Longbow’s Electric Sports Cars Shaping the Future of Speed and Lightness
Longbow is rewriting the rules of electric performance. This British marque dares to do the opposite in a world where EVs keep getting heavier and more complex.
The Speedster and Roadster, Longbow’s debut duo, aren’t about chasing outrageous power figures. They’re about agility, purity, and rediscovering the thrill of the open road.
Longbow calls its cars Featherweight Electric Vehicles (FEV), a name that defines its philosophy. Where most EVs weigh over two tonnes, Longbow’s Speedster weighs just 895kg, with the Roadster following at 995kg.
This extreme weight-saving approach, achieved through a bespoke aluminium chassis and a relentless focus on eliminating excess, transforms the driving experience.
Less mass means sharper responses, quicker reflexes, and a connection between car and driver that modern sports cars often forget.
Speed is one thing, but engagement is everything. Longbow’s machines aren’t built for straight-line dominance; they’re sculpted for the road, where every crest, camber, and curve matters.
A rear-mounted electric motor delivers 321bhp, catapulting the Speedster from 0 to 62mph in just 3.5 seconds, with the Roadster following closely behind at 3.6 seconds.
But the real magic will be in the way these cars feel perfectly balanced, responsive to every input, and designed to reward the driver’s skill rather than relying on software.
British motoring has always had a love affair with lightweight sports cars, from the Lotus Elise to the Jaguar E-Type.
Longbow channels this heritage into an electric future, proving that sustainability and exhilaration can go hand in hand.
No overcomplicated interfaces, no artificial sensations; just a tactile cockpit, analogue thrills, and an electric powertrain that enhances rather than dilutes the experience.
Every Longbow is designed, engineered, and hand-assembled in the UK. Rooted in high-performance automotive engineering, the brand brings together expertise from elite motorsport and the world’s most revered sports car makers.
Every detail is shaped by a dedication to precision, performance, and innovation.
With only 150 units of each model available, Longbow is offering something truly special: a rare chance to own a machine that bridges the past and the future.
With starting prices of £65,000 and £85,000, respectively, the Roadster and the Speedster are reminders that driving should be an experience, not just a function.
This pricing strategy positions Longbow as an antidote to the hypercar market, which often features exorbitant prices and complex technology that detracts from the driving experience.
Reservations are now open, with first deliveries set for 2026. The only question is: Are you ready to drive the revolution?
