The Caterham-Lola SP/300.R, or simply SP/300.R, is a track-only, open roof car designed by Caterham Cars alongside Lola Cars. The SP/300.R is a limited edition with limited production to 25 per annum.
The car is based on the Lola B08/90 Sports 2000 car and features an aluminium alloy monocoque chassis, that is shared with the Lola B08/90, which means that it is significantly lighter than its steel tube frame rivals. Caterham turned to Lola for their CFD expertise in designing LMP cars to help design a body that is inspired by LeMans Prototypes.
