    Even despite the fact that all of TG presenters called Caterham ugly, I myself, consider it very sexy, great looking little racer. And if I was to buy one of these three cars myself - Caterham, no questions about it.

    • @davidblalock9945
      @davidblalock9945 10 років тому +23

      I wouldn't buy any of them, but what I would build would likely look like the caterham. And I would put a 2.0 Ecoboost engine in it.

    • @CrazyChemistPL
      @CrazyChemistPL 10 років тому +53

      *****
      Thing is that you can buy a fairly civilized version of the Caterham - with windscreen, dorrs, roof and heater. Great car for track day, and still fairly usable in real life situations.

    • @davidblalock9945
      @davidblalock9945 10 років тому +19

      But then I would miss out on all the fun of fabricating/selecting every component of the car. Which for me is the whole point of a car like this.
      Its about the car being a true inner reflection of its maker.

    • @CrazyChemistPL
      @CrazyChemistPL 10 років тому +23

      There are kit-car versions of Caterham, but I can see your point. It is not as much as fun as creating it from the ground up.

      I would argue the Caterham is overall faster than the KTM. According to tracktimes anyway. KTM may have more grip, but the caterham isnt far behind and has far more power

    its the sound too :D i was wandering around at the end of a classic car show and when it set off it was very nearly as loud as the big 427 cobra next to it. although the noise from the cobra nearly vibrated the morgan's bonnet off :L

    Only thing that matters is this is the best tricycle-fighter ever made.

    I'd take the Caterham, classic looks and best sound. The Morgan is just ridiculous and the X-Bow looks like an upset orange insect. I still respect the X-Bow though.

    Imagine being shocked that a car with half the rear-end traction of normal cars can do doughnuts well
