Top 10 electric sports cars of 2024
Electric motors are a great match for performance cars, because they offer instant response so even mundane cars can feel pretty rapid. The number of true electric sports cars is rather limited – you could argue the MG Cyberster is the only one – but there are plenty of high-performance EVs that you could consider.
Here, Carwow’s expert reviews team has brought together the very best electric performance cars on sale in 2024. These are not just fast electric cars, these have all been given upgrades to improve their performance beyond merely being quick in a straight line…

If you’re looking for the ultimate electric performance car it has to be the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Yes, it’s quick, with up to 650hp and a 0-62mph time of 3.4 seconds. However, it’s the mechanical upgrades that allow it to make the most of all that power on a twisty road that makes the Ioniq 5 N so impressive. You get all-new suspension, big brakes and sporty styling designed to keep the battery cool so you can have fun for longer. It’s a seriously impressive bit of kit.

Again, like most electric cars, the Porsche Taycan is quick whichever version you go for. However, the Taycan continues the Porsche tradition of being brilliant to drive, whatever the body style. That’s why this sleek, relatively practical saloon sits so high on this list. Sure you can get more range or a bigger boot elsewhere, but if you want a car that’s comfortable most of the time but puts a smile on your face when you want to have fun, it’s tough to beat.

Outstanding EV Award
Battery range up to 436 miles

The Tesla Model 3 was already one of the best electric cars you can buy, but a fairly comprehensive update in 2023 made it quieter, more comfortable and better to drive. The new Performance model has 460hp, which is more than enough power to have fun and the Model 3 handles sweetly in corners. What’s more, despite all that power you get an impressive official range of 328 miles.
Battery range up to 361 miles

The Kia EV6 GT is an SUV-sized electric car, which means it’s practical and has a spacious cabin, but most importantly for this list, it’s also brilliant to drive. That’s true of all versions, but it’s the GT we’re looking at here – with 585hp it’s very quick in a straight line, but crucially it’s also pretty good fun in corners.
Battery range up to 374 miles

The Audi e-tron GT is mechanically similar to the Porsche Taycan, but offers a more understated, sophisticated appearance - and in RS form, ballistic performance. It’s not quite as fun nor capable in corners as the Porsche, but it’s fantastic for demolishing motorway miles in comfort. It’s a bit of a shame, then, that like the Taycan it doesn’t have the best range.

The regular MG4 is one of the best-value electric cars you can buy. In turn, the sporty MG4 XPower is probably the best-value electric performance car. For the price of a good petrol hot hatch, you get 435hp and all-wheel drive, contributing to a 0-60mph time of 3.8 seconds – as quick as a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. It is a bit of a shame, then, that there have been no suspension upgrades over the regular car, so the XPower isn’t quite as impressive in corners as it is in a straight line.
Battery range up to 316 miles

The MG Cyberster is a proper electric sports car – it’s a low-slung convertible with sleek styling that’s a really classy interpretation of MG roadsters of old. It’s not the best car for driving hard on a twisty road, because it’s quite easily unsettled by bumps, but for enjoying a countryside jaunt on a summer’s day, it’s a lovely thing. It’s comfortable, fairly spacious (despite the small boot) and has a decent range of up to 316 miles (or 276 miles in the 510hp GT model).
Battery range up to 164 miles

Like the idea of an electric sports car but miss the sound of a combustion engine? Abarth has you covered with the 500e. This little hot hatch comes with a speaker under the car that mimics the sound of a petrol engine. It’s a fun little gimmick that gives the car a quirky character to go with its suitably shouty looks. The range is poor and there’s not much space inside, but the Abarth 500e doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is a genuinely endearing trait.
