Possibly the most convincing case for an EV sports car yet - providing it gets built...
Welcome to a very different sort of Caterham. As you can clearly tell, this isn’t a Seven. It isn’t even a Seven derivative with wheel arches and roof welded on. Nope, it’s a three-seat, fully-electric sports coupe called Project V – and it points to the British marque’s first new road-going production car in three decades.
It's a pretty-looking thing, isn’t it? Given that the Seven has always majored on function over form, chief designer Anthony Jannarelly has somehow managed to create a look that’s distinctly Caterham with precious few cues to draw upon. “The key thing with this car was not to over style it, because that's, I think, a signature from Caterham”, he told PH.
So, the elephant in the room. Project V has been designed from the ground up to be an electric car. Combustion engines aren’t on the cards, nor will they ever be. And although Caterham recently unveiled the, combustion power remains a big draw for its buyers - and most PHers. Caterham isn’t trying to win us over with ludicrous power and acceleration figures, however; rather it’s fixated on delivering a driver experience that’s solely focused on engagement.
Then there’s the way the car is packaged. Rather than stuffing the batteries directly under the cabin, lowering the centre of gravity but raising the driving position, Caterham has instead split the battery into two locations: one behind the passenger compartment and the other below the legs of the occupants. That means your backside will be as close to the floor as it would in any other sports car, only your feet will be slightly raised – similar to the driving position in a single-seater.
