At first I thought that was a neat idea. With no driveshaft hump and room between the front seats a real, live human would fit. Then I saw the photos from the Top Gear article. Looks like no room between or behind the seats so that's a from me.

Need a fuzzy seat delete option and a cargo net and tray to be actually useful.

There is talk that the next Cayman will be EV and the 911 will be hybrid, and much of the industry is moving to EVs, so Caterham is trying to beat everyone to an "affordable" sporty vehicle, and in this case, to a sports coupe that lives up to that title--light weight and good power-to-weight. I'm a huge fan of the Design-1 from Jannarelly, and Jannarelly's involvement into this design seems obvious. It definitely ticks a lot of boxes for me. If the price was right, I would be interested. As it stands, I would have to drive the car to know if it was worth the money, but I would also consider waiting to see what comes from larger manufactures once the EV market matures. In the end, this might be too bare bones and too exotic in materials to have much direct competition at this power/weight/price. And that is my rub with figuring out what this car is all about. I think many manufactures are using this market change to attract investors, get government grants and/or to rebrand themselves. What is Caterham trying to do?

The electric SEVEN went up the hill. Unfortunately in the rain. I've found no sign of any videos of it as yet.

Yeah, I have been looking too and nothing so far. Even looks like a camera on the rollbar

Jannarelly took inspiration from previous Caterham concepts mostly.

The previous design was the Caterham C120 on a common platform developed with Alpine for the A110.
Caterham did not had enough money to complete the project but Alpine (Renault) did with a design inspired by the original A110 from the sixties/seventies. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/bri...-car-never-was |
