Caterham has announced that they will introduce a brand new model, unrelated to the Seven, at the Autosport International show in January.

The car will use a brand new engine as well, designed in-house by Caterham, and will be built alongside the Seven. Caterham says the car “marks the beginning of a new dawn for the Company, but one that remains true to the lightweight, minimalist DNA of the legendary Seven and will complement its continuing global success.”

While we don’t know much in the way of official details, Caterham does say it will be a “logical expansion to the Company’s racing and trackday portfolio”, so we can assume it will still be a track-focused car of some sort.

British sportscar maker, Caterham Cars, will introduce an entirely new model to its line-up at next month’s Autosport International Show.

The latest addition to the renowned Caterham stable marks the beginning of a new dawn for the Company, but one that remains true to the lightweight, minimalist DNA of the legendary Seven and will complement its continuing global success.

Powered by the next-generation Caterham Motorsport engine, the model will provide a logical expansion to the Company’s racing and trackday portfolio and open an exciting new chapter in its future.

The new model makes its world debut on Thursday, January 13, 2011, at the Autosport International Show, NEC, Birmingham.
