Have you ever heard of a car, for every kilogram of weight that had to be one horsepower? We are not. And it is. Meet the Caterham Super 7.
Who would have thought fifty years ago that simple 45-horsepower sports car Lotus Super 7 with an aluminum cigar-like hood, the brainchild of Innovators "Formula 1" Colin Chapman, will be the starting wheelbarrow for endless upgrades, and his descendants through the decades will beat all records of the circle on all racing UK tracks? But it happened. However, not once, but after that the car license acquired company Caterham.
Then the Super 7 started to leave the people in the large packaging: unassembled vehicle was placed in six crates, including instructions. Simplicity of design allows the car to be like, regardless of the type of engine - each new engine gave him an entirely new life. Therefore Caterham could be presented in several states of aggregation - from small-engine roadster pleasure to torpedo yaguarovskim engine V8. But there is always an attempt to give a "boat" was accompanied by the installation of more power even more impressive motor and a gasoline tank commensurate him, the severity of which immediately negate the advantage in horsepower.
The solution was found when Saterham technology company switched to RS Performance, specializing in the "pumping" of engines. Unique 40-valve turbo 8-cylinder capacity of 2, 4 l, very light and compact, all outputs 500 hp. s., and at the same weight of the car - in the range of 520 kg. And this is the easiest chance of those that gives us a modern superkarostroenie, change the first hundred in just 3 seconds.
