Caterham Supersport 135
The Supersport has always been one of Caterhams best models. The original version of the Supersport featured a 1.6l Rover K-Series engine, fitted with high lift cams, an ECU remap to produce 135bhp, along with a lightened flywheel and a shortened 3.9 ratio limited slip differential (LSD). The combined effect of these significantly improve the overall driving experience from the standard Roadsport, increasing the power output by 15-20bhp whilst also intensifying the throttle response and gear changes thanks to the lightened flywheel. The LSD adds bags to the character, promoting both under and over-steer in equal measure. The reduced final drive ratio pulls the gears closer together, aiding acceleration and in truth, far better suit the characteristics of the Caterham.
