The 620S is one of the most powerful cars in Caterham’s roster. But what is it like to drive? Jack Evans finds out.
With Caterham’s traditionally focused approach to lightweight methods and some serious firepower under the bonnet, the 620S could be a genuine alternative to a high-powered sports bike. But what is it for and what’s it like to drive? We’ve been finding out.Switch to the R and those leather seats are switched out for carbon-fibre bucket versions, while the suspension is upgraded to a more circuit-ready setup.
But that’s not really the ideal driving scenario for the 620S. No, extra speed is what this Caterham wants and when delivered, the 620S brings a truly involving driving experience. It’s that inherent lightness which shapes the feedback you get from behind the wheel, ensuring that every corner can be taken with real verve. Naturally, the engine delivers whenever you need it to and, providing you’re smooth with your gearchanges, it’s not hard to get the 620S up to speed in a flash.
However, for drivers after that true feeling of connection to the machine they’re driving, the 620S will feel like home. It’s a mad, slightly unhinged car, but it’s all the better for it.
