The Caterham 620R is one of the world's most extreme lightweight sports cars ever built. Steve Sutcliffe puts it to the test mattbod: You really would need track training before being let loose in this otherwise you would kill yourself. I remember as a kid talking to the Caterham boys at Motorfair in the 90s (remember that) and them telling me that all buyers of their HPC model were offered and strongly advised to take a high performance track driving course before delivery and that only had 175bhp. Money does not buy talent and I hope I don-t meet some city boy in one of these coming in the other direction.

A few chaps from the UK took my son and I for a lap around LaSarth in a pair of Caterhams, both on Avon racing slicks! It was around 1am, and the morning of the 2004 24 Hours of LeMans.
I'll never forget going around the traffic circle sideways, looking over my left shoulder, and seeing the other car tucked in tight behind us, ALSO IN A DRIFT. My 12 year old son was grinning ear to ear.
He was used to this sort of stuff, from riding in my Viper. -

What a lovely car. I would like one, but as I dont have the 50, 000 the best consulation for me was the Lego version. Lego has registered the Caterham set as a retired product.
However it is available from Amazon at 209 pounds for the set. In 2016 when first released it retailed for 69 pounds.

The question shall I buy a (or drive my) Caterham 620R or shall I buy (or drive my) a Volkswagen Golf GTI never occurs, so why make the comparison? Both do what they're meant to do very well but comparing the two is nonsense!

A fantastic car but you need to compare with other lightweight track orientated cars like Arial Atoms & Radicals not a hot hatch. A Caterham 620R faster than a Golf Gti? Who would have guessed?

Some say -is a toy, is useless- by on the other hand thousand of drivers daily trips on motorbikes even in long distance. it is an unsense say this car is useless
reply

being a big cities person with no need for a car I really hope some day I'll be able to get a second hand one as track toy. Looks out of this world.

soooo a 311hp 500hp track car beats a car with 100 less hp that wheighs over twice as much? nooo wayyyy! next do a chiron vs a lada, should be close

Note that the car has rather narrow tires, this makes a car like this more fun to drive since the driver needs to work for it.
