Seven Nurburgring EditionCaterhamCaterham Honors Nürburgring With Limited-Edition SevenBritish sports car manufacturer Caterham Cars has revealed the Seven Nürburgring Edition, a new limited-production model created to celebrate 100 years of the Nürburgring — the iconic German circuit widely regarded as the ultimate test of both driver skill and automotive engineering.Limited to just 100 examples worldwide, the Nürburgring Edition will be available in either Seven 420R or Seven 340R specification depending on the market. Prices in the UK start at £48,995 including VAT, while US cars are priced from $56,595, positioning the car as an exclusive offering aimed squarely at collectors and driving enthusiasts seeking a purist performance experience.AdvertisementAdvertisementPerformance remains central to the Nürburgring Edition’s appeal. Power comes from a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter Ford Duratec engine producing 210 horsepower at 7,600 rpm. Paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, the lightweight sports car delivers a power-to-weight ratio of 375 bhp per tonne, helping it accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.8 seconds before reaching a top speed of 136 mph. In an era increasingly dominated by electrification and digital driving aids, Caterham continues to lean into analogue performance and mechanical engagement.Seven Nurburgring EditionCaterhamA major engineering focus for the Nürburgring Edition is its bespoke suspension package, developed exclusively with Bilstein. Using Bilstein’s advanced vertical dynamics testing technology, the setup was specifically tuned around the demanding characteristics of the Nürburgring Nordschleife, including its dramatic elevation changes, high-speed sections and uneven surfaces. Caterham says the result is a suspension package capable of delivering confidence and precision on both road and track.The exterior design introduces several upgrades that distinguish the Nürburgring Edition from the standard Seven lineup. As a fully licensed Nürburgring product, the car incorporates official branding and styling inspired by the legendary circuit. Buyers can choose from three dedicated paint finishes — Verkehrsrot (Traffic Red), Achatgrau (Agate Grey) and Basaltgrau (Basalt Grey) — while custom paint options will also be available.Additional exterior enhancements include a Nürburgring red track-day roll bar, a dual-color Nürburgring grille featuring the Seven logo, a 620-style nosecone with carbon aero whiskers and carbon fiber front wings. The chassis is finished in Gunmetal Grey, while black styling accents, a composite aeroscreen and LED rear light clusters further reinforce the car’s track-focused character.AdvertisementAdvertisementInside, the Nürburgring Edition maintains Caterham’s minimalist motorsport philosophy while adding several bespoke touches. Leather seats feature Nürburgring embroidery alongside red contrast stitching, which also extends across the transmission tunnel. Carbon fiber interior panels, four-point road harnesses and sequential shift lights further emphasize the model’s driver-focused intent. Each of the 100 cars will also receive an individually numbered plaque to highlight its exclusivity.Seven Nurburgring EditionCaterhamFew circuits carry the global reputation of the Nürburgring, often referred to as the “Green Hell.” Located in Germany’s Eifel Mountains, the 12.9-mile Nordschleife is renowned for its 73 corners, changing camber and punishing elevation changes.
