Not bad! It does look super short tho :D
It would look even shorter if it wasn't for the oversized valve cover, intake and auxilaries like battery.
It must be the easiest car to work on :D Access is perfect.

I wonder how compact that Suuki engine looks in that long hood.
Although it does at least have turbocharger which should add some substance to the looks of otherwise tiny engine :D

A Suzuki engine? Couldn't Caterham find any better alternative?
80 bhp is too weak by today's standards.. even for a 490 kg vehicle.
This Caterham could be useful for training courses only.
And I hate those cheap stamped rims.
For 20k Euros I could afford a Focus ST, which is BTW faster and way more practical.
