Pure lightweight , Caterham


Caterham is an english manufacturer ofsports cars. 
Their philosophy is the low weight. And their car is the Super Seven , design bought from the genius of Lotus, Colin Champman. 
Their cars can rival with almost any other higher-priced car, thanks to their unbeatable power to weight ratio. 
This is possible thanks to the elimination of anything superfluous and a high performance chassis, allowing a weight of the entire body close to 500kg. Additionally it has a perfect weight distribution (the engine is in front center position). 
They are also cars with personality, with a controversial design, but it has its charm. 
The photo is of a Super Seven R500 (250cv), capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 in about 2.8 s, with the help of high tecnology  elements such as the Launch Control. 
Then a video of one of these toys in a stage of asphalt rally
