Everything you need to know about the new Caterham Project V sports car
This is the Project V, a new concept from Caterham that could signal a new chapter for the small British-brand. As the project progresses from concept to production reality, Caterham Cars has confirmed it is working with Yamaha to supply its e-axle technology.
Caterham Cars CEO, Bob Laishley, told CAR at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed: ‘We want this in production in 2026. For that reason, the Project V’s silhouette has been determined exclusively by what’s underneath. The result is a car with flowing lines, and minimal overhangs and a face not unlike Janarelly’s other creation,There are flourishes of design around the car, with Caterham’s chief designer also tapping into aspects of the old Lotus Elan. Kazuho Takahashi, president and CEO of VT Holdings and Caterham’s owner, has a soft spot for the old British sports car.
It looks as if the project is developing, given the announcement of the Yamaha partnership. As well as including a Yamaha ‘e-Axle’, Caterham says the production version of the Project V will include ‘vehicle motion technology’ from Yamaha. A prototype production model is also being developed and engineered by Tokyo R&D, and is due to be ready for testing in mid-2025.
