Caterham 7 Roadsport 175 Updates

Thursday, 18 February 2010 08:22 PM The Caterham 7 Roadsport 175, powered by a 2.0-litre Duratec engine producing 175bhp, is noted for its balanced suspension that strikes a nice spot between comfort and tautness, making it suitable for both road use and occasional spirited driving. This model also features a five-speed gearbox, which provides a more relaxed driving experience compared to the six-speed gearbox in the Superlight R300. I think this makes it a great option for those who want a fun, yet practical road car.

Tuesday, 10 March 2009 06:01 AM One of the unique aspects of the Caterham 7 Roadsport 175 is its availability with the wider SV chassis, which offers more room and incorporates the wider front suspension of the Superlight, but without the advanced dampers. This configuration makes the car more comfortable for daily use while retaining its performance credentials. Its a clever way to balance usability and performance.

Sunday, 15 February 2009 12:04 PM The Caterham 7 Roadsport 175 stands out with its 2.0-litre Duratec engine, which is shared with the track-oriented Superlight R300. However, the Roadsport 175 uses a five-speed gearbox instead of the six-speed, resulting in a more laid-back driving experience that leverages the engines torque. This makes it an excellent choice for those who plan to use their Caterham on regular roads rather than on a track.

Tuesday, 20 January 2009 05:00 PM In terms of specifications, the Caterham 7 Roadsport 175 boasts a 0-60mph time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 138mph. These figures, combined with its lightweight body of just 550kg, make it a formidable performer on the road. The inclusion of a heater and heated windscreen as standard adds to its practicality for everyday use. I believe these specs make it an attractive option for enthusiasts looking for a blend of performance and comfort.

For road use, the Roadsport 175 offers better long-distance comfort compared to the more track-focused Superlight models, while still delivering impressive performance. This flexibility is a significant selling point for the Roadsport 175.

Monday, 10 November 2008 05:47 PM The engine in the Caterham 7 Roadsport 175, a 2.0-litre Duratec, is known for its reliability and rev-happy nature, similar to the Ford Focus ST170. This engines durability and performance make it a strong choice for a road-going Caterham. I think the engines history in other vehicles adds to its appeal and reliability.

Monday, 20 October 2008 05:04 PM The Caterham 7 Roadsport 175 is distinguished by its more relaxed gearing and suspension setup compared to the Superlight models. This makes it better suited for B-road driving and mixing with other traffic, rather than intense track use. The cars ability to balance comfort and performance is a key selling point.

Monday, 15 September 2008 01:48 PM The wider SV chassis option for the Caterham 7 Roadsport 175 provides extra room and a wider front track, similar to the Superlight models but without the advanced dampers.

Sunday, 10 August 2008 12:43 PM The Caterham 7 Roadsport 175s performance is underscored by its 139lb ft of torque, which, although not high, is more than sufficient given the cars lightweight body. This torque, combined with the five-speed gearbox, makes overtaking easier and less frenetic compared to the Superlight models. I think this makes it a more enjoyable drive on regular roads.

Sunday, 20 July 2008 05:15 PM The decision to fit the Caterham 7 Roadsport 175 with a heater and heated windscreen as standard adds to its practicality for everyday driving. These features, along with the padded seats, make the Roadsport 175 a less compromised companion for daily use compared to the more stripped-down Superlight models.
