Caterham was already known in the world of lightweight and fast vehicles. It used the same recipe prescribed by the famous Colin Chapman back in the late 50s when it made the famous Lotus Seven but added some modern touches to the car. The result was a nimble two-seater with go-kart handling and supersport car 0 to 60 mph (0-97 kph) time. Last but not least, these were very affordable compared to their performance.
