After the company announced an alliance with <a href=&quot;http://www.autoblog.com/tag/renault">Renault</a> <a href=&quot;http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/05/renault-teams-with-caterham-to-revive-historic-alpine-brand/">yesterday</a>, Caterham Chairman Tony Fernandes was quoted as saying the partnership is "the start of a line of products from Caterham." Fernandes went on to say the purist sports car manufacturer could move to begin producing crossovers and city cars in the same way that <a href=&quot;http://www.autoblog.com/porsche">Porsche</a> has evolved its position in the market. Don't start crying at the thought of a five-door Caterham just yet, though. The would-be product explosion may also include the addition of a new supercar.<br /><br />CEO Graham Macdonald has said he envisions the brand as being capped with a halo project, complete with a <a href=&quot;http://www.autoblog.com/tag/carbon fiber">carbon fiber</a> chassis and <a href=&quot;http://www.autoblog.com/tag/kers">KERS</a> system on board. Of course, none of this translates directly into a new model on the road. As of right now, Renault and Caterham have only agreed to produce one vehicle under their budding partnership.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href=&quot;http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/06/caterham-to-expand-beyond-sports-cars-city-cars-cuvs-possible/">Caterham'>;http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/06/caterham-to-expand-beyond-sports-cars-city-cars-cuvs-possible/">Caterham to expand beyond sports cars; city cars, CUVs possible</a> originally appeared on <a href=&quot;http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Tue, 06 Nov 2012 14:15:00 EST.
