245 seems to be the most popular one however power/kg vs ££
What does the 245 go like mate? Does it feel quick, and is it capable of beating much
more exotic machinery?

only going from what i've heard i think the power to weight is up there with Caterham R300/R400, and its just a little more managable.

I've had no experience however i Spoke to Steve Cropley from Autocar a while back who has one, he said the 300 is constantly trying to kill you whereas the 245 is more managable/forgiving

Drove a 245 at Rockingham - unbelievable speed. Always difficult to say ho wit would be fair against super/hyper cars as it feels so much faster as it's open cockpit so feels faster. Having said that, it was pretty easy to catch Ferraris/Aston Martings/Lambo's in it but you don't know if the driver was giving it the full beans.

Never been in a car when I wanted to let off the accelerator - mind blowing :bigthumb:

Very true. Caterham R***s are a delight to drive.

Plus you can always add a S/C for less than the difference between the 245 & 300 models. If you think it's a bit too slow :-D

I've been in a supercharged atom, it's mind blowingly quick, not sure what bhp they're putting out but i'd imagine you'd need a bike to keep up with it.

One would presume the name has something to do with it.

Seeing as there's a 245 model amongst others, and guess how much bhp that has?

One must presume the Supercharged one must have 300 bhp then.

Well done.
