The Caterham 170

It’s said that the best things come in small packages.

A sentiment our diminutive Seven has continued to affirm for over 60 years. But even in the world of the Seven, things don’t come smaller than the 170. Welcome to the smallest and lightest production car we’ve ever built.

Equipped with Suzuki’s latest 3 cylinder turbo charged engine, the 84bhp unit powers the 440kg Seven 170 to 62mph in just 6.9 seconds.  With a power-to-weight ratio in excess of 170bhp-per-tonne (specification dependent), in a package boasting all the poise and agility you’d expect from a Caterham, we know you’ll love it as much as we do. 

Small is indeed mighty.
