Caterham beats the CCX by 0.2

Xeon SX · October 4th, 2006, 2:12 PM

well, drivers are different so time doesn't matter. + I dont think Top Gear were shooting that.

kekekeke · October 4th, 2006, 2:25 PM

yeah that's why i said it's unofficial.

Blind_Io · October 4th, 2006, 7:00 PM

Still damn impressive.

So does this mean the gauntlet has been thrown down?

CSR????

MKnight · October 4th, 2006, 11:48 PM

maybe he is the Stig? He looks like the right build.

That hardly looks or sounds like a production model and if we aren't doing production models, well then the F1 lap times kick that thing's ass.

CSR260 Model
ENGINE:
Cosworth 2.3-litre Ford Duratec Max power: 260 bhp
Maximum Speed: 155mph
0-60 3.1 seconds

Costs only £31,000. Very good performance for the money, but I guess it is very hard to live with.

You sure that's that car though? The one in the video looks completely stripped out and everything and it sounds too loud to be able to pass the DMV equiv.

kekekeke · October 5th, 2006, 2:01 AM

oh right. i see what you mean. altough i can only see the passenger seat missing. oh well, at least the video shows the performance potential.

DiuSee · October 5th, 2006, 3:50 AM

Wow, interesting video, funny how they remade the times board.

Peter3hg · October 5th, 2006, 6:30 AM

I'm fairly certain that its standard part from possibly the passenger seat being removed. There isn't a lot else to remove. The engine doen't sound too loud and it has a reg plate so it should be street legal.

The time is a bit 'hollywood' images/smilies/smile.gif

Smurfen · October 5th, 2006, 11:44 AM

awsome time images/smilies/smile.gif

nomix · October 5th, 2006, 11:53 AM

Very nice time. And this is not the stig, which makes me believe he hasn't driven round that track a billion times, so would be interesting to see what the stig could've managed. images/smilies/smile.gif

Its a caterham, its possible to buy stripped versions (not like there is a lot there to begin with). And this isnt the US we are talking about, kit-cars are very road legal in the UK

True, the rules for a kit car are far less strict than a normal car.
