MEET PROJECT V
An Electric Sports Coupé

Tradition is often misunderstood. In reality, it means something very different. It means to honour a great idea whilst continuing its evolution. Project V is a bold new design, Caterham's vision of the near future, seen through the lens of the Seven itself.

A timeless silhouette

"A Caterham Seven’s design is simple and minimalist, it’s designed for its intended function, to be lightweight and fun to drive. With Project V, we’re applying this philosophy to the sports coupé architecture to create a seducing and timeless silhouette. Every single feature has to justify itself from a weight perspective to maintain lightness and optimise driver engagement".

- ANTHONY JANNARELLY, CHIEF DESIGNER
