The power source of the Caterham Super Seven CSR is the new
Cosworth developed 2.3-litre Ford Duratec engine. The all-alloy,
four-cylinder twin
cam unit produces either 200bhp (in the Super Seven CSR 200)
or 260bhp in the CSR 260. Significantly, the EU4 approved 200bhp
engine, will provide a major boost to Caterhams already
strong export market, as well as forming the cornerstone of
its domestic high performance sales.
The CSR is wider than the Caterham Superlight's and has also
had the bulk of the suspension components moved inside the body
work.
