About this car

This Caterham Superlight R500 'SPEC' is a Seven built to approximate the fabled R500 without the original's price. It uses a 2.0-litre Ford Duratec rebuilt in 2021 by Boss Racing to produce 260bhp, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, a limited-slip differential and a dry-sump system.

It is finished in white with red Superlight decals, a nod to the Top Gear car. Specification includes carbon and Kevlar seats, lowered floors, a carbon dash with a bespoke AIM road dash, a full cage, aero-section wishbones, uprated brakes and Avon ZZR tyres on 13-inch black Apollo wheels.

The car shows 7,234 miles and was first registered in December 2016, despite the 2007 date in the advert title. The gearbox was rebuilt in 2024. The dealer says it was uprated and maintained by Rob Singleton, formerly of Caterham and owner of Boss Racing.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (No figures given: the factory Superlight R500 (2.0 Duratec) was dropped before 2016, when the 620R replaced it, so a 2016 'R500 SPEC' looks like a car built to R500 spec, not a factory R500.).
