Much of the Seven 360R's dashboard has been inspired by Puma HC2 helicopter's cockpit
A unique Caterham Seven 360R has been built with parts from a retired Air Force helicopter. The one-off sports car will be auctioned off by Collecting Cars in September. Power comes from a 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated Ford Duratec with 180 hp. A classic Caterham Seven and a helicopter used by the UK’s Royal Air Force don’t share much in common. Indeed, they couldn’t be more different.
Beneath the skin is a Desert Sand-colored chassis. A particularly cool feature of the car is that the aluminum skin from the Puma’s tail boom and doors has been used for the 360R. It even rocks the helicopter’s door jettison handle. The special touches continue in the cabin. For example, quilted soundproofing from the helicopter has been used on the door panels, tunnel top, and padding for the carbon fiber seats.
