Where does a Caterham 270 sit on our board?
Today we're looking at the Caterham 270 model, and where it fits on our board. We asked a special guest along to review some of the 270's predecessors. We also take a quick look at geometry, and how small changes can really affect how a Caterham feels on the road....
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...

We took a 1.6L Sigma-engined Caterham out for a spin, and asked "could this be the best Caterham?" It's plenty powerful and fast enough for road driving, with a 0-60 time of only 4.8 seconds! The Sigma engine is lighter than the more powerful Duratec, giving these...
What’s it like to race a Caterham?
The only safe way to truly realise just how capable the little Caterham is, is to take it on track. We highly recommend it to all of our customers! The next step is to go racing. As guests of the Caterham Graduates Racing Club at their October 2024 Donington Park...
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?
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...
