Seriously, I just want an EV Sportscar. Give me something Z car sized, RWD and no extras.

EV Miata please. With 4 wheel drive and a power hard top convertible.

I would love this so much.... with the RF body cuz I think it looks sexier. Too bad Mazda is basically just anti-ev or rebadging other people's hybrid platforms.

The closest thing to that is the Ioniq 5 N, which has a mode that simulates shifting and pipes vroom vroom noises through the speakers to simulate revs.

It's honestly the only electric that's appealing to me, mainly because of the shifting and the vroom vroom. And even then it's too big.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Agreed on all points.... I'm glad the 5N exists, but it's not what I want.

RWD is silly on an EV. You can have four motors, one for each wheel, which will give you torque vectoring and other features. Trust me, additional Gs in turns are way more fun than skids.

Sports cars are silly. I know what I want. And it's a overpowered RWD sports car.

EDIT to add stuff... I already have an AWD ev, and a FWD EV. The FWD is terrible, not only does the high torque overpower the low rolling resistance tires, but.... just like an F1 car is crazy over powered, I want appropriate digital nannies, fat tires and all the stuff I had with my previous sports cars and motorcycles.

Regular AWD is not the same as EV AWD with independent motors. Four motors also allow you to turn your car into either RWD or FWD with a press of a button, but you'll have half the power ofc.

The MG cyberster seems promising. I'm drivng the MG4 and I rely like the car.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Sure... great... I'm in the states though, so... 🤷

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Kia ev6 gt. Seriously, go drive one. And even better than rwd, it's AWD (if you actually care about performance more than burnouts)

I have, and the Ioniq 5 N.... they are great.... I'm glad they exist, but not what I want.

EDIT: My friend has a bright red Model S plaid, and it was one of the most insane things I've ever driven. But being honest with you, The Model 3 Performance was more fun. Which is how I got to this point. Give me a 2-door, rwd over powered sports car. Please and thank you.
