Caterham's betting everything on Project V—a $135k EV roadster landing stateside in 2027
Caterham is shipping its first electric sports car to the U.S., a stripped-down two-seater built on a new platform they're banking on refining for the next thirty years. The Project V ditches the Seven formula entirely—no tubular frame, no donor parts—and aims at purists who want lightweight handling without apologizing for going electric. It's either visionary or a Hail Mary from a kit car builder that finally got tired of living in Lotus's shadow.
Caterham selling a $135k EV in 2027 is either perfectly timed or the moment they realized the donor-engine well had run dry.
