Caterham / Lotus other than the Lotus name... well I dont know where or how to position them given they ran as Lotus.
But Toyota were a proper set up from scratch sort of project that included building its own engine IIRC

IMO, Team Lotus would be considered the most recent newly established team (their only link previous is with name).
Super Aguri should also be considered in any reference to establishing a
new team.
