Caterham has unveiled a limited-run Miami Special Edition of its iconic Seven, a track-only lightweight that sprints from 0-96 km/h in 3.8 seconds despite just 210 hp. Only 12 units will be built.
Caterham has revealed a special edition of its legendary Seven, named the Miami Special Edition. This track-only variant celebrates the Miami classic car scene and is limited to just 12 units worldwide. Despite its modest 210 hp output, the car’s featherweight construction delivers blistering performance.
What makes the Miami Special Edition unique?
According to a report from Carscoops, the special edition draws inspiration from Miami’s beach vibe. It features a unique light blue exterior with white and dark blue racing stripes, exclusive badging, and track-focused tires. The car is designed solely for circuit use, meaning it is not road-legal.
Engine and performance specs
Power comes from a 2.0-liter تعريف four-cylinder petrol engine producing 210 hp and 203 Nm of torque. While these figures seem modest by modern supercar standards, the car’s curb weight of approximately 600 kg (1,323 lbs) enables astonishing acceleration. The Seven Miami Special hits 96 km/h (60 mph) in just 3.8 seconds, outpacing many cars with double the تعريف horsepower. A 6-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels, delivering a pure, engaging driving experience.
How much will the Caterham Seven Miami Special cost?
Caterham has not announced official pricing, but based on previous special editions, the Miami Special is expected to cost between USD 50,000 and USD 80,000. In Saudi Arabia, that would translate to roughly SAR 180,000 to SAR 300,000 (at 1 USD ≈ 3.75 SAR).
When will it arrive in the Gulf region?
Caterham has not confirmed distribution plans for the Middle East. However, given the limited run of 12 units, it may be available through regional dealers such as Auto Centar in the UAE. A potential arrival could occur in the second half of 2026. Gulf buyers should note that the car is track-only and not homologated for public roads, so it is best suited for private circuits or track days.
How does it compare to rivals?
The Caterham Seven Miami Special competes with other lightweight track toys like the Lotus 3-Eleven and Ariel Atom. Caterham’s advantage lies in its lower weight and relatively lower price point. The Miami edition also benefits from suspension and tire upgrades tailored for circuit use.
