Caterham is celebrating 20 years of its famous CSR nameplate with a new limited-edition version of its lightweight Seven.
Just 20 examples of the CSR Twenty will be produced for the UK, with each accompanied by a £79,995 price tag.
The special-edition model is underpinned by Caterham’s ‘most compliant chassis’ with inboard front and full independent rear suspension, with both combining to create a car which is both great to drive but easy enough to prove reasonably comfortable on the road.
Bob Laishley, Caterham Cars CEO, said: “This is without doubt the most premium Seven we’ve ever built. The interior of the car is a level up from what we’ve produced before thanks to an array of high-quality materials used throughout.
“When you combine this with the exhilarating and engaging handling of our CSR chassis, this really is a Caterham built for longer distance road trips.
Caterham says that the CSR Twenty has been given ‘the most premium finish ever seen on a Seven’, with a satin carbon dashboard, CSR Twenty edition dials and Alcantara-finished gearstick and handbrake gaiters. The seats are trimmed in leather, too, with Alcantara inserts and CSR Twenty logos finishing the look.
All cars come with a numbered plaque – showcasing the car’s place in the build line – which is located between the seats on the rear interior panel. On the exterior, you’ll find a nose cone finished in the same style as Caterham’s range-topping 620, LED front and rear lights and a two-tone Union Flag grille – the first time one has ever appeared on a UK Caterham.
