V. This all-electric principle has been revealed by , a name that is associated with light-weight set . But fear not! Regardless of the British maker now taking the step towards electric, it still stays true to its roots. You see, while the Project V may be a hardtop , this is set to be among the lightest cars and trucks on the market, weighing less than 1,200 kg! So let's take a closer look at Job V. When it comes

to the design. In advance, there are numerous big vents including a grille, while there's also a single windscreen wiper that reminds us of the McLaren P1! Have a look around the rear and it looks really smooth, with an easy style that looks both contemporary and retro. Believe the exterior doesn't seem typically ? Well, wait till you step inside! You'll find comfy seats, soft-touch products throughout, and an incredibly cool dual-dial digital driver display screen. In the centre of the control panel, there's an infotainment screen, but the good news is all controls for the are managed with physical buttons. The shape of the automobile even enables area for a single seat in the back! When it concerns efficiency, Caterham is clearly concentrating on weight instead of significant efficiency figures. As a result, the single electric motor is expected to produce 270hp, and it's most likely to hit 60mph in around 4.5 seconds. So what do you believe- could Task V be a game-changer when it's launched in 2026? Let us know in the

    I remember watching this when it was still more of a concept, I was so wishing they’d bring it to life and I’m so happy that they’re showing intent😢🔥

    Finally a EV sports car manufacturer not obsessed with power and 0-60 times, I love the concept of lightweight and sacrificing crap not needed in a sports car.
    A true sports car is developed around how it feels and drives.

      a true sports car is a fast car, if a car does 0-60 in 10 seconds it dont matter how it feels or drives, ur getting gapped by the bus at the lights.

      ​@IRSDid you watch the video? They say It’s gonna do 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds which is still bloody fast, expecially considering it will ‘only’ have 270 HP.

      @IRS 0-60 times are a pretty poor measure of how well a car drives

      Honestly it’s nice to see any manufacturer prioritize lightweight over more power, regardless of EV or combustion. I’m not sure why they have forgotten that with lightweight comes more speed AND handling. Rather than just stuffing more ponies under the hood and getting some speed but losing the ability to handle.

    I really like how they implemented the electronic gauges.

      Other than burning your eyesight especially in the dark, sure, it’s well implemented.

      @Max Meierhave you ever been in a car with a screen at night? They have this amazing feature called ‘dimming’

      Rear lights don’t look good and the rear end is flat. The rest of it is very good.

      @TheDarkFenix It’s not because the grill looks a little similar that it is a copy of the MC20

    This car peaks my interest a lot actually. I came in with the mindset that it’s just another electric car, sure it’s probably going to be fast, but just another boring electric. I think this looks very, very promising. The design itself is very pretty in my eyes. I also love how they kept normal mirrors and didn’t cave in to the whole, everything has to be electric thing. If I had the money and this goes to production pretty much as is, I would 100% buy it.

      I’m honestly surprised when they say the price is around 80k, not more than 100k.

    What a fantastic design. The interior more so. Physical, separate climate control and the gauges. Chefs kiss. Still going to be out of my price range and I’d be surprised if it even came to NA anyways but just looks fantastic.

    Awesome concept. This is something exciting to have a simple driving machine in the EV space. This could pave the way for things like electric Miatas and so on in the future. Not everything needs to be 2 tons, 700hp, awd with massage seats.

    its the first EV of recent days that is actually good looking, practical and light. Looks good for Caterham.

    I so hope that both Lotus as this Caterham do really well in this EV era. Lightness and drivability is lost to most/all mainstream brands which is then amplified by them making EVs, brands that DO focus on those two things might just end up doing really well.

    An absolutely stunning design. Always been an admirer of Caterhams and if they can stay as close to this design as possible and keep it within budget then I think they’re on to a winner. Keep up the good work!

    The first time I saw this concept I immediately thought, “Please don’t make it over $100k!” Now that I know it’s supposed to be affordable I’m VERY interested. I love everything about this.

      there’s no defining “affordable” tho… affordable to me is not the same as affordable to a millionaire 😅

    If Caterham can hit this price-point they have a customer in me – holy crap I love it!

    This Caterham guy is great. Knows his stuff, is passionate but also, no BS. Talks about stuff he doesn’t like and stuff that’s superfluous. Nice to see a manufacturer front someone with personality!

      Put his foot in his mouth tho. Look ag his regret when matt was like ‘you heard it, it’s going to have the same interior materials’😭😭

    I hope this opens the doors to Caterham making higher performance models to follow this one. The age of EVs needs brands like this giving styling cues to other bigger brands for what the people really want I LOVE that gauge cluster.

    Truly a beautiful car. And a great example that an EV doesn’t have to be a shapeless blob like most are now.

    We definitely needed someone to make a super fast, lightweight car, where “range” isn’t the priority but rather performance is. Smaller battery packs can charge extremely quick and would be beasts on autocross courses.
