LONDON: Caterham will unveil its first working prototype of Project V at the Tokyo Auto Salon on Jan 9, 2026.
Displayed alongside exhibits from development partners Yamaha Motor and Xing Mobility, the prototype is being utilised for testing and evaluation as the brand works towards full scale production.
Following the assembly of the prototype at the Tokyo research and development (R&D) facility in Japan, the development vehicle is now undertaking both the initial powertrain evaluation of its Yamaha Motor e-axle as well as chassis durability work.
This prototype also enables further testing of the CTP battery system, which features cells that are immersed in a dielectric liquid for optimum cooling through rapid and uniform heat dissipation.
This innovative approach offers unmatched thermal stability for exceptional energy density, safety and performance.
Elsewhere, in partnership with Xing Mobility, the original Caterham Project V EV (electric vehicle) sports coupé concept show car will make its United States debut at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Jan 6, 2026.
Caterham Cars CEO Kazuho Takahashi said, “This is a significant milestone in the development of Project V. Our objective remains unchanged: to realise our vision of a pure electric sports car that embodies the unmistakable DNA of a Caterham.”
