBP or fully built at the firm&#8217;s Dartford factory for 29,495 GBP.<\/p>\n<p>Story by Caterham Cars<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2006_Caterham_SevenSuperlightR4001.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2006_Caterham_SevenSuperlightR4001.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"2006 Caterham Seven Superlight R400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2006_Caterham_SevenSuperlightR4001.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2006_Caterham_SevenSuperlightR4001-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2006_Caterham_SevenSuperlightR4001-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2006_Caterham_SevenSuperlightR4001-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2006_Caterham_SevenSuperlightR4001-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<h3>In Detail<\/h3>\n<table class=\"cardetails\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">type<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Series Production Car<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">built at<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Dartford, Kent, England<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">price $<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">$ \u00a328,995<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"boldlabel\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">engine<\/td>\n<td class=\"boldvalue\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Duratec Inline-4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">position<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Front Longitudinal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">aspiration<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Natural<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">block material<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Aluminum Block &amp;
