Comparing Duratec Caterhams to a modern V8 sports car

Comparing Duratec Caterhams to a modern V8 sports car

When we looked at a 1.6 Sigma engined Caterham versus a Porsche Boxster, it did pretty well even in a straight line. But what happens if we take an entry level Duratec car — a 360 — and pit it against a £140,000 Mercedes AMG GT with a 4.0L V8? Modern sports cars...

My Caterham makes odd noises, are they normal?

A Caterham is not at all like your every day 'tin top' runabout. There's more or less no sound proofing, so you're sat in a small tin with an engine and gearbox closer to you than in any other car. This means you're a lot closer to the action — and a lot more...

Is the CSR the best Caterham for the road?

Is the CSR the best Caterham for the road?

With its modernised interior, inboard pushrod front suspension, independent rear suspension and a stonking Cosworth Duratec engine, could the immensely powerful CSR 260 be the ultimate road going Caterham? We put a tame former racing driver in one and left him to...

How to fit a Caterham aeroscreen for quick and easy future swaps

Aeroscreens completely change the feel of a Caterham. If you're looking at doing track days, they're also quite useful for making your car more aerodynamic (not a word you'd often use in the same sentence as 'Caterham' 🤣) and for saving your windscreen from costly...
