Caterham Project V EV on track for 2027

Inside its forthcoming Project V electric vehicle, Caterham is piecing together what it hopes will be a straightforward, fun EV. The exterior was designed by Anthony Jannarelly with the Lotus Elan in mind. The powertrain eschews complexity because simplicity is what the Caterham audience is looking for, whether in a classic like the Seven or this new type of Caterham for the electric era.

Caterham has released its target specifications for the Project V. These include a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time under 4.5 seconds and a 143 mph (230 km/h) top speed. A 55-kWh battery pack will provide an estimated 249 miles (401 km) of range (WLTP mixed). Expected price will be around 100,000 pounds ($135,000).
