British sportscar-makers establish subsidiary in the country
Recognising the growth and enthusiasm in motor sport here, British sportscar makers, Caterham Cars, have established a subsidiary in India.
The announcement was made at the Buddh International Circuit during the inaugural Indian GP.
The brand’s Indian subsidiary will be headed by the Burman brothers, Mohit and Gaurav, promoters of Dabur India Ltd, and the racing and track day activities will be supervised by British car racer Matt Cummings. In time, Caterham Cars also plan to introduce their CDX driving experience and factory-backed racing series, Caterham Academy.
Caterham Seven, the company’s first sport car, was launched in 1974 and still has a strong demand. It is built around a Lotus engine and has evolved over the past 37 years. The Seven has been appreciated by enthusiasts for its low cost, performance and handling. Caterham Cars India will initially introduce the Seven and their new SP/300R sportscars here and are also looking at assembling them in India in the future.
