OWN THE ROAD

The road can be your friend or your adversary. Some roads are benign and easy to enjoy time
with. Others make it their business to challenge you – throwing you cheeky turns, switchbacks
and gradients.
These are the roads that the Caterham driver, with their light feet and fast hands, actively seeks
out; the roads that give it all they’ve got but never quite have enough to take down the expert
pilot and the legendary Seven – a tag team made in automotive combat heaven.
Driving doesn’t have to be a fight. It’s just more fun sometimes if you get in the ring.
SEVEN485
Some cars just aren’t afraid of any road that comes into view. The Seven 485 is one of those cars.
The Seven 485 is the fastest production car we’ve ever built in Europe.
A 237ps champion ready to take on any highway one-on-one, the Seven 485 delivers huge
dollops of torque, backed up by a high-revving, dry-sumped engine that makes it a wild, but
intensely visceral ride.
This isn’t a car it’s a missile. With Wheels. And you’re in it.
Do you dare…?
SEVEN485 CSR
Europe plays host to some of the greatest driving roads in the world and the Seven 485 CSR is
the perfect car to make the most of them.
Hand-built by our skilled team in Dartford, Kent, the Seven 485 CSR pairs a 237PS engine with
inboard front suspension, fully independent rear-suspension, 15-inch wheels and wider rear tyres
making for a more relaxing ride – with the ability to thrill when the roads get twisty. A wider
chassis and slight aerodynamic tweaks make the CSR standalone from other Sevens in the
range.
Leather seats, carpeted interior panels and a carbon dashboard come as standard in this
cross-continent cruiser. Built with long-distance touring in mind, the 485 CSR is at home
everywhere from exciting mountain passes right down to gentle coastal roads.
There is no better way to experience the ultimate European road trip.
 built upon DECADES OF CRAFTSMANSHIP

In this era of automation and technology, it’s too easy to let science do everything for you. Your
car can now park itself and moves are afoot to allow it to drive you around too.
At Caterham, we hold with the theory that less is more.
Driving a Seven is all about just that – no driver aids or frills, just stripped back driving – a pure
and responsive driving experience.
Our crack team of technicians create your Seven lovingly and apply their own sense of pride
into every component they attach to the car’s iconic frame. When they’re not bolting our
British bundles of fury together, they’re hard at work theorising and ruminating on how they
can save even more weight, refine the chassis further and extract every last drop of power from
the Seven.
That’s why every car that leaves our factory carries with it the name of the technicians who
built it.

OUR PRIDE; YOUR JOY

 Ever DREAMED of becoming a racing driver?

The Caterham name has always been synonymous with motorsport and today the Seven remains
one of the most successful and popular race cars in the world. It isn’t really surprising, as when the
Seven was conceived it was always first and foremost a race car. After dominating races across
the World, by the 1960s the car was declared “too fast to race” and was subsequently banned
from competing in many established race championships. This ban effectively led to the birth of
what Caterham racing is now most famous for – incredibly competitive and closely fought one
make racing championships. Today the Seven is raced by more than a thousand competitors
globally in both Caterham’s official motorsport championships and other independent series’
who choose the Seven for it’s ability to deliver dramatic racing for all levels of racing driver.
