The collaboration will debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon from January 10 to 12, 2025, where both Project V and Xing’s Immersio CTP system will be showcased.

Caterham is known for its lightweight design and driving dynamics and is currently taking a bold step into electrification with Project V. Xing’s Immersio CTP system is designed to enhance performance by integrating cells directly into the battery pack, improving energy density and reducing weight. The system has been custom-built to complement the Project V design and employs Xing’s immersion-cooled technology, ensuring safety and stability during high-speed driving and rapid charging.

“As a longtime Caterham 7 enthusiast and owner, I am thrilled that Xing Mobility is contributing to this transformative chapter in Caterham’s history” said Royce YC Hong, Founder and CEO of Xing Mobility. “Their iconic philosophy of ‘Simplify, then add lightness’ aligns perfectly with our commitment to innovation, simplicity, and efficiency. This collaboration celebrates shared values and bold visions, and we are proud to help bring Project V to life. Together, we’re redefining what it means to deliver a driving experience that is pure, exhilarating, and unforgettable.”

Project V has captured global attention as a symbol of Caterham’s evolution into electrification since its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK in 2023.
