Buckle up and get ready for a wild ride as we take a look at some EVs with the fastest 0-60 times on the market for under £100,000. From electric SUVs to sleek sports cars, these vehicles are sure to leave you breathless.
Looking for an adrenaline-pumping ride that’s also eco-friendly? Look no further than the world of electric cars. With instant torque and lightning-fast acceleration, these EVs will leave you breathless in seconds. And if you’re in the UK, you’re in luck – we’ve rounded up the fastest and most exciting electric cars on the market, all available in pounds sterling.
The fastest electric cars are out of reach for most people. If you want to dream, the McMurtry Spierling is the car for you. This car managed to hit 0 to 60 mph in 1.4 seconds, that’s just silly and good luck getting hold of one with a price tag of over £820,000 for a production version! The Aspark Owl is one of the fastest electric cars in the world too, with a 0 to 60 mph time of just 1.72 seconds and a price tag of around £2.5 million. And if you want to feel the wind in your hair while going at warp speed, the Rimac Nevera can take you from 0 to 62 mph in a mere 1.85 seconds, but its cost is likely to be similarly eye-watering!
Of course, these cars are out of reach of all but the filthy rich. But there are still ways to get the thrill of driving a fast electric car without spending a fortune. For poor me, that has to be turning on the PlayStation or Xbox and loading up a car racing game, but if you’re looking for an electric car that’s both fast and somewhat affordable, there are a few options.
So what are the ways to get the thrill without breaking the bank? Check out these vehicles according to EV Database, with the quickest 0-60 times that are available for purchase in the UK:
