Caterham Announces Seven Kamui Kobayashi Special Edition for Japan

Caterham and F1 driver Kamui Kobayashi have teamed up for a special edition of the Seven which is destined for Japan. Only 10 units will be made and all are going to be based on the Seven 250 R version.

Powering this special edition will be a Ford Sigma, 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder engine which is capable of churning out 125bhp. Mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential, the car will be capable of doing the 0-100km/h run in 5.9 seconds and will max out at 196km/h.

The limited-edition Seven receives high-gloss black paint combined with matte black stripes and green lacquer on the carbon fibre front and rear wings. The single-seater also boasts an aluminium tonneau cover and a polished chrome exhaust.

Inside, there is a carbon fibre dashboard signed by Kamui Kobayashi featuring green lacquer, while the carbon fibre sport seats come with green contrasting stitching. Then there is the anodized green gear knob, bespoke gauge inlays, a special green key and green Takata four-point harness.
