Brand new car apparently.
It some ways it's good news. there was plenty of chat that Tony F was going to going to get out of F1, he's more into QPR now, but I guess this means that he's intent on developing the Caterham brand.
I assume, the seven will still be assembled in Dartford but there's talk of them moving to Leafield.

All the design for the joint venture from the Caterham side will be done from our base in Norfolk. Good news for jobs in the area
