Weighing
just 470 kg, the lightweight R500 packs a 530bhp per tonne punch
from the specially bored 1998cc Rover K Series engine. Impressive
figures but the real clout comes from the 190lb ft of torque
that kicks in at less than 4,000 revs.
The Spartan cabin of the Caterham R500 is dressed with lightweight
carbon-fibre trim, carbon-kevlar race seats and the classic
Superlight Stack speedometer. New lightweight 13-inch eight-spoke
wheels shod with Avon CR500 tyres help convert the raw power
into road performance, whilst the AP Racing brakes have been
fine-tuned at endurance events at Nurburgring and in the USA.
