Expert opinion and recommendation

The Caterham 7 Roadsport 175 is a unique blend of practicality and raw driving excitement, though it leans more towards the latter. While it is marketed as a more user-friendly, all-seasons version of the Caterham Seven, it still retains the essence of a track-focused car. With its 175bhp 2.0-litre Ford Duratec engine, the Roadsport 175 accelerates from 0-62mph in just 4.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 138mph. However, its practical aspects, such as the heater, windscreen, and roof, are somewhat compromised, making long road trips less comfortable. The ride quality is smooth, but the overall experience is noisy and less refined compared to other roadsters. Its ideal for those who want a thrilling drive but may not be the best choice for daily commuting or long-distance travel.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Caterham 7 Roadsport 175 is part of a range that offers extensive personalization options, allowing buyers to tailor their vehicle to their specific needs. 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.

Price

Pricing details and changes

The Caterham 7 Roadsport 175 is not commonly sold in India, and as such, there is no official pricing available for the Indian market. However, if we were to import this vehicle, the costs would be significantly high due to import duties and taxes. The base price in the UK is around 25,000-30,000, which, when converted to Indian Rupees and including all import costs, could easily exceed 50 lakhs to 70 lakhs ex-showroom. On-road prices would be even higher, considering registration, insurance, and other local taxes, potentially pushing the total cost to over 75 lakhs.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The mileage of the Caterham 7 Roadsport 175 is not its strong suit, given its high-performance engine. With a kerb weight of just 550kg and a powerful 175bhp engine, fuel efficiency is not a priority. You can expect around 10-15 kml in city driving and slightly better on the highway, but this can vary significantly based on driving style and conditions. Running costs will be higher due to the premium fuel it requires and the potential for higher maintenance costs.

About

General information and overview

The Caterham 7 Roadsport 175 is a lightweight sports car that balances some level of practicality with its inherent track-biased DNA. Powered by a 175bhp 2.0-litre Ford Duratec engine, it offers blistering acceleration and a top speed of 138mph. The Roadsport 175 features a five-speed gearbox, a wider-bodied SV chassis for more cabin space, and amenities like a windscreen, heater, and roof, although these do little to dampen the raw driving experience. It weighs just 550kg, ensuring it remains agile and responsive. Despite its attempts at being more civil, it remains a car best suited for enthusiasts who crave a direct and unfiltered driving experience, rather than those seeking comfort and practicality.
