its going to be hard to beat the simple 7 they have out now....

This looks like the Levante version they were doing with a small bike based V8 and sequential box. I think its a limited edition model for ultra hardcore fans, using lots of carbon and race spec components. I thnk th rice was well over £100k and only a handful(10?) were to be built. Apparently its almost undriveable on the road due to the clutch and box set up, as well and the power delivery.

the engine used is a v8 made from two busa top ends (similar to the v8 atom)
the clutch is actually a little hand toggle switch.

I'm amazed by how many Caterhams I see on the streets of London. These things are so awesome and in all my life in the states I think I saw 1 total. This new one looks pretty freaking sweet too.
