help Caterham Seven 620R FAQ
What engine powers the Caterham Seven 620R?
The 620R uses a supercharged 2.0-liter Ford Duratec engine producing roughly 310 horsepower. In a car weighing well under one metric ton, that creates an unusually high power-to-weight ratio.
How quick is the Caterham Seven 620R from zero to 60 mph?
Caterham has quoted a 0-to-60 mph time of about 2.8 seconds. That acceleration comes from low mass, rear-wheel drive, and the supercharged Duratec engine rather than electronic launch systems.
What makes the 620R more track-focused than a Seven 420?
The 620R adds substantially more power, a sequential gearbox, and hardware aimed at maximum circuit performance. Its exposed cockpit, firm ride, and minimal weather protection make it less relaxed on public roads than lower-powered Seven variants.
Is the Caterham 620R based on the original Lotus Seven?
Yes, Caterham's Seven lineage comes from the Lotus Seven created by Colin Chapman. Caterham acquired the rights to continue the design in the 1970s and has developed it into modern variants such as the 620R.
