In creating the Caterham RS V8 Levante Caterham Cars worked
with RS Performance to offer the ultimate Seven derived sports
car.
RS Performance is an exclusive, niche engineering house. They
offer an 'everything is possible' service to Caterham customers
wanting cars built to order.
Powering the Caterham RS V8 Levante is a supercharged 500+ bhp
2.4 litre V8 engine, housed in a modified version of the lightweight
Caterham SV chassis. With the car weighing just over 500 kgs
this engine makes for a 1000bhp-per-tonne ratio.
The Caterham RS V8 Levante is the most powerful production Caterham
ever. Only eight cars were produced, each was hand-built by
Hertfordshire-based RS Performance in association with Caterham
Cars.
