Yamaha joins a very Japanese-centric development programme for the Project V, which is no surprise given that Caterham is now owned by VT Holdings, a major Japanese automotive dealer.

The Project V will not only receive Yamaha’s lightweight compact electric powertrain but also its “technology and expertise in vehicle motion control,” said Caterham. No technical details have been released just yet, but for the record, last year’s concept was tipped to utilise a 272 PS rear motor and have a kerb weight of 1,190 kg , drawing power from a 60 kWh battery.
As for the Project V, that car is expected to be juiced by a 55 kWh battery that provides a range of 400 km on the WLTP cycle. It will also utilise a carbon fibre and aluminium construction to save weight and feature a novel 2+1-seat layout for increased rear seat room as an alternative to a conventional 2+2.displayed at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show .
