Caterham 620s S3

[mike150]

After months and months of looking at various Caterhams, Westfields, Atom's and even normal cars like Audi R8's I made a decision!

A 620s, for those that don't know it's a 2.0 Duratec with a supercharger giving 310bhp with a manual box.

Options are-
Lowered floors
Heated carbon seats
Led headlights
13" wheels
Aero front wishbones
Trackday roll bar
Carbon wings
Carbon effect leather
Painted grill
Pearl paint
Twin stripes and side graphics

It's currently making its way to me on a trailer having left the south coast of England yesterday.

Class! These must be a blast to drive?

 

[roverspeed]

That is going to be fun!

620 meaing 620bhp/ton as a I recall?

One of my favourtie laps ever on top gear



And you have an extra 120bhp/ton :-D

 

[gav525]

That is class, must be bonkers to drive on the road!

Solely a road car for you or will you track it?

 

[Eamo_vxr]

That will be a hoot to drive. Is that Renault liquid yellow?

 

[big_pete]

Awesome!!! I'd say it would fairly put manners in you lol

 

[dub]

Now that would fairly get your attention. I'm sure that is a complete hoot!

Might do a trackday but it would just be to let it loose.

They are THE most fun to drive car at any price in my opinion and isn't why we all love cars?

I'd have bought an R500 but the only nice one for sale this year has been a dark green one and to me the colour is

Yes, Caterham call it detonator yellow but it's Renault liquid yellow.

Excellent choice sir, that's a lot of fun on 4 wheels.

 

[Boydie]

Epic - I would love something like this ever since I got a run in a caterham 7!

 

[veedubnoodle]

Awesome! Would love to be able to buy a Caterham in kit form someday and spend a few months building it.

That said I wouldn't say no to a pre-built one like yours. Gorgeous colour and health to steer

 

[Phil_D]

Would love a run out in one of these...Very very cool and proper fast..

 

[TSPORT]

That’s class. Deffo need a run in this.

 

[Neil_M]

That looks the nuts. I've always wanted to build one.

What are your plans for it?

 

[Dub_cub 89]

It’s like a wasp! It makes a standard sized number plate look massive too, in terms of acceleration this has to be one of the quickest motors currently on RMS?

 

[nobby]

Very nice indeed and you certainly picked something that requires driver involvement!

certainly not too many modern cars provide the 'fun' factor or 'drive' anymore.

They are THE most fun to drive car at any price in my opinion and isn't why we all love cars?

 

[gixermark]

proper toy !!! absolutely love it............

 

[Burt2000]

Absolutely mental, love it! If had the money this would be the ultimate toy

 

[redanni]

Awesome, I'd say many a summers day fun will be enjoyed in that

 

[Peadar]

My dream car. Fair play to you for having the balls.

 

[mike150]

Well, it arrived today at 3 in an enclosed trailer and it was dry so of I went, beanie hat on, heated seat on and heater on.

27miles later and my thoughts are, it's going to take some getting used to!!!! 2nd gear and the throttle is just wheel spin control
The roads need to be warmer and dryer to be confident in using 3rd and 4th gear at big speeds.

The led lights are cool

And the fiddling has begun already, polished stainless screws in place of black on the wheel

 

[gixermark]

they can be a handful on the road even in summer... and even on decent soft tyres smithers..... that blue thing i had would spin the wheels in 4th off the throttle... and that was on the softest ACB10 you can buy !!!

at least they are progressive(ish) and don't tend to snap like some road cars. the heated carbon seats must be great !

 

[mike150]

This is what's causing the problem with wheelspin..........

 

[300trophy]

Unbelievable vehicle and in the best colour a car can wear in my opinion!

Watched a YouTube video earlier of one being given death around goodwod, holy shot they are loud! Sound like a rally car
