Caterham

Yamaha has been working with storied British carmaker Caterham on its new electric sports car. Dubbed the Project V, it is finally here. And not only is it coming to America, but it is coming for Porsche.

Although best known for its bikes, Yamaha is working on a rather gorgeous-looking electric sports coupe with Caterham EVo. The concept debuted last year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and promises 268 horses for its impressively low curb weight.

British automaker Caterham Cars is well known for its Caterham Seven sports car, which is closely based on the classic Lotus Seven. Now, however, the company has announced its plan to make an experimental electric version of the car.

From howling flat-sixes to thunderous twin-turbos, classic convertibles to cutting-edge coupes, there's been something for gear heads of all persuasions to drool over in 2016. Check out some of the best sports cars launched this year.

Caterham cars might have different engines under the hood, and they might use modern materials, but they are still inextricably linked to the original Lotus Seven. New Atlas took a trip to the company's headquarters in Crawley, UK, to find out what the brand is all about.

Caterham Cars has lasted over six decades by delivering a series of lightweight sports cars. By sometime next year, buyers of the company's iconic Caterham Seven may have the option of an even lighter-weight model incorporating the butted tube technology used in bicycles.​

Although Caterham is certainly best known for its race cars, last year it branched into motorcycles and e-bikes. Continuing that trend, this month the British company announced its new line of good ol’ human-powered Duo Cali bicycles.

American devotees of the Caterham brand got a little love this week as the car maker presented two new models for the US market at Monterey Car Week. The Seven 480 and 360 are the latest variant on the classic, minimalist Caterham Seven sportscar introduced four decades ago.

For over fifty years Caterham has been known for its purpose-built sports cars and motorsports activities. This week, however, the company announced that it will be expanding its product offerings to that of the two-wheeled variety.

Caterham has taken its Seven CSR chassis and turned it into the Caterham AeroSeven Concept. Unveiled last week at the SingTel Singapore Grand Prix, it uses technologies not found previously in a Caterham and is intended to give the public an idea of the design of future models.

This weekend, at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Caterham Cars is unveiling the slightly mad Caterham Seven 620 R; the most powerful Seven to date.

The Cholmondeley Pageant of Power (CPoP) turned on its annual kaleidoscope of horsepower adrenalin and engineering intrigue this week - the gallery is a wonderful pictorial celebration of CPoP.
