Some news from Caterham - I like the concept and look forward to hearing about how this drives.

Suzuki power for entry level Caterham

Thanks Mr M, interesting article. With such a light car it would probably get really good mileage- if you could resist spinning the turbo up, with big bootfuls of throttle! joy Gerry.

I have no inside information, but it looks very much like a derivative of the 657cc, 3 cyl, fitted to the Suzuki Cappucino sports car.
The engine is an absolute cracker, beautifully made and makes a lovely sound. The quality of machining and finishing was more akin to a bike engine (i.e lovely); though the engine was designed for, and started life in, Japanese home market "K cars"

I am slightly confused as to why Caterham are going this route though, as the Sigma engine in the current entry level cars suits the Seven beautifully.

Can't wait for my new demo!!

Oh...did I forget to mention we've just been appointed the Caterham dealers for Scotland?

All will be made official in the coming days.

Interesting Gerry. I wonder what the Suzuki rear axle set up is like?

I've been working on it for a couple of years now but it took a change of management at Caterham to facilitate the deal.

I'm not quite at the official announcement stage as we still have a few things to put in place......our first car being one of them!

Here it is, all but finished now I believe!
