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

EXPLORE THE CONCEPT

This is phenomenal…

...to recap, 272PS, 4.5 second 0-62 time, 250 miles WLTP range… those are the numbers I want to hear for an electric sports car

Jack Scarlett, Fully Charged Show

Project V could be one of the first EVs to crack the electric sports car enigma

...underpinned by the pure, simple engineering that defines the brand.

EVO Magazine, July 2023

Possibly the most convincing case for an EV sports car yet.

Cam Tait, PistonHeads

Project V’s silhouette has been determined exclusively by what’s underneath.

The result is a car with flowing lines, and minimal overhangs.
