The Caterham 7 Fireblade is powered by a 900 cc Honda motorcycle engine with built-in gearbox. Because most motorcycles don't have reverse gears, the drivetrain on this car is configured to allow all six forward gears to become reverse gears, allowing theoretical reverse speeds of up to 200 km/h (125 mph).
