Caterham F1's newest team member, Kamui Kobayashi, has warmed up for the first Grand Prix of the season in Australia by taking his first ever drive in the Caterham Seven 620 R.
According to Kobayash, "For me, this is a pure car, everything else is just transportation. Normally, with a new car, it takes a few laps to understand it, with this car, after one corner, I understand it straight away. I feel like this is a car that I am driving, rather than the car driving me and that is a very good feeling. The power of the 620 R is awesome - I can’t believe you can drive this car on the road, it is definitely the closest thing to a racing car".
Priced at £49,995, the Seven 620 R has a 2.0-liter Ford Duratec engine which produces 311 hp and 296 Nm of torque. This allows the car to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in less than 2.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 250 km/h.
