Sorry, I just couldn't resist...

There is no such thing as far as standard Caterhams go . . . some people work out their power to weight ratios and call their cars an Rxxx, e.g. if you had a 370bhp motor in a 450kg chassis, you could call it an R820.

Here is an example of one that recently sold as a R600

Just an example.

Nige.

Wasn't the 2.1 litre grenade spec k-series R500 Evo sometimes referred to as the R600?

No such official model says the man with a home grown R560 Duratec

As others have said, just a name applied by the owner. It originally had a very high spec Vauxhall engine and probably was around 600 bhp/ton

Was that davey B's car ?

[PC7]

Yes it def was Davey B's car

[DaveK-S1]

What happened to Dave as that was his pride/joy ?

[MikeO996]

If it hasn't got an engine then it's a R000 rather than a R600 surely??

Bit irrelevant what engine it used to have in it isn't it?

[DaveK-S1]

Who ever bought it at £8600 got a bargain considering what was left on it.

When you add up the bits that you can see in the photo's !!!

I agree - just ripe for an RST V6

[pw75]

Technically surely thats an R-Zero?

Yup, not a bad price for sure.

That's what I thought - how can you name a car based on its power/weight ratio when it hasn't got any power?

[chisteve]

Had a R600 sticker on it though
