SP/300.R
open-in-new
<p>The Caterham-Lola SP/300.R, or simply SP/300.R, is a track-only, open roof car designed by <a href="/facts/Caterham_Cars/Y3bLgcPF">Caterham Cars</a> alongside <a href="/facts/Lola_Cars/YYoh9IL0">Lola Cars</a>. The SP/300.R is a limited edition with limited production to 25 per annum. </p><p>The car is based on the Lola B08/90 Sports 2000 car, and was designed with low costs but high on track performance. The car's <a href="/facts/Aluminium_alloy/1EzR3Y4t">aluminium alloy</a> <a href="/facts/Monocoque/JmP1Dltq">monocoque</a> chassis, that is shared with the Lola B08/90, means that it is significantly lighter than its steel tube frame rivals. Caterham turned to Lola for their CFD expertise in designing LMP cars to help design a body that is inspired by LeMans Prototypes. Its supercharged engine is claimed to produce 300 hp and provides the power for the car to sprint to 60 mph in only 2.8 seconds and only to a gearing limited top speed of 180 mph. </p>
