Caterham reveals new Seven ‘Miami Special Edition’

Caterham is set to introduce a new limited-run version of the Seven track day sports car with the ‘Miami Edition’ at this week’s Formula One Miami Grand Prix.

The Caterham Seven Miami Edition will be limited to just 12 examples and has been designed to celebrate the automotive culture in the Floridian city.

Inside, the Miami script is embossed into the head rests while there is an individual numbered plaque on the dashboard.

Powering the car is a 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated Ford Duratec petrol engine that produces 210bhp, it can hit 60mph in 3.8 seconds and will reach a top speed of 136mph. All cars are mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and the engine revs out to 7,600rpm.

Trevor Steel, senior vice president of operations at Caterham Cars, said: “Miami has been a global hub for elite motorsport and luxury automotive culture, so to have this moment to unveil the Miami Special Edition is truly unique. This car represents the very best of lightweight British engineering, and seeing the car launched and on display at the race weekend will be a significant moment for our brand.”

The Caterham Seven Miami Edition will make its debut at this weekend’s Formula One Miami Grand Prix, though the car will only be available for the American market.
