The Superlight R400 is a further development from the Superlight R300. While still built around Colin Chapman’s ethos of “add lightness”, the R400 adds a further ingredient – horse power. All unnecessary comforts remain absent to save weight and reduce mass, and the additional power means that the R400 breaks the 400-bhp-per-tonne barrier. The result is a car that still delivers driving thrills at their purest, with performance capable of humbling supercars and thrilling drivers.
