People planning to attend the MPH Prestige and Performance Motor Show next month may be impressed by the latest addition to the lineup.

Organisers have revealed the Caterham Superlight R500 is due to appear in the Top Gear Live section of the event.

Fans of the television programme may already know the model was voted the show’s Car of the Year in 2008.

Last autumn, the Stig took the wheel of the six-speed, two-litre vehicle and achieved a time of one minute 17.9 seconds around the Top Gear test track.

According to organisers of the MPH show, this performance "embarrassed" many "big ticket supercars".

The Caterham Superlight R500 boasts 520 bhp-per-tonne.

Motorists keen to attend the MPH Prestige and Performance Motor Show have the choice of two venues – the event kicks off at London’s Earls Court between November 5th and 8th, before moving on to Birmingham’s NEC from November 12th to 15th.

In other news, Caterham recently announced it will be exhibiting at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month.
