Some of the fastest cars on the planet are now powered by electricity. These are the best ones right now, along with the most anticipated
The first electric car to wear Audi's RS initials is, deep down, the Taycan in a different suit. It uses the same powerful electric motors and the same three-chamber air suspension and, of course, the underlying architecture is shared. As such, the battery pack is also carried over, meaning a WLTP range of up to 285 miles with the potential for 350kW ultra-rapid charging.
The bald statistics are somewhat mind-numbing. Lotus itself was recently surprised to find that the car's four motors together deliver 2011bhp, rather than the 1973bhp it had previously quoted. That acts against 1680kg, which is relatively light in EV terms, so performance will feel like freefall, we imagine. Actual performance figures are thin on the ground, but Lotus expects a sub two seconds time for the 0-62mph sprint and a top speed the naughty side of 200mph.
Yet there's more to it than just statistics, because the Battista handles with surprising delicacy and poise too, feeling every bit as thrilling through the corners and it does down the straights. It even managed encourage our inscrutable editor-at-large, Matt Prior, to laugh out loud when he sampled it on track, which says a lot about its considerable abilities.
The hardware is compelling, if somewhat eye-watering. The car is built around a composite tub, and there's an electric motor for each wheel, with independent single-speed gearboxes at the front and two two-speed dual-clutch 'boxes for the back axle. The aim is to ensure the Nevera can make the most of its 1888bhp and, more important, its mountainous 1696lb ft.
