Let's kick off with a thunderbolt – Caterham is no longer purring, it's humming! With their all-new electric sports car, Project V, Caterham has sparked a new era, blending the traditional adrenaline-inducing sports car vibe with clean, green, electric vehicle technology.

Listen up, gearheads, this is going to make your oil-pumping hearts jolt with joy. So, what's the big buzz about Project V? Well, it’s about to waltz into the Goodwood Festival of Speed, flaunting a sizzling 268 hp from a 200-kilowatt motor. Does it pack a punch? You bet. Picture the sleek silhouette of Project V racing from 0 to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds! No, it's not as quick as the Tesla in your neighbor’s driveway, but trust us, this is no gimmick.

The beauty of Project V isn’t its straight-line speed, but its nod to Caterham's core values. This eco-friendly rocket is light on its feet, weighing half as much as your average family electric sedan. Chief Designer Anthony Jannarelly took the reins, meticulously designing a lightweight machine that doesn’t rely on digital wizardry to deliver a thrilling ride. Rather, its allure lies in its simplicity, power, and remarkable agility.

Step inside Project V, and you'll be greeted by a cockpit that’s as minimalistic as a monk's bedroom. Its 2+1 seating arrangement, two round digital gauges, and low-mounted rocker switches echo a clear message - "Driver, you're in command." Yes, there's a fancy infotainment system, but no array of buttons to interfere with your driving. It's just you, the road, and the thrill of chasing the horizon.

Now, before you start waving your checkbooks in the air, take a breath. Project V is still a few years away from the showroom floor, with its debut expected around late 2025 or early 2026. But here's the best bit - the iconic Caterham Seven isn't being shoved into retirement. Project V aims to harmonize with the Seven, preserving Caterham’s legacy while venturing into new frontiers.

Who said electric cars couldn’t be fun? With Project V, Caterham is forging an electrifying path towards a sustainable future without sacrificing the heart-stopping excitement that only a sports car can provide. The automotive world is evolving, and we’re positively charged to see where this journey takes us next!

Yours truly,

Captain Electro
