Caterham Superlight and R300 Superlight - A road car yearning to be let loose on the track
The Caterham Superlight has been designed to achieve the best possible dynamic package from the already competent Caterham Roadsport. This has been achieved by reducing the weight to a bare minimum whilst packaging the car with as many performance-enhancing options as possible.
Although the car is supplied fully road legal, this unique model contains many track options. The stripped out interior with carbon fibre dashboard, Caterham four point strap & lap belt, Caterham composite race bucket seats and wind deflector in lieu of windscreen are fitted as standard.  
There are two models in the Superlight range, both offering scintillating performance for the discerning enthusiast. Both models are equipped with a long list of standard options with road options available for a more refined driving experience. The cars are differentiated by the power outputs, both cars are fitted with the versatile 1.8 K-Series engine, the Superlight R300 has 165 Bhp and the Superlight 140 Bhp. The dash to 60 mph will dispensed with in under 5 seconds in both variants.
