Caterham 270R

The 1.6 Ti-VCT Sigma engine superseded the original Sigma in 2014. Offering variable cam timing these later engines produced a little extra torque and power, as well as a small additional improvement in fuel consumption. This meant that the entry level engine increased from 125bhp to 135bhp, and the uprated version of this engine increased from 140bhp to 152bhp. This soon led to the model names being changed from Roadsport and Supersport to 270 and 310. Sadly, this incredibly reliable and exciting  engine has now gone out of production and is no longer a part of the Caterham range.

This stunning, modern, 270R provides a highly refined driving experience and finish to a marque which existed for more than 60 years. The 135bhp on offer in the 270 is more than sufficient to thoroughly enjoy the experience of driving a Caterham around on the open roads or enjoying trackdays, and with the R-package edition you really get the best of Caterham’s nimble handling characteristics.

With less than 3000 miles on the clock, this is a very low mileage and stylish 270!

It is also possible to upgrade this to a 310R should you ever feel the need for a little more juice.
