Caterham Project V Electric CoupeCaterham Project V Electric CoupeCaterham Project V Electric CoupeCaterham Project V Electric Sports CarAdhering to Caterham's minimalist design philosophy, the Project V sports car is simple and lightweight, weighing approximately 1,190 kilograms or about 2,623 pounds. Built around a carbon fiber and aluminum composite chassis, it uses a fully adjustable front and rear double-wishbone suspension and electrically assisted power steering.
The Project V show car uses a unique 2+1 seating layout with an optional 2+2 configuration. Caterham says this layout optimizes comfort for the rear seat passenger and provides greater flexibility of use. Upfront, the dashboard is refreshingly minimal, with two round digital gauges in front of the steering wheel. A series of rocker switches mounted low on the center console allow the driver to change between Normal, Sport, and Sprint modes which adjust the acceleration, suspension, and steering.
According to Bob Laishley, CEO of Caterham Cars Ltd, Project V is more than a design study or concept. The development team conducted engineering and production feasibility studies throughout the development process. "Project V fulfills our ambition to sustainably grow the company and explore electrification simultaneously," he said."Subject to the next phases of development and technical capability, Project V could be brought to market towards the end of 2025 or early 2026.
