Team Lotus Enterprise Announces New Ownership of Caterham Cars.

Lotus buys Caterham Team Lotus Enterprise has announced that it has purchased British sportscar maker Caterham Cars.
The acquisition of Caterham Cars by Team Lotus Enterprise will not only signal the continued development of the legendary Seven, but will provide Caterham with the platform to apply its philosophy of 'adding lightness' to exciting new models for the 21st Century.


As custodians of Colin Chapman's two-seater Seven since 1973, Caterham has been responsible for the evolution of a car originally conceived as a 'fit for purpose' racecar for the road in 1957.
Today, the Seven is arguably the benchmark for the perfect balance between power and intuitive, user-friendly handling, and in spite of its years remains one of the most raced cars in the world.
It has also been the inspiration for the recently launched Caterham-Lola SP/300.R for the race and track day community.

Team Lotus Enterprise today announces that it has purchased British sportscar maker Caterham Cars.This exciting new era for Caterham will be led by the company’s existing management team, headed up by Caterham Cars Managing Director Ansar Ali.

This acquisition is a huge step for the company. But the true advantage of this can be seen in the results.

I hope that the new management lives up the billing and what is expected of them. The new management should start a new winning tradition.
