Caterham is unveiling Project V, a new all-electric sports car, on July 12 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Like the Seven, the company's roadster based on the original Lotus Seven, Project V is a lightweight, rear-wheel drive sports car. Unlike the Seven, it's fully electric and could arrive as early as late 2025.
Designed by Anthony Jannarelly, Caterham's new Chief Designer, Project V was intended as an electric vehicle from the start. Power comes from a 200-kilowatt motor mounted in the rear axle and paired with a 55-kWh USOC lithium-ion battery pack, giving it 268 horsepower and an estimated range of 249 miles. It will also recharge from 20 to 80 percent in 15 minutes using a 150 kW DC rapid charger.
