In the late 80s, Caterham started using powerplants from various sources, with the least expensive models using a 1.4-litre K series from MG Rover for the base model, followed by a Ford Zetec 1.8-litre and a race-tuned Opel engine at the top, capable of achieving 175 or 210 bhp.

  Caterham Seven CSR : News & Reports : Motoring : Web Wombat
Though Caterham have not yet divulged the open wheeler's kerb weight, judging by the amount of power the engine generates and the supercar-like 0-60mph (0-96km/h) acceleration times, one can deduce that it's an incredibly light car.
Caterham will also offer a milder 200bhp (147kW) version of the Seven CSR, and this lower-power model has EU4 emissions approval, which the company says "will provide a major boost to Caterham's already strong export market, as well as forming the cornerstone of its domestic high performance sales".
According to Caterham, a new suspension system meant that changes to the chassis were needed, and the subsequent revisions to the Seven's tubular spaceframe have resulted in a rather nice 25 percent increase in torsional stiffness - not that the already grippy Seven really needed it.
