This fall, Caterham will add a stripped-down roadster to its lineup of open-top, Britisher go-karts — the Superlight — on occasion of the tenth anniversary of the original version. The, er, super-light Cat is powered by a 1.8-liter four, generating 140hp and 124lb ft of torque, and at nigh on 1100lbs, its power-to-weight ratio compares to that of the Ferrari 360 Spider. For those for whom Charles Lindbergh—grade weight reductions are unnecessary, options include a windshield, heater, roll bar and a — hopefully unnecessary — fire extinguisher, and zero-to-60 times in the five-second range are likely, according to the company.
