The Caterham SV - A new dimension in Seven Motoring
Over the past 45 years of Seven production, the dimensions of this unique car have stayed true to the original Chapman design. However, as a direct result of Caterham listening to their valued customer base, this all-new model, the Caterham SV, has been developed.
The design brief was to create a Seven that had extra interior space making the car more practical for every day use without detracting from the cars timeless aesthetic appeal. And judging by the exemplary reviews and accolades the SV has received from the media, Caterhams engineers have been immensely successful. The increased track and wheelbase bestows this model with enhanced stability and greater road presence.
The end product is a Seven with an increased dimension chassis, offering extra 80mm in length and 110mm in width. And incredibly, the additional size of the car only adds 25 kg to its overall weight compared to the standard vehicles 550kg. This package provides a Caterham Seven that will allow a greater range of people to enjoy Caterham Motoring, giving extra leg room, foot room, elbow room and headspace to this already fantastic sports car. .
SV COCKPIT DIMENSIONS:
Overall extra length 80mm
Overall extra width 110mm
Pedal box extra width 55mm
Pedal box extra height 25mm
Windscreen extra height 25mm
Hood extra height 25mm
* Roadsport 160 Model
