Rediscovering The Range #4: Seven 485

Next up is the 485, it's a big step up from the 275 and is the fastest production car we have ever built in Europe.  We're here to explain why this has its sights set firmly on the track.

The 485 is through and through a track car in any variant.  The uprated power unit helps propel you quickly to the next corner, and provides instant acceleration on the way out.  This is supported by the inclusion of a limited-slip differential as standard and sticky Avon ZZS tyres. Thing is, if you want a little more refinement from your chassis and you aren't going to be on track most of the time.  We'd suggest you take a look at the 485 CSR. 

On to the statistics. 

Has that not won you over? Okay, well let's run through a few more details.  This particular model has around 23 more PS that the UK's Seven 420, and accesses that at a dizzying 8,500 rpm.  Unlike the 275, this follows suit of other models and comes in only S and R variants - however the pack offerings are slightly different to both the UK and the 275 options. 

More manageable than a 620, and faster than a 420. What more could you want?

How would we have ours?  

Definitely in 'R' form, with the uprated brake master cylinder option.
