Caterham 310R

In the world of lightweight performance cars, few names command the same reverence as Caterham. And among its lineup of minimalist driving machines, the Caterham 310R stands as a perfect blend of accessibility, raw performance, and mechanical purity — a car built for those who believe that driving is an art form.

A Pure Driver's Machine
Based on the legendary Caterham Seven platform, the 310R strips back every unnecessary ounce to leave only what truly matters: driver, engine, chassis, and the open road. Weighing just around 540 kg, the 310R proves that you don’t need outrageous horsepower to achieve a thrilling driving experience — you just need the right balance.

At the heart of the 310R is a 1.6-liter Ford Sigma engine producing 152 bhp. While the figure may sound modest on paper, in a car this light, it translates into an exhilarating power-to-weight ratio. The 310R sprints from 0-60 mph in just 4.8 seconds, and the linear power delivery makes it incredibly responsive through the rev range.

Race-Ready Without Compromise
The "R" in 310R signifies its motorsport intentions. It comes equipped with sport suspension, a limited-slip differential, and lightweight 13-inch alloy wheels, wrapped in sticky track-oriented rubber. Caterham also fits it with composite race seats and a four-point harness, completing its no-nonsense approach to going fast.

The car delivers surgical steering precision, direct feedback through the wheel and pedals, and a true mechanical connection between driver and machine. Whether you're carving apexes at your favorite track or attacking backroads, the 310R gives you exactly what you ask for — and nothing more.

Track Day Star, Road Legal Warrior
One of the most appealing aspects of the 310R is that it's road legal, allowing owners to drive to a track day, dominate a session, and drive home — all without a trailer. It's also eligible for Caterham’s 310R Championship, a popular one-make racing series that provides fiercely competitive, budget-conscious motorsport action.
