Caterham Seven 170R POV Drive

Caterham Seven 170R POV Drive

Hello guys, welcome back to Car Obsession, and welcome to another POV drive. This time I have gracefully squeezed my way in to the new Caterham Seven 170R. You may think what's new about a car that has technology dating back to the 50s, but bear with me on this one.

For starters, it's the lightest car the British sportscar marque has ever produced, which is no mean feat considering your average Seven is about 500 kilos or so. The new 170 tips the scales at a featherweight 440kg, meaning you'll likely need a paperweight whenever you park the car up to make sure it doesn't blow away!

The Caterham Seven 170R is also the smallest Seven in the current range, which should come as no surprise given the fact it's the same weight as cat. This means it doesn't need a big, thirsty engine to propel it down your favourite B-Road. In fact, it's a diddy three cylinder engine lifted from a Suzuki Kei car.

More specifically, it's a 660cc turbocharged unit that produces 'only' 85hp along with 116Nm of torque.That may sound pitiful, but the 170R is still able to 60mph in 7.0 seconds, before topping out at 105mph. Here's the clinger, though, it's GREENER than a 1.5 litre Yaris hybrid, meaning you can have your fun in the knowledge you're not strangling polar bears with every smile-induced mile you cover.

A full review is coming soon, so be sure to look out for that.
