Is this car a Porsche 911 killer?

Say hello to the lightest electric car in the world!

Meet the Project V. This all-electric concept has been unveiled by Caterham, a name that is synonymous with lightweight kit cars.

But fear not! Despite the British manufacturer now taking the step towards electric, it still remains true to its roots.

You see, while the Project V may be a hardtop sports car, this is set to be one of the lightest cars on the market, weighing less than 1,200kg!

So let’s take a closer look at Project V. When it comes to the design. Up front, there are several large vents including a grille, while there’s also a single windscreen wiper that reminds us of the McLaren P1! Take a look around the rear and it looks really sleek, with a simple design that looks both modern and retro.

Think the exterior doesn’t seem traditionally Caterham? Well, wait until you step inside! You’ll find comfortable seats, soft-touch materials throughout, and a super cool dual-dial digital driver display. In the centre of the dashboard, there’s an infotainment screen, but thankfully all controls for the car are managed with physical buttons. The shape of the car even allows space for a single seat in the back!

When it comes to performance, Caterham is clearly focusing on weight rather than significant performance figures. As a result, the single electric motor is expected to produce 270hp, and it’s likely to hit 60mph in around 4.5 seconds.

So what do you think - could Project V be a game-changer when it’s released in 2026? Let us know in the COMMENTS!
