80hp Caterham Seven 160 details revealed

Caterham has launched its new Seven 160 – an 80hp entry-level variant of its back-to-basics sports car available that’s available now from £14,995. That’s in kit form: if you’re not keen to build it yourself you’ll have to stretch to £17,995, which still offers a decent fun/money ratio thanks to its kerb weight of less than 500kg: that equates to 160hp-per-tonne. Caterham Seven 165 prototype stars at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show Suzuki power for new entry-level Caterham Power comes from a turbocharged 660cc three-cylinder Suzuki engine which propels the car to 60 in 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 100mph.

New Citroen C1 revealed ahead of Geneva debut

The new Citroen C1 (pictured) revealed ahead of Geneva debut We’ve had the proper reveal of the new Peugeot 108 and a bit of a teaser photo for the new Toyota Aygo, and this morning we get the trio completed with the reveal of the new Citroen C1 ahead of its Geneva debut. We’d call the new C1 a 2014 model, but for some reason Citroen gave the current C1 an overhaul only a few months ago and made that a 2014 model, so we probably have to refer to this new one as the 2015 Citroen C1. Whatever model year to attach to it though, the new C1 is just a new Aygo or new Peugeot 108 in Citroen clothes and therefore offers much the same as those two cars.
