Beyond the already crazy idea of racing non-stop for a full day, the 24 Hours of Le Mans is pretty insane. Setting it all up requires investing a substantial amount of time, money, and material resources, both for the teams and for the organizers.

The fourth-generation Ford Fiesta inaugurated the Sigma engine in 1995, but the four-cylinder is better known for powering numerous Caterham models since 2007. Its time between the Seven’s fenders is coming to a close: The limited-edition Caterham Seven 310 Encore is the brand’s last Sigma-powered car. It’s head-turning, it’s quicker than its specifications suggest, and it’s headed to the American market. Buyers have six colors to choose from, and each one gets a fun name.
