Caterham will show its first electric car later this year.
sports car, did not reveal specs for the upcoming Caterham EV, but gave some strong hints at the car's overall design.
“Like the Seven, it will have a steel spaceframe—but a different one—because they’re easy to modify in production if you need to," Jannarelly told."It will have a six-panel enveloping body in aluminum or carbon fiber: two sills, two doors plus clamshell openings front and rear. It will be prettier and more modern than a Seven—those will be big points of distinction—and maybe it will have a roof. We’re designing it as a pure EV from the start, with rear drive only.
Jannarelly says Caterham is working with Italdesign in Turin to bring the car into the modern era. It's unclear whether this new model will occupy a bigger footprint versus the British company's impossibly tiny Seven roadster. Electric vehicles are notorious for their weight, but Caterham has remained focused on cutting heft to improve driving pleasure.. “What everybody loves about the Seven is that it’s a simple car that just works, and even if we’re making an EV, we will try to apply the same philosophy. It’s very simple. There will be no fancy features. The main thing is your enjoyment in driving this car.
