Don't laugh, but I've bought one, it's slow! I love it, but I noticed at the Donnington gathering recently there is a 95bhp version (Super sport?) does anybody know what's involved in upping the 80BHP version?

PS, it refuses to go below 40 mpg no matter how much I rev the little 3 cylinder "beast".

I swapped from my 210 bhp duratec to a 160s and it’s 99% as much fun, just in different ways

The 170 is a different engine, it’s the f6a as opposed to the k6a, and simple answer is no one seems to know what Caterham did to it to get the extra power

Ah I didn't know it was a different engine.

Pleased to read the fun factor isn't massively diluted from its more powerful stablemates.
