Caterham has its sights set on the mainstream car market but in the meantime it will continue to concentrate on what it's best at: creating track weapons. And its latest model – the Caterham 620R – is the most powerful road-going car the British marque has ever built. Ousting the Superlight R500 as Caterham's top of the line model, the new range-topping 7 boasts a newly-engineered, 2.0-liter supercharged Ford Duratec engine good for 310 horsepower that delivers a kick-in-the-back 0-60 mph time of 2.8 seconds and top speed of 155 mph.

To keep things characteristically minimalist and lightweight, Caterham has opted for a unique gunmetal chassis, air-flow optimized nose cone, a race-developed cooling package, De Dion suspension, 13-inch lightweight alloys, and a carbon-fiber clad interior with performance-focused instrumentation and Q/R race steering wheel. Goodwood FoS goers will get to see the 620R in action as it sprints up the Goodwood Hill this weekend before it hits the showroom priced at £49,995 fully built. A less hardcore 620S will be launched later in the year.
