Great video! This is a purist car lover, i dream to drive one of these! I hope to see more of these type of videos, there are the best ones in UA-cam and in every channel, good job EVO, Jethro and Richard, you rocks!
just six hundreths slower than a Z28 Camaro, what a brilliant little car, I wish America had fun little cars like this, rather than thinking about what car is going to net the big three their next billion.
balance and traction are not the same thing and thats what pushing a car around a track looks like, you're always trying to go that little bit faster, push a little harder and you are going to overstep the boundaries of what a car can do when you do that. The fact that the car appears to be quite easily controllable past the limit means it IS very well balanced
For some reason I only get a black screen with the evo logo in the bottom right. Can hear what's going on and skip around in the video. Other EVO videos have no problem.
You can buy Caterhams, but the American market has slightly different versions. The model names are different I know that much. I'm a Brit living in Florida, and there's a dealer in Palm Beach.
+Alex Johnson Sure. I'm saving up for one myself, although to be honest, I may end up moving back to England this year and I'm glad, because the idea of driving one of these around Florida roads scares the bejesus out of me. Most other cars are three times the size with drivers brains half the size of mine!
South4153 I've crashed in other cars, I wouldn't mind crashing in a Formula 1 car (look at what Alonso just survived), or in a Volvo, but this thing looks like you will die even in a small crash. Crashing is part of motorsport. That said I like caterhams and would like to drive or own one some day.
+Houston Fowler The Atom 3.5R has been featured on the evo channel before, including tCoty 2014 when it did rather well. Check these out: ua-cam.com/video/11W7RfWeMWE/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Q996CXSG5_4/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/HxNf8V50Ja4/v-deo.html
I would be too scared to let go of the steering to change gear. I would also look like Shrek inside.They really need to make little wider body for guys like me :)
I remember 15 years ago buying english auto magazines and seeing this car everywhere. 15 years later it's still the same wheel carriage, still loved by the brits, still ignored by the rest of the world. Yeah, it's a metal chassis with 2 seats and hard springs. It's a big go-kart. WHOOP DEE FUCKING DO, we've seen it a billion times and of course it's better on the track than anything else, because every other car has got to be a car too, not just a go kart. But the Caparo will destroy this shit.
+Sandouras this design is nearly 60 years old...1957. I have a 1959 original Series 1 Lotus 7....in which I can whip the butt of most modern american agricultural machinery....and ALL American crap of its era. Keep your Caparo (sic)
Come on EVO!!!! why are you all about rare track cars and small toys! do some real car videos.. so many cars are out there waiting to be tested or compared.. personally Im sick of these repeatetive childish videos! EVO is better than this...

I need this in my life
Thank you for uploading more of the 420R
What a lovely description of the car. It conveyed the excitement that we as car enthusiasts have for such machines!
After watching this I got a R485 thank you so much Evo !!!!
I am very lucky to own a 420R. Just a wonderful, raw driving experience.
THAT SOUND while shifting .... Imaging....blasting through neighbourhood 😜😅😁
Reminds me of the guys on a scooter with the trumpet!
Keep getting back to this video just for the sound..... OMG!!
Yes!! We asked, you delivered!
Great video! This is a purist car lover, i dream to drive one of these! I hope to see more of these type of videos, there are the best ones in UA-cam and in every channel, good job EVO, Jethro and Richard, you rocks!
How could anyone dislike this video?
Agree 100 %. Brilliant, fun, beautifully built, involving cars.
dayum that has a surprisingly great sound to it
That looks like incredible fun, great sound.
Got to love a Caterham
the sound of a great clutch
Thanks Evo for uploading this video! Just awesome!
Awesome, loved the head cam
just six hundreths slower than a Z28 Camaro, what a brilliant little car, I wish America had fun little cars like this, rather than thinking about what car is going to net the big three their next billion.
+Ian Coates Wasn't the Camaro's time done in a downpour?
nope mate..put better tires on 420r and it will beat z28 easy
@@commantrosexetlos4700 Still loose the point, they are the ultimate pure driving experience, not a track killer like a mclaren
@@FEGTTTSDH THEY ARE TRACK KILLERS MATE
Good old 2-litre Ford Duratec, great engine.
some videos should just never get dislikes
+Matt Reed I think the person who disliked this video had broken speakers.
+adm2204 or drives a Prius
I like to believe people who dislike videos like this just missclicked the like button.
nikolastwelve Quite possible, I’ve done it.
very excellent quality. thank you
Great video that captures the essence of a Caterham. Well done chaps! However one gripe: get rid of that girly windscreen! Aero all the way :-)
Great footage!
The best sounding 4 banger in my opinion
I don't know if I would buy it. My face would hurt from never stop smiling XD
Doing the same track tomorrow in the same car!
"Not as aggressive as last year's 620R..." *Shows 20 treadwear tires ಠ_ಠ*
it was running Avon ZZS tyres not the ZZR's
"Just a little understeer?" Where?? Love it!
I wish my car had this type of throttle response.
you have to be very good to drive like this!!!!!
I'll have one someday soon :)
Did you get one?
Best car in the world
He was always fighting with the car and the balance is perfect?!
What would he say of a Lotus 3-Eleven?... More than perfect, for sure!
balance and traction are not the same thing and thats what pushing a car around a track looks like, you're always trying to go that little bit faster, push a little harder and you are going to overstep the boundaries of what a car can do when you do that.

Sean Taylor
Ok. Mass balance maybe perfect, but power balance it isn't.
depends on how good you are with your right foot
+Sean Taylor I'm very brute with my right foot... That's why I love AWD and 4WD cars.
I wish you EVO guys could come and drive our version in New Zealand, a Fraser. An honest comparison would be excellent.
I really don't know why it took me whole 5 seconds to give it a thumbs up...
Shit it looks so cool
Pure Lotus.
For some reason I only get a black screen with the evo logo in the bottom right. Can hear what's going on and skip around in the video. Other EVO videos have no problem.
Still hard to believe the Caterham 420r is 1sec slower then Mini Cooper
Agreed
Heeeeey maaaaaan, did somebody say 420?
Peace dude!!
Grreat video - I could manage without the xylophone music at 2:00 :-)
Dear Santa........
Can you buy these in the United States?
No, you people don't deserve them...
You can buy Caterhams, but the American market has slightly different versions. The model names are different I know that much. I'm a Brit living in Florida, and there's a dealer in Palm Beach.

demmersify Lol that is true
how much does this weigh and cost
about 500kg, or slightly more than a thousand of freedom units
How is it possible to own a car like this and keep it parked on the street safely?
+sutats removable steering wheel, immobiliser, hidden cut off switches
That's a car a wouldn't like to be crashing in.
do you like crashing in other car's? :D
are dou a crash dummy? (:

Wonder if they will be switching to the new eco boosts.
they better not be a turbo in a 7 is stupid
+o hi (th) Too late, mine has a turbo with 250hp :)
Haha blaz
I'd kill myself in that lol

They do
She's a lively girl isn't she.
*cough* Ariel Atom 3.5R *cough*
+Starstriple you ever driven an Ariel Atom 3.5R? No, I didn't think so. I have and trust me, it will change what you believe is capable in a car.

if it doesnt destroy itself first, did you see how many caparo's caught on fire?!
LOL - Ownage brings silence
So…never driven one then?
Great car, ugly sound:(.
wtf dude, it sounds really good imo
No.
Well but bmw is a shit compared to this 99% pure cocaine car
Come on EVO!!!! why are you all about rare track cars and small toys! do some real car videos.. so many cars are out there waiting to be tested or compared.. personally Im sick of these repeatetive childish videos! EVO is better than this...
+Khashayar Chegeni Exactly! Make some super boring videos about the VW Golf. A small diesel engine if you can. Who needs entertaining videos anyways?
+MeisterYodarkus LOL, or maybe boring road trip/track day of new 911s, 488 vs aventador SV vs 675...so much boredom
Thought the Radical was TDCOTY?
