I was talking to a researcher working for Caterham and i was astounded by the lightest (and most expensive car) Caterham have made... Any guesses at cost....? Try £82,000! And weight with half a tank but no driver of this one off special was a mere 380kg! Needless to say not just the fancy looking bits were carbon!
