2002 CATERHAM

Original James Whiting Lotus 7 Caterham Fireblade (1 of 24 made) 15k miles

The stunning performance you’d expect from a track-day car with a power to weight ratio in excess of 325bhp per tonne. This performance is derived not through adding more and more power but rather by ‘building in lightness’ weighing in at under 400kg. The Caterham FireBlade exploits the benefits of Honda’s lightweight, high-power FireBlade engine together with a special version of Caterham’s classic Seven chassis to create a car with tremendous handling but packaged into a highly cost effective vehicle.

The chassis is based on the reliable and proven technology of the live axle Seven, but with 16 detail differences, including the latest dedion type anti-dive rose-jointed front suspension geometry. Combining this with an engine that produces over 130bhp, weighs a mere 66.5kg and drives the rear wheels through an integral 6 speed sequential gearbox makes for an exciting drive. The Caterham FireBlade is aimed mainly at the track-day enthusiast and is most at home lapping the circuits of the U.K. and Europe, but it’s by no means designed exclusively for the circuit.
