All-new British electric sportscar manufacturer Longbow has introduced the world’s first Featherweight Electric Vehicle (FEV), redefining lightweight performance with its Speedster and Roadster models. Inspired by iconic British sportscars like the Lotus Elise and Jaguar E-Type, Longbow is about beauty, agility, and cutting-edge engineering in an all-electric package.
Weighing under 995kg, both models utilize a bespoke aluminium chassis for maximum stiffness and minimal weight, delivering an exhilarating driving experience. The open-top Speedster weighs just 895kg, accelerates to 62mph in 3.5 seconds, and offers a WLTP range of 275 miles.
Only 150 hand-built examples will be produced, starting at ₤84,995. The Roadster, a closed-cockpit variant, reaches 62mph in 3.6 seconds at a starting price of ₤64,995, with limited editions available.
Founded by industry veterans from Tesla, Lucid, and X Shore, Longbow’s mission is to revive the essence of driver-focused sportscars in the electric age, with UK-based handcrafting and expertise from Formula 1 and Formula E.
