Caterham 360R SV

The 360R is a model which effectively replaced Caterham’s Supersport R, and Superlight R300 model before that.

The 360 represents Caterham’s entry point to the 2.0L Ford Duratec engine, producing 180bhp. The power delivered by this engine is very smooth and linear, with considerably more lower and mid-range torque than the 1.6 Sigma engines below it in Caterham’s range. Unlike its bigger brothers, however, the 360 is not a very cammy engine, with max performance all dealt with below 7000rpm.

The “R” package attached to this car means the car comes complete with Caterham’s slightly more focused range of options. A light-weight flywheel and limited slip differential come as standard, which between them considerably alter the car’s feel, making it livelier, more responsive under throttle, and a little more tail-end happy.

Combined with the SV chassis for extra space and all of Caterham’s road-going amenities, this 360R offers a comfortable and usable ownership experience and is excellently suited to longer distances, as well as being brilliant on track.
