5 sexy electric cars we should be driving, from the Aston Martin Rapide E to the Tesla Model 3
Boasting awesome design, eye-watering price tags and plenty of power, these exclusive electric speedsters – including the 2020 Porsche Taycan and BMW i8 Coupé – won’t fail to impress die-hard petrol heads
When you think of an electric car, you might imagine something like a Toyota Prius – a vehicle that’s highly functional, blissfully silent, but not exactly sexy.
But if you think all electric vehicles are like that, you’d be mistaken. Here are a few sexy electric cars that will make you revisit everything you thought you knew about electric cars.
BMW i8 Coupé
BMW’s stunning i8 Coupé is a leap into the future for electric cars. It’s sporty inside and out, with precise queues and scissor doors on the exterior, and a carbon-fibre interior upholstered with the finest leather.
But the i8 Coupé isn’t all style – it also boasts impressive power. It can go from zero to 100kph in 4.4 seconds and has a powerful electric engine. Sure, it’ll cost you almost US$150,000 to get behind the wheel of one of these sleek electric cars – but in this case, the hefty price tag might actually be well worth it.
Rimac Concept_One
The Concept_One has been called the fastest electric car in the world, reportedly able to go from zero to 100kph in just 2.6 seconds and reach speeds exceeding 320kph. Rightfully dubbed a hypercar, just about anyone who drives the Concept_One says it’s the fastest car they’ve ever driven.
The Concept_One is more than just fast – it also looks stunning, marrying elegance with forward-thinking innovation. We’ll put it plain and simple: very few cars can do what the Rimac Concept_One does.
2019 Aston Martin Rapide E
James Bond loves his Aston Martins, but he’s not yet had the chance to get behind Aston Martin’s stunning first foray into electric vehicles. The Rapide E is sporty, aerodynamic, and even more powerful than its gasoline-powered counterpart, the Rapide.
