Yamaha's Going Electric, But Not In The Way You Might Think

Think back to 2023, if you can. Very specifically, do you remember the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed? That's where the very storied, very British car maker Caterham first showed off its Project V concept. It's both gorgeous and all-electric, and although it was clearly designated as a concept, the firm also said it planned to bring it into production in the future.

Reactions were mostly very positive, with many praising its design, both for its driver focus and its general aesthetic. And while you'll always have some EV skeptics, even that part didn't seem to be a major point of contention. Instead, those who were less enthusiastic were, quite reasonably, worried that the price of developing such a car might end up being more than Caterham's typical fans would want to pay. And that's not a bad question to ask, honestly.
