2014–2026 Caterham Seven 485 Specs & Performance

Lightweight construction is the defining trait of the Caterham Seven 485, giving this sports roadster an unusually direct performance character. Its naturally aspirated 2.0-liter Ford Duratec inline-four produces 234 hp and 152 lb-ft of torque, sending power through a 5-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels. The result is a 3.3-second 0–60 mph time and a 140-mph top speed, while the front-mid-mounted engine and just 1,235-pound curb weight deliver a 5.27 lb/hp power-to-weight ratio.

The chassis keeps the Seven 485 focused, with double-wishbone front suspension and a DeDion rear axle complemented by vented front discs, rear disc brakes and 195/50R15 tyres. The 2014–2026 roadster seats two and provides 4.2 ft³ of luggage space, while its 9-gallon fuel tank supports a 278-mile total range. Measuring 125.2 inches long with an 87.6-inch wheelbase, the Seven is only 57.9 inches wide and 42.9 inches high. With 31 mpg combined economy, its compact dimensions and exceptionally low weight emphasize agile, driver-focused performance.
