RS LEVANTE // VEYRON FAST, MINUS THE DOORS

This is the Caterham RS Levante. More than 1,000bhp per ton (twice that of Bugatti’s Veyron), no top, no doors, nothing but raw, unfiltered horsepower. A 40 valve, 2.4-liter V8 making 400bhp, resides beneath the bonnet, and yes, you can have the 500bhp supercharged version if you’d like... At a total weight of 1,146lbs (the engine alone weighs a featherweight 200lbs), the RS Levante will scoot to sixty in less than three seconds, and with a price tag of  £115,000, we’d say that's a bargain. But here comes the bad news, Caterham has already sold out of them, and with a projected build of only eight cars, we are not surprised. So, you want one? Let the bidding begin // 10.18.2008
