Caterham’s new X330 design special

Caterham have now being producing cars for 50 years, and to celebrate this they are developing a new model the X300. Its power output will be between 260bhp – 330bhp but with its light weight space frame, the new car will have a power to weight ratio of 600bhp per tonne! For those of you in the know you will realise that this is better than the McLaren F1 and the Bugatti Veyron.

Although this development will be a one-off some elements of the design will be integrated into production cars and we may see future Caterham cars with carbon fibre body panels, lightweight alloy wheels and thinner gauge steel for the chassis.
