2006 Caterham Superlight R400
In the tradition of designing race cars for the road this new superlight R400 takes its original design from the C400 via the rover k-series. The British sportscar maker Caterham has released its new model that can do a standing jump from 0-100kph in 3.8 seconds from its 210bhp at 7600rpm. That is equivalent to 400bhp per ton and 150 lb-ft of torque at 6300rpm kept ridgid by its substantial 14% increased torional rigidity making it corner and handle better than before. The 2.0ltr inline-4 has a top speed of 140MPH(225kph) and is housed by a new chassis from a new supplier who apply sophisticated new laser cutting and robot technology

Add a turbo and whamo.
I'm sure its heaps of fun around a track, but it just seems a bit flimsy for road use. I know in today's age they probably have been able to retain the look but beef up the chassis and safety, but it still looks pretty tiny to me.
it's like a motorbike. you get it for speed not safety.
Just make sure you dont crash it at speed.
