Eight cars might not sound a lot, but at a cost of £115,000+ each, which is the equivalent of around $200,500 or €148,000 with the current exchange rates, it is somewhat surprising that that Caterham managed to sell all RS Levante supercars in a relatively short period of time. The most powerful production Caterham ever which is being hand-built by Hertfordshire-based RS Performance in association with Caterham Cars, packs a 500+bhp 2.4-liter supercharged V8 engine, housed in a modified version of the lightweight Caterham SV chassis. -Continued Weighing in at just 520kg or 1,146 pounds, the RS Levante boasts a power to weight ratio close to 1000bhp-per-tonne, or nearly double that of the Bugatti Veyron... So it's not surprising that the Brits announce a 0-60 mph (96 km/h) sprint time of under 3,0 seconds -even though the top speed is limited to 150mph or 241 km/h.

That's just pure madness!
Death Wish on wheels...gotta love it!
this is really crazy machine.
naah, I'm not interested in Caterhams anymore - Aspid has perfected Lotus7 concept AND it has a built in FIA certified rollcage.
I really can not imagine how is this thing going to use all that power anyway??? it is not designed for high speed cruising and it not only doesn't need that power at below 100km/h, but no tyres could possibly stand that much force under only 600kg of load
I would say it's a death wish show car. No real use for it.
