Power comes from an EU6 compliant evolution of the 2 litre / 122 cui Ford Duratec motor which produces 237hp at 8,500 rpm. The steering wheel is said to be focused on driver functionality.

The Aero Seven Concept will be the first Caterham to feature traction control which should help the car accelerate from rest to 62.5 mph in less than four seconds.
