    Fifth Gear: Caterham Seven 260 and Lotus Exige S

    Two exceptional machines from the UK. The launch control on the Exige S seems absurd while its traction control is my type of traction control. The Caterham, wow, what a no-frills machine! The only traction control is dependent on the driver's right foot. Good times!

    Thanks for the vid! My Exige S doesn't have ANY form of traction control what so ever

    The Caterham, be careful what direction it is pointed when you unleash it!

    Mike S, really? Maybe it was a recent addition.

    Anyone here ever driven or rode in a Caterham before?

    The US spec ones all come with TC - I think it is compulsory for them to have it to be brought in?

    I also notice this a much more advance system than the old TC. This is one of the "newer" spec Exiges (black instrument cluster etc.).

    If you ever considered a Caterham, but thought it needed a bit more motivation:
