Caterham Project V Teases Rear Ahead Of July 12 Debut

Caterham Project V Teases Rear Ahead Of July 12 Debut

Caterham has released a new teaser for the Project V EV, giving us a glimpse of the vehicle’s rear. The British automaker has also shared a short video showing a bit more of the body. The Project V will make its debut on July 12 and will be on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, starting on July 13.

The rear of the Project V features prominent oval-shaped taillights, while the roof has a rounded shape. When viewed from the side, the vehicle has arching fenders, and the front nose has large inlets in the lower corners. However, the teaser image only reveals the horizontal running lights, and the main lamps are not visible.

 

Based on the teasers, it appears that the Project V is a two-seater, and the rear seat might be cramped if it exists at all. Unfortunately, there are no images or videos showcasing the cabin or dashboard layout.

The look of the Project V was created by Italdesign. Unlike Caterham’s classic Seven models, this one features an actual roof, and the brand claims that it showcases their new styling language.

Caterham has not yet disclosed any mechanical details about the Project V, except to mention that it features a fully electric powertrain. Given the brand’s reputation for building lightweight vehicles, it remains to be seen whether the EV can maintain the low mass seen in their previous offerings.

After its debut at Goodwood, the exact date of the start of Project V deliveries is still unknown. Additionally, the price of the model has yet to be revealed.

Caterham began teasing the Project V shortly after unveiling the EV Seven, a one-off proof of concept. The EV Seven is equipped with an electric motor producing 240 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. With this power, it can reach 60 miles per hour in just 4.0 seconds. Impressively, the EV Seven weighs only 154 pounds more than the existing combustion-powered Seven 485.

In April 2023, Caterham began moving to a new 54,000-square-foot headquarters in Dartford, Kent, England. This new facility brings together all production, engineering, motorsport, and commercial employees under one roof. The company aims to increase production by 50 percent, to around 750 cars per year.
