The 2025 Caterham Seven 170R is the lightest and most affordable car in the Caterham range, tipping the scales at just 440 kg dry. Its Suzuki-derived 660cc three-cylinder turbo engine produces 84 horsepower, which in a car this light translates to a power-to-weight ratio that rivals many supercars. The five-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel-drive layout deliver a pure, analog driving experience that harks back to the original Lotus Seven formula. With a 0-60 mph time of 6.9 seconds and go-kart-like handling, the 170R proves that driving thrills are not about outright power but about the connection between driver and machine.
