Caterham Seven designed by Japanese F1 driver Kamui Kobayashi

The Caterham Seven Kamui Kobayashi special edition will be limited to just 10 examples and would go on sale in Japan at ¥6 million per piece (S$73,972).

Based on the 125bhp rated Seven 250 R, the Caterham is packed with an array of performance focused features, hand chosen by the Formula One driver.

The Ford sourced 1.6-litre Sigma engine can accomplish the century sprint in 5.9 seconds and continue to climb to a maximum 196km/h.

The exterior is finished in high-gloss black with matt black sport stripes. Every Kobayashi edition wears a number 10 badge on its nose - the number of the Japanese F1 driver.

The front wings and rear wing protectors are finished in carbon fibre infused with a unique Caterham green lacquer, the first of the Seven models to offer this finish.

The single seater features an aluminium tonneau cover over the passenger seat area. A matching single sided rollover hoop is fixed to the rear bulkhead, with all new 13-inch diamond cut black wheels. There is also a polished chrome rear exit exhaust system to complete the dynamic styling.

Inside, occupants are greeted with a carbon fibre dashboard detailed with Caterham green lacquer, which will be personally signed by Kamui. The carbon fibre constructed sports seat contains contrasting green stitches while a Kamui logo on the head rest and a green Takata branded four-point harness can also be found.

Other features include special Kamui gauge inlays, an anodised green gear knob with Kamui word mark and an anodised green key.
