With a 268bhp electric motor, rear-wheel drive and a kerb weight of just 1190kg, the Project V signals a new era for caterhamcars -

The Project V’s performance isn’t of the neck-snapping kind we’re used to from electric performance cars, but it’s quick by any other measure. With a single 268bhp electric motor powering the rear wheels, the Project V completes the 0-62mph sprint in 4.5sec and runs on to a top speed of 143mph. Since the motor has a relatively modest output, it doesn’t need an enormous, heavy battery to achieve a respectable range; with a 55kWh capacity, the Project V achieves 249 miles from a single charge.

With its stripped-back ambience, button-free steering wheel and bare carbon dashboard, the Project V’s lightweight ethos carries through to the interior, which uses a digital instrument pack and a smartphone-mirroring touchscreen for multimedia functions. Thankfully, there’s a call-back to tradition with a bank of physical dials and toggles below the central display – one of which switches between the Project V’s Normal, Sport and Sprint drive modes.
