Goodwood-bound Caterham R620 to hit 60 mph in under 2.8 sec

With apologies to The Beatles, it was 40 years ago today (well, sort of...) that Caterham taught the Seven to play. The car as you're likely aware, is a direct descendant of the quintessential Lotus of the same name. As befitting an anniversary year, Caterham has decided to up the Seven's ante by plopping a 2.0-liter Ford Duratec into the engine bay, fortified by a supercharger to deliver 310 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox. Weight of the Caterham R620 is not yet known, but considering its estimated 2.8-second run to 60 miles per hour, and historically lightweight nature, it figures to be rather feathery.
