Caterham is a great little car company, having stuck to its guns for decades that expose you to the elements. Now, the company is and even a new concept car that comes with a roof. Revolutionary.

The British automaker that fitted its iconic Seven chassis with batteries and electric motors. But that car was just a glimpse at the company’s plans for its electric future. Now, we’ve been given a few more details about Caterham’s electric ambitions.

Those ambitions take the form of the Project V, a concept car that will be fully unveiled at next week. The new concept isn’t just a rework of the Caterham Seven, instead, it’s an all-new, all-electric coupe that has been dreamt up by Caterham chief designer, Anthony Jannarelly.

As well as a roof, the new car will also feature futuristic lights at the front and rear, another , and space for a bit of a trunk at the back.

But other than the details we can pick up from these teaser images, Caterham has remained tight-lipped on the new car and hasn’t shared any details about the Project V.

At its stand at the festival, Caterham will display a show car manufactured by engineering and design firm, Italdesign. When the show car breaks cover, we hope Caterham can tell us more about the electric motors and batteries that will power its new car, as well as the steps it has taken to keep its weight down – as a heavy Caterham sounds about . Oh, wait.
