Singapore Immigration focuses on Singapore's Fashionable Lifestyle: Nowadays, few people would consider a roofless supercar a good idea, as high-speed vehicles generate significant noise, and drivers would certainly feel uncomfortable if not seated in an enclosed space.
However, it is clear that a niche British brand does not share this view, and that brand is Caterham. Recently, it unveiled a new concept car in Singapore—the AeroSeven Concept, which continues the stubborn gene of British tradition by refusing to include a roof or windshield!
Speaking of Caterham, it is necessary to briefly introduce its history. In 1959, Caterham Cars was merely the designated dealer for Lotus, authorized to sell the Lotus "7" model. Due to its long-term operation of the Lotus 7 model, Caterham developed a deep affection for it. It wasn't until 1973 that the manufacturing and sales rights for the Lotus 7 model worldwide were sold to Caterham by Lotus. Caterham's business philosophy over the years has been that this lightweight open-wheel car can definitely attract customers seeking driving pleasure, even if the numbers may be small, they are not afraid of a lack of buyers.
The new concept car, AeroSeven Concept, is the latest variant built on the Lotus "7" CSR platform, maintaining the craftsmanship of the old industrial era of British industry, yet featuring a carbon fiber body structure. It is powered by a Ford 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, with a maximum output of 237 horsepower, and a six-speed manual transmission that allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in under 4 seconds. Its body design maximizes the integration of F1 aerodynamic achievements.
What delights enthusiasts of British culture worldwide is that Caterham has hinted at the possibility of mass production of this car in 2014.
