e f o r e driving a Caterham Super- light R400, I had absolutely no idea how
much a bumblebee hurts when it impacts your head with a 110 m.p.h. closing velocity. Even with a crash hel
met on, one dozy insect is enough to snap your neck back sharply and clout it against the high back seat, but then I should have grown accustomed to this by now. It also happened every time I mashed the
throttle pedal of this astonishingly rapid car. The R400 has long been
the forgotten middle child of the Superlight range, offering neither the rela tive affordability of the R300 nor the ultimate headbanger appeal of the R500. You may have seen the
R400 before and wondered why it is now in the news. The casual observer could look at this car and not see anything hugely different, but a Caterham anorak would know that this gen eration R400 is massively different to its predecessor.
The introduction, in
2005 of the CSR model marked a step change in the development of the “ Seven” genre. With a beefier chassis and a better engine, the CSR260 was a more grown-up, profes sional feeling car that had exorcised many of the old model’s irritations without losing the fun factor. • The R400 is even more'
extreme, the 400 referring to the 400 b.h.p. per tonne povyer-to-weight ratio arrived at with a combina tion of a 210 b.h.p. power plant and dry weight of just 525kg.
Surely 210 b.h.p. is
small beer when it comes to sports cars though? After all, some Vauxhall Astras better this figure by a good 30 b.h.p. This gives no clue as to the con- trolled savagery of the R400, a car which will out- sprint a Porsche 911 GTS to 60 m.p.h. The R400 has provoked
a flood of preorders, Caterham fans excited by the fact that this is its first new model following the introduction of state-of- the-art chassis construc tion techniques, which have resulted in a substan-
