Mark IV Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 https://www.caterhamcars.com/en/models/the-iconic-range/seven-170 The new 170 is not available in North America as per Caterham's agreement with Suzuki. 970 pounds, the lightest Seven yet!

JohnCh Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Looks like a fun car, particularly at that weight and with those tires. Side note: it's interesting Caterham is choosing to show the car on their website in what appears to be a paint-to-sample color rather than any of the options listed on the site. Is that the case, or is this an unintentional leak of paint options changing for 2022 cars? Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBDA Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 One more article: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/caterham/seven/first-drives/caterham-seven-170-r-2021-uk-review So it was developed specifically for the Japanese market. Only car I know of that does 0-60 in under 7 seconds and can get 58mpg. Oh but I guess that's Imperial gallons, so around 48mpg US. Still pretty amazing.

Vovchandr Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 So visually the only difference is front and rear fenders? That's amazing that two bolt on parts is all it takes to convert Caterham into a Kei car (other than the engine size limit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bball7754 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I thought the rear fenders looked different. They seem narrower, more Series 1/2 like. They would look good with my clamshells, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
