So what do we think it will be? I am imagining something track orientated after they got badly stung by not having the budget to develop the 21 to its obvious potential and make it a mainstream contender.

It's going to be an interesting Autosport Show I reckon. Could be a radical style mid engined toy or could they even be buying into the Zolfe venture? Haven't seen any updates on that for months. I'm assuming the "next-generation Caterham Motorsport engine" is the new R400 duratec setup.

I'd bet my money on it being an Radical-esque car with a tuned Duratec.
So a Westfield XTR then. Would be interesting but I'd like to see a coupe along the lines of the Ginetta G40.wouldnt it be queer if Caterham had bought the rights to them from Westfield?

Caterham say:
"entirely new model"
But Autosport say:
"continuing the lightweight and minimalist styling of the iconic Seven."
Does that just mean it's another boring 7 iteration?
Or are we going to see something along the lines of the Reynard Inverter?
Would be easy enough to plonk an aero body on a CSR chassis, surely?

I love the implied fantasy that the Inverter passed IVA in that configuration replete with slicing blades of pedestrian death aero endplates and pylons. Also, did they assume that the punters weren't going to notice the headlight covers are held on with gaffer tape?
Smashing package though, flavour of the month at all BaT events, ain't that right Jonny? Did like the piece in Track Driver
