Caterham Using Three-Cylinder Suzuki Engine In Entry-Level Seven

The newest entry-level variant of the Caterham Seven range will be getting a powertrain from an unlikely source; a 660cc three-cylinder Suzuki engine. Power and efficiency figures haven't been announced, but Caterham is claiming that this is the lightest, most compact and most efficient powertrain ever put in a Seven. It's also supposed to be the cheapest, slotting in under the previous 1.6L 125 horsepower Ford-engined variants. Given the engine's 660 cc displacement, it's likely that this unit comes from a Japanese-market kei car, which would equate to an output of 63 horsepower – possibly more in Caterham spec. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
