Retrotastic Caterham Seven Sprint Sells Out In One Week

The limited-run Caterham Seven Sprint has been completely sold out just one week after it was revealed online.

The model was created to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Seven sports car and was only available in the United Kingdom and select European markets, with just 60 of them destined for the production line.

Evidently, the £27,995 ($37,000) price tag didn’t dissuade customers from ordering the Sprint which is only powered by a tiny 660 cc Suzuki engine.

In total, that powertrain delivers 80 hp. While that’s nothing for a modern day sports car, the Seven Sprint is exceptionally light and therefore capable of accelerating from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a respectable 6.9 seconds.

Beyond its powertrain, the special edition model is unique as it takes design inspiration from an early 1960’s Seven variant which never reached the market. Consequently, it is available in six retro colors and includes a polished exhaust silence, cream colored wheels, polished chrome hubcaps and individual circular taillights.

Inside, the car includes a three-spoke steering wheel with a wooden rim, a red dash and red leather seats.
