About the Caterham Seven 620R
Launched in 2013 to replace the legendary R500, the 620R is the most extreme road-legal Seven ever produced by Caterham. It features a 2.0-litre Ford Duratec engine equipped with a centrifugal supercharger, paired with a race-bred six-speed sequential gearbox that requires decisive, flat-shift inputs. The 'R' designation signifies a track-focused specification including a unique gunmetal chassis, wide-track front suspension, and carbon-fibre interior panels. Driving it is a visceral experience; with no electronic aids and a power-to-weight ratio exceeding 560bhp per tonne, it demands total concentration and rewards with telepathic steering and brutal acceleration.

Caterham Seven 620R fun facts
- The 620R's power-to-weight ratio of 568bhp per tonne is higher than that of a Bugatti Veyron or a McLaren F1.
- To manage the extreme heat generated by the supercharged engine, the 620R features a unique 'air-flow optimised' nosecone and a race-developed cooling package.
- The sequential gearbox is so focused that it lacks a traditional synchromesh, requiring the driver to be positive and fast with shifts to avoid mechanical protest.
