Caterham Cars has launched a CSR version of its most powerful European car – the Seven 485. The 485 CSR is positioned as the pinnacle of the EU range of Sevens, with an output of 237 ps/206 Nm in torque from its 2-litre Ford Duratec engine.

Priced at €54,995 (about RM252,000), the 485 CSR has a claimed 0 – 100 km/h time of 3.9 seconds and can push on to a top speed of 225 km/h. Weighing just 580 kgs, the 485 CSR achieves 409 ps per tonne, almost the same as a Lamborghini Huracan or a Ferrari 599!

Caterham Seven CSR

The ultimate Caterham Seven
“This is now the ultimate Caterham Seven to have if you’re outside the UK. We’ve had to trim our EU range because of the WLTP regulations but I’m delighted that we can still offer our continental European customers something that really reflects what Caterham has always been about – the thrill of driving,” said Graham Macdonald, CEO of Caterham Cars.

Adding purpose and initiative to the 485 CSR over its standard 485 brother is its pushrod inboard front suspension, its fully independent, double-wishbone rear suspension, 15-inch CSR alloy wheels, shod with Avon ZZS tyres and aero front wing guards.
