Posted by Administrator under Itsy Bitsy Spider
Caterham is famed for producing some of the fastest cars in the world, but what about one capable of returning 131 miles per gallon?
That’s exactly what a modified Caterham Seven achieved at the recent Shell Eco-Marathon at Rockingham.
Customised by carbon fibre specialist Axon Automotive, with the support of Energy-Efficient Motorsport (EEMS), the standard Caterham Seven Roadsport 1.6-litre K Series used enhanced aerodynamics, new lightweight seating, narrow low rolling resistance tyres and economic driving techniques to ensure it maximised every drop of fuel. The sportscar smashed the team’s initial 100mpg target. (article)
