The Caterham Super Seven 600 and Super Seven 2000 have just been launched in the European market. Both models are making their European debut at the Retromobile Show in Paris, France.
Sitting at the base of the range is the Super Seven 600. It is powered by a 660 cc turbocharged Suzuki engine that is good for 84 hp. This variant is related to the Seven 170 and shares the same live axle chassis design. Caterham describes the Super Seven 600 as “a car for those who want to enjoy a leisurely Sunday drive with the wind in their hair but are less focused on bhp and 0-60 times.”
By comparison, the Super Seven 2000 is driven by a 2.0-liter Duratec four-cylinder engine with 170 hp. Underpinning this model is the same de-Dion chassis as the majority of other Caterham models. The Super Seven 2000 can be equipped with a sports suspension package that includes a rear anti-roll bar, adjustable platforms, and front ventilated brake discs with four-piston calipers. Both the 600 and 2000 can be optioned with a limited-slip differential.
