Transcript: Per InsideEVs, British startup Longbow, founded by former Tesla and Lucid executives, has just unveiled the prototype for its first electric sports car—the ultra-lightweight Speedster. Only 50 of these sleek, two-seater models will be made, priced at $111,700. It weighs just under 2,000 pounds and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds, with an impressive estimated range of 275 miles.

Deliveries won’t begin until 2027, as the first year of production is already fully booked. The Speedster features no windshield, channeling classic open-top racers, though a more conventional version called the Roadster is coming soon. The Roadster will be mechanically identical, slightly heavier, and a tenth of a second slower to 62 mph — but it’ll cost less, at around $85,400, and offer an extra 5 miles of range.

Longbow’s approach is all about performance through lightness, taking inspiration from heritage British sports cars while going all-in on electric. Both models will be made in the UK and offered in right- and left-hand drive versions, with sales starting in the UK and Europe next year.
