British car imprint Caterham launches a look at its new concept dubbed the Project V. It has a single electric motor mounted at the back and offers 268 BHP that gives the car a fast MPH time from 0-62 within 4.5 seconds or less. The estimated top speed is 143 MPH and has a range of 249 miles. In order to achieve this is due to the help of a carbon fiber and aluminum composite chassis.
Project V is meant to be a back-road car and track-day vehicle. Bob Liashley, the CEO of the company explains that “An electric Caterham of any shape and size has to stay true to what sets us apart from everyone else: being lightweight, simple and offering an unparalleled driving experience; that’s our DNA.”
