Great video! But can you clarify where the side straps mount to the car itself?

Damm that looks sexy. I love green💚

Is SV and CSR the same chassis?

Hello Callum ! First of all , happy new year 🎉 A lot of 7 's aventures 🍀😇 Could you tel me about the differencies in between the vinil and mohair version ? I yould like to get one for my Cat S3 170S 😜 🙏🍀😇

Is that a RBTB I hear on that CSR?😊😊

That diff whine which is right on the 60MPH or 100KPH would drive me insane. I'm glad my elan does not sound like that.

harder to get off the line and then spanked the porka!

Great to have a considered comparison in the real world between the models rather than track drifting hyperbole-

Really want a duratec to chuck in my replica hehe

Very cool video. So somehow I have twin CSR 420Rs and they are relentlessly incredible. Both with Sadevs, both incredible to drive. More power and oomph than I will ever need.

How about comparisons that involved corners? Off the mark acceleration is not particularly interesting.

Quoting BHP per tonne figures without a driver, is a bit misleading, especially with light cars. add 80 to 100 kg for a driver, and your BHP/TON plummets. The heavier the car, the less difference it makes.

Is that a phone in your pocket or do you just get really excited by Caterhams?

BHP is vanity, BHP per tonne is sanity.

One of those 40th Anniversary Ruby Red K series cars was the first Caterham I ever went in (age 12), and if left a marked impression on me thats followed me for life. Owned lots of sports cars, driven a few 7s but not owned one - I will, one day!

Looking forward to seeing a 420R. Also the difference between a 420R S3 and SV chassis if possible? I am currently building a 420R SV Kit 🏎️

I would love to see you pit an old BMW e30 M50 turbo with a manual 5 speed and LSD against whatever you've got. It should put out at least 400bhp at the wheels to give a fair representation of the sleeper you see at the traffic lights.

How defrosting of the windshield works on these cars?

Great vid. 310r vs 360r!

1.8K series supersport please

I’d love to see R500 K and D!

Nah dont mock him for his reeding glasses. My mom also forgets it when she is driving

Cornering?

The method of jacking the front and rear is only applicable to the S3/SV DeDion chassis. The CSR is not jacked this way as it does not have a DeDion or the cross-section at the front.You have my CSR200 for sale the time of writing (CSR200 FJ55VUN) which I owned from 2009-2021.

Comparing similar power:weight cars that have the 5-speed g'box versus the 6-speed would be interesting. (On same wheels + tyres)

Please do a 160!

You're nailing these videos, T7! Even found a home for farmyard animals... what next?! Happy Christmas to you all, see you in 2025.

Great video. I really enjoyed that. I’ve driven that actual 310R when Caterham had it as a demo. It’s a brilliant car.

Great video, I agree some 0-60 times would be great. Also some Duratec action, since I'm building a 2.5L Locost.

Great video. Nice editing Mark… And some VFX too! 👍🏼😂

Its great to see real cars being tested and how driver input effects performance so much. If you had swapped cars I do feel the results would have changed? There is another very popular youtube channel that puts mainly super cars up against each other. 99% of the time they are all automatic so almost anyone can set the same "drag race" times. You could swap the drivers from car to car and the car will set the same time with almost zero driver skill ( or not that is clearly apparent when they are faced with a manual gear box ) in the outcome. A decent spec Caterham/Lotus 7 is about as quick as anything on offer from even the top Super car manufactures if you were to throw in a a few chicanes and a 180 at the end back to the start line. One of my toys is a 1971 Lotus 7 with an F2 Cosworth BDG 4 speed Escort G /box and a Morris rear axle. So pretty basic even so on the twisty bits its as fast as most 500+hp super cars....and more fun for sure. Great video keep them coming but a few Hay bails and Orange cones will add a bit more interest if you are to test Caterhams against other car makers.

Including some timed 0-60 or 0-100 would also be an interesting comparison of the 7’s coming up

Brilliant Episode 👏 👏 Wishing you all a very happy Christmas. Hope to come over and see you guys in 2025😊

Great video here. Really enjoyed it and would love to see some comparisons with other equally speedy motors... Maybe a 420R vs a Focus RS

Let's get the 620S vs 620R with the S being driven by a racing driver...

Great series… looking forward to following

R300k vs 310R 😊

How about testing the R500 Duratec against a 620R..... 🤔

K series 1.8 (non vvc) Supersport 145 HP pls

I have a Westfield SE Silvertop 1.8 5 speed, full race speck which is a rocket! Love those little cars!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Is the wing arm made of tube or solid steel?

it drives like no other car but you have to drive it like no other car also. My first time on track i realised that, if you want to go fast you have to turn, let it slide in, slightly correct the trajectory and the car just goes, if you do it nicely it rotates in its own axis and points where you want to, if not it just oversteers and you are out.

Well driven Sir 🎉🎉

Would love to make a visit to you guys. Planning on buying a 7 in roughly a year and a half. What can I expect to get (if anything!) for a budget of roughly 13k I'm looking at a k series I imagine but struggling to get my head around the range!

Have owned a fair few Caterhams (6 at last count) and totally agree with what Ben is saying,it really is horses for courses. Bought my Csr (260) after owning an R500 and it felt so refined etc. After a while it almost felt too refined. I now have a 620 r different animal altogether. Whatever floats your boat so to speak they are all great cars ,altnough some are a tad underpowered .
