From the manufacturer's website: "The original R500 was legendary, with the old Rover K-series powered machine rewriting performance records for 0-60mph and 0-100mph times. This new variant has been equipped to supersede its predecessor by embracing the very latest in lightweight engineering techniques and technology. "
Stack's integrated instrumentation was Caterham's choice for saving weight compared to separate clocks and gauges. The display system combines an analogue tachometer with a digital display for the following parameters: vehicle speed, engine speed, oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature, fuel level, battery voltage with lap times as an optional extra.
