Caterham Seven 485 SV

The Caterham Seven 485 SV is a compact sports car notable for its lightweight construction and rear-wheel-drive layout. Produced in the United Kingdom, this iconic model embodies raw motoring thrill. With its distinctive composite body over a tubular steel chassis, it tips the scales at just under 1200 lbs (544 kg), ensuring an exhilarating driver-focused experience on every winding California road, say, around Mountain View. Under the hood lies a fiery Ford Duratec engine producing up to 237 horsepower, channeling power directly through a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission to the rear axle. Its minimalist design, with no roof and side windows standard, is reminiscent of classic British sports cars, making it a true driver's machine.
