Nice, there's certainly
plenty of electric cars to choose from now, and more on the way.
I'll start looking at them when I know I can drive one on vacation,
pull in to charge it fully and be back on the road in a matter of a few minutes
like can be done with gas engines. I think eventually we will get to that point.
I think there are about as many positives as negatives with electric cars,
one of these days the positives will outweigh the negatives.
Not trying to be a Debbie Downer here, just my thoughts.
Caterham Project V …
Caterham has revealed Project V, a lightweight fully-electric coupé concept vehicle that has the potential to arrive in late 2025 or early 2026. Designed as an electric vehicle from the start, Project V is the creation of new Chief Designer, Anthony Janna...
Do you remember the Caterham 21 from the early Nineties?
I see / feel some similarity to the new one If they add all that lightness, and cleverness to the EV Caterham and CAN'T sell it for "less than 80 thousand pounds" then they won't be selling too many. That's my prediction. Mike ...
Hi Mike …
I looked at a Caterham 21 last week being serviced and having some refreshments. The sills are very wide, similar to a GT car from the race track. I think there is demand for this car if they can bring the car to full production in a reasonable time frame...
I saw this, but is it going to be road legal?
Will it be road legal in USA as a "car?" Will the car be crash tested? In the USA, this might only be road legal if imported in as a "kit car." I do like the low weight though! And the Double wishbone suspension is another big check mark! But I'd want som...
Okay! Sounds great!
Hopefully it'll be safe. Airbags? Crash tested? Euro N Cap Gold Star Rating? Sign me up! Hopefully it's a fully compliant "road car" in USA and not a "kit car" in the USA. Kit cars don't have to conform to most of the USA safety regulations, whereas a "ro...

I think it’s a just a mind shift …
I run electric cars in the week and enjoy something petrol at the weekend. Thanks for your input
Another beauty from Italdesign. Very questionable and debatable that today's electric cars are any greener than modern ICE vehicles. Unless Caterham has some serious tricks up their
sleeves that weight prediction seems very optimistic and unlikely. My MX-5 can be "recharged" from 1% to 100% in half the time providing another 300 miles of travel. Top speed is the same. 0-60 does take 1 more second in the MX-5 but it's price is 50% les...
The range of a sports car should be your bladder holding capacity, not measured in Kilowatts or Gallons
That's my 2 drops and I'm sticking with it! My Caterham's range was about 100 miles when "driving in anger" Saw it at the Historic races in 1998: Saw an advert 9 months later - went and brought it home! Only drove it once with the hood and doors on, just ...
I know that feeling …
Both for accumulating cars and enjoying a Caterham. I think I’ll try and avoid the heart attack…. despite the bills along the way 😉 ...
