Caterham team-up with Lola to launch new SP/300.R


British race car manufacturers Caterham and Lola have joined forces to create the brand new Caterham Lola SP/300.R and are planning a one-make series in 2012 for the thoroughbread racer.


The car is Caterham’s first monocoque race car and will be powered by a two litre, 300bhp Ford engine. It will be capable of reaching speeds of 180mph and will be available to customers at £60,000.


While the plan for 2011 is to run the new machine as a track day car, a one-make series is being planned for 2012 with full details to follow at a later date.


“This is a unique car designed and created by two great British manufacturing companies,” Lola’s Robin Brundle said at Autosport International as Caterham launched the car on Thursday.


“We’re very pleased that Caterham chose Lola as its design partner on this project. We’re both customer-led companies and I think those customers will really enjoy driving and racing this car.”


Caterham plans to produce 25 cars per year and are expecting demand to ‘exceed supply’.
