Caterham Seven Miami Special Edition Debuts at F1 Grand Prix

Caterham has produced a new Miami Special Edition, which will be unveiled at the F1 race weekend in Miami. Motorsport fans attending the race will have the opportunity to see this lightweight, track-focused special edition from Caterham for the first time on Friday, May 1, on Race Street, located in the West Campus of the Miami International Autodrome, company officials stated in a press release.

The vehicle will be finished in a bespoke Aqua custom paint with a unique Miami Special Edition decal pack in Vibrant Pink and White. To finish the exterior design, the iconic Miami script and silhouette of the circuit appear on the rear of the car.

The bespoke aesthetics continue throughout the interior with the Miami script embroidered on the headrests and an individual numbered plaque located on the dashboard. The hand-built nature of a Caterham Seven means the cars also feature a second plaque in the engine bay, engraved with the names and signatures of the two builders who were responsible for hand assembling the car at the factory in the UK, noted the release.

Seven Miami Special Edition Specs

This track-only Seven Miami Special Edition features a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre Ford Duratec engine, which delivers 210 bhp at 7,600 rpm for a power-to-weight ratio of 375 bhp-per-tonne. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, which results in a 0-60 mph time of just 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 136 mph.

“Miami has become a global hub for elite motorsport and luxury automotive culture, so to have this moment to unveil the Miami Special Edition is truly unique,” said Trevor Steel, senior vice president of Operations, Caterham Cars. “This car represents the very best of lightweight British engineering, and seeing the car launched and on display at the race weekend will be a significant moment for our brand.”

Caterham’s Focus on Expanding US Dealer Network

Caterham says its presence at such a prestigious international motorsport event complements the brand’s focus on U.S. market expansion and the recent appointment of Miami’s Walt Grace Vintage as its latest U.S. dealer. In addition, Caterham recently announced a partnership with Precision Drive Club, an invitation-only, private membership community curated to deliver world-class driving and hospitality experiences based at the Miami International Autodrome.

Following the race weekend in Miami, 10 of the 12 examples will be available to purchase through Caterham’s U.S. dealer network, with prices available on application.
