The Caterham is so fast that the British sportscar maker has been banned from contesting the Nurburgring 24 Hours.

Was he running out of gearing? The pitch seemed flat at high speeds. All three videos were great and just pissed away a half hour of my day. Thanks!

Though its not the R500 I'll be receiving my Cat this week with some luck.
On twistier tracks these cars quick *** (since 1957), top end speed and lack of aero are its weaknesses, so don't think I'll be falling for the bait on the Mexican Highways! But can't wait to see you guys at the track!

That CSR 260 only has 260 hp, for the higher speed tracks if your truly insane you opt for the Caterham RST-V8 Levante. 1150 lbs and 550 hp @ 10,000 rpm, but as decisive as you have to be with the control inputs in the 260 horse car to keep it on the track you have to have cojones the size of bowling ***** for this car!

I'd like to own 3 Caterhams, an older Zetec car with twin webbers, nothing beats the popping and farting from their exhausts, they put a smile on your face driving along that you can't wipe off. I'd also like a CSR for the technological and insane advances (though its still pretty much an un-aerodynamic brick), but no questioning what it can do on the track, and then mine, that will put a lot of track giants to shame and at the same time be a fun car for the weekends etc.
There are Caterhams for all tastes, another impressive one is a Hyabusa powered animal from Canada, check this out!!
