Every new electric performance car coming soon

It’s easy to get lulled into the argument that electric performance cars are boring, however, that is simply not the case.

Take the Hyundai Ioniq 5N, it’s won numerous awards, surprised lots of EV sceptics, and shocked much more expensive sports cars into its shadow.

Many other EV makers are trying to replicate that with their own spicy models, so which on this list do you think will be most successful?

Nissan GT-R

What?

It may have just finished production after 18 years, but the GT-R is not dead. It will be resurrected as a super high-power, super high-tech EV with a motor on each wheel.

When?

We should see it revealed and on the roads by the end of the decade. A long time, but prototypes will likely be spotted soon.

Price?

The previous GT-R was a reasonably priced hero, and the new one will still be relatively cheap, expect it to start in the six-figure range, but only just.

Range?

The emphasis will be on performance, rather than efficiency, but we still expect the new version to achieve 500km (310 miles) on a charge, potentially using solid-state battery tech.

Denza Z9 GT

What?

It’s easy to be sceptical of Chinese EVs, but this is a 710kW (952hp) shooting brake, so its seriously interesting. It’s big and heavy, but four-wheel steering will help keep it in check, alongside other suspension tech.

When?

We should see it in Europe by the end of the year, although it will be a bit later before the rest of the world, and it may never make it to North America.

Price?

Undercutting competition from Porsche (and its Taycan wagon) Denza will price the ludicrously fast Z9 GT (3.4sec to 100km/h) from just £80,000 (less than 100,000 euros).

Range?

Denza have told us 630km (390 miles) is what to expect, and if that is achieved in the real world we will be very impressed.

McLaren EV

What?

After years of telling us they wouldn’t produce an SUV, McLaren have finally given into the pressure. And, unlike the first from Ferrari and Lamborghini, this one will be electric. Expect it to be massively fast, capable and expensive.

When?

This isn’t a project they’re rushing to get out, so expect to see the car in 2028 when the market matures to expensive EVs a bit more – this is just a render for now.

Price?

Like rivals, this McLaren will be mega money, expect it to start at £250,000 (300,000 euros/$350,000) as a minimum.

Range?

To command respect in this segment, McLaren is aiming for at least 600km (375 miles) from every charge.

Peugeot 208 GTi

What?

After five years of silence, Peugeot’s legendary GTi badge is returning on the handsome 208. With 280hp and a 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time of just 5.7sec, it’s set to be the fastest GTi yet.

When?

Expect to see it in showrooms by the end of 2025.

Price?

The truly affordable hot hatch might be dead, but the new GTi is set to cost less than 40,000 euros (£38,000).

Range?

With the same battery as the standard E-208, around 350km (217 miles) will be on offer.

Mika Meon

What?

It’s apparently the lightest production electric car in the world, and has a beefy 215hp to back that up. It looks like a riot to drive.

When?

Deliveries will begin in Europe next year.

Range?

It only has a small battery, but that’s still good for 160km (100 miles) according to Mika.

Price?

Yes, £75,000 is a lot, but it’s unlikely you’ll see another.

MG Cyber GTS

What?

MG will produce a gorgeous coupe version of the Cyberster in a bid to bolster its premium and sporting appeal. Expect it to have a more laidback GT character, instead of being an aggressive sports car.

When?

A full reveal should take place later this years, with customers getting there cars in early 2026.

Range?

Being slightly more aerodynamic than the Cyberster, it should be good for 600km (375 miles) on a charge.

Price?

MG hasn’t disclosed a price yet, but it should be around 90,000 euros (£75,000).

Alpine A110 EV

The next-generation Alpine A110, due in 2026, will be lighter than combustion-engined rivals despite adopting an electric drivetrain.

Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo told Autocar that the company had made a “not rational” decision to “invest a lot of money” in a bespoke electric sports car platform for the next A110 and its derivatives – including a likely 2+2 version called the A310 – but it had “looked at Porsche for inspiration” in how to successfully build a sporting brand.

Expected deliveries: 2026

Ariel E-Nomad

This very green concept previews an 896kg (1975lbs), 210kW (285hp) electric performance off-roader.

British-based Ariel revealed this near-production-spec concept that previews an electric version of the Nomad 2, that was revealed in 2024.

Dubbed E-Nomad, the new car will provide similar performance to the ICE model while offering unique driving attributes, and it will only cost £10,000 more. It blends sports car with serious off road credentials, and it’s certainly a one of a kind on the market.

Expected deliveries: 2026

Aston Martin EV

Aston’s first EV was due in 2025, but this has now been pushed back due to low consumer demand.

When it arrives, expect a high-riding, four-wheel-drive electric GT which won’t directly replace the combustion-powered DBX. It will blend sports car and crossover in a similar way to Ferrari’s upcoming EV.

It will use four motors for a combined output of up to 1120kW (1500hp).

Expected deliveries: 2027

Audi RS6 Avant E-tron

Complete with one electric motor on each axle, expect the RS6 E-tron Avant to have far more power than the 463kW (630hp) current petrol version. This power is set to offset the inevitable added weight of its large battery pack, so a 0-100kmh (0-62mph) time of less than 3.0sec is highly likely. 

As demonstrated by the A6 E-tron, the PPE platform upon which this car will sit can accommodate a 100kWh battery pack, which is likely to deliver a range of 700km (435 miles) in this application.

Expected deliveries: 2026

BMW M3 EV

Derived from the next-generation 3 Series, the electric M3 will go on sale alongside a combustion variant, promising to reach new heights of performance and on-board technology.

Each major component of the electric drivetrain will be bespoke to the sporting division. The sporting brand has always used heavily reworked versions of standard BMW engines, and it will continue to use parts from its parent company as the basis for performance-focused electric systems.

BMW M CEO Frank van Meel recently told Move Electric's sister title Autocar that it will weigh more than the combustion-powered models that went before it, although will produce as much as 745kW (1000hp) to compensate.

Expected deliveries: 2027

Caterham Project V

Unveiled as a concept at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, it’s now been confirmed for production.

Completely unrelated to the Caterham Seven and built around a totally bespoke and all-new lightweight architecture, it is described more as a “small tourer” than an apex-hunting track car like its minimalist sibling. It categorically does not replace the Seven, although it has been designed with a rigid focus on the “simple, light and fun to drive” ethos that CEO Bob Laishley says must continue to define the Caterham brand into the electric era.

With a targeted real-world range of 400km (249 miles) and enough luggage space for a weekend away, it looks to provide everyday utility on a par with cars like the Alpine A110 and Mazda MX-5.

A single permanent magnet synchronous motor delivers 200kW (268bhp) to the rear wheels and is good for a claimed 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time of less than 4.5sec.

Expected deliveries: 2026

Ferrari EV

The world of electric cars might be a new one for Ferrari, but company boss Benedetto Vigna has promised that his first EV will be made "in the right way".

To make sure of that, it has already completed several thousand kilometres of on-road testing and the weight of its batteries will likely be stored deep within its chassis to keep the centre of gravity down. It will blend a sports car body shape with a higher crossover like ride.

Expected deliveries: 2026

Hyundai Ioniq 6 N

Hyundai's performance division is preparing its second model, the Ioniq 6 N, which will bring Porsche Taycan levels of performance and dynamic agility honed on the racetrack.

The car will have a very different exterior design to its regular counterpart. It will get wider wheel arches, larger alloys, red brake calipers, deeper side skirts, a larger rear spoiler and a more aggressive-looking rear bumper to suit the car's performance-oriented billing.

Riding on the same E-GMP platform as the Ioniq 5 N, the 6 N is likely to use an 86kWh battery to feed a dual-motor, four-wheel-drive powertrain that produces up to 480kW (641hp).

Expected deliveries: late 2025

Mercedes-AMG GT EV

The first dedicated electric car to come from Mercedes' performance division is likely to be the firm's most powerful road car yet, complete with a 745kW (1000bhp), quad-motor powertrain and four-wheel drive.

This will be only the fourth completely bespoke car Mercedes-AMG has launched, after the SLS and rest of the GT range.

Expected deliveries: late 2026

BMW Neue Klasse prototype

This slightly retro looking camouflaged BMW made headlined as fans hoped for an imminent production version to succeed where the innovative i8 left off.

Unfortunately, it is likely that it will remain a (working) concept, although it could see limited production as an ultra-exclusive special.

Expected deliveries: 2026

Aehra Sedan

The Aehra Sedan is a sleeker sibling to the Aehra SUV, with a more aerodynamic body that will supposedly allow a range of 800km (497 miles) between charges. Nailing the “basic physics” is the priority for the saloon according to engineering chief Franco Cimatti, who was previously responsible for developing Lotus’s EPA platform.

Expected deliveries: late 2026

Alfa Romeo 4E

The Alfa Romeo 4E will serve as a brand-building halo model amid the brand’s shift to offering solely electric cars. Product boss Daniel Guzzafame said a new Alfa Spider would become “within reach” once the brand has five EVs in its line-up, suggesting it won’t arrive until after 2027.

Expected deliveries: 2028

Alfa Romeo Giulia

The Giulia saloon will move onto Alfa parent firm Stellantis’s radical new STLA Medium platform as it goes electric. It will retain its sporting character, though, in Quadrifoglio spec, it promises to offer outputs of up to 745kW (1000hp).

Expected deliveries: late 2026

Alfa Romeo GTV

Alfa design boss Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos has confirmed that design work on a new coupé, inspired by the famed SZ, continues behind the scenes. He hinted that it could make production if the brand’s fortunes continue to improve under Stellantis stewardship and that it would likely be a variant of the Giulia.

Expected deliveries: 2028

Alpine A310

The rakish Alpine A310 of the '70s will be reborn as an electric GT, as part of the French brand’s expansion to a seven-car line-up. It will be based on the same Alpine Performance Platform (APP) as the next A110, due in 2027, but offer more practical 2+2 seating – loosely mirroring the relationship between the Porsche 718 Cayman and the Porsche 911.

Expected deliveries: 2027

Ariel Hipercar

The Ariel Hipercar certainly lives up to its name, packing four electric motors which combined to output a mammoth 1180bhp. It justifies its jet-fighter looks, too, with a gas-turbine range-extender that helps to keep its 62kWh battery topped up.

Expected deliveries: mid 2025

Audi R8 EV

Audi is set to base its follow-up to the R8 atop a bespoke EV platform that it's co-developing with Porsche. Work is said to be well under way on the new supercar, tipped to offer a greater power output than any other car in Audi’s line-up.

Expected deliveries: 2027

Audi TT EV

The petrol TT has now been retired, but work continues apace on its electric successor. Audi Sport is said to be in an “intense concept phase” for the small coupé’s next iteration, due to arrive within the next five to 10 years. Managing director Rolf Michl said its development is a “huge job” and added that “it will be different but emotional”. 

Expected deliveries: 2030

Porsche Cayman/Boxster 983

The next generation of the 2026 Porsche 983 Cayman EV will arrive within the year, set to adopt a bespoke electric sports car platform that is designed to mimic the current combustion cars’ mid-engined characters and that could go on to underpin future Audi and Lamborghini models.

The Boxster convertible will be the sister car to the new Cayman. Rumour has it that Porsche may modify both to fit a combustion engine in. If it does, expect it to be hybridised.

Expected deliveries: early 2026

Genesis GV60 Magma

The Genesis GV60 prototype isn’t camera-shy anymore.

In the third quarter of 2025, Genesis will start series production of its first high-performance model, the GV60 Magma. A performance-SUV with N technology, it could easily be mistaken for a hatchback thanks to the low body and ride height. The first prototypes have now been spotted in Europe and are out on the road for testing.

The Genesis GV60 Magma Concept celebrated its world premiere at last year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, and the production version may well be presented there this year.

In terms of performance, the GV60 Magma is speculated to have over 520kW (700hp). In addition to the aeroflaps on the roof, which are otherwise only seen on the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the GV60 Magma has a very sporty front end with large air intakes.

Expected deliveries: late 2025

Polestar 5

The new Polestar 5 will be launched in 2025 and is currently undergoing winter test drives near the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia. The design and performance of this 4-door GT clearly make it a Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan rival.

No wonder the prototype features a large carbon-ceramic brake system, as the Polestar 5 comes with 670kW (900hp).

In the dark, the impressive graphics of the tail lights immediately catch the eye. As with the Polestar 4, the Polestar 5 does not have a rear window, but instead has a camera installed for a view to the rear.

It is the first model to be built on a new scalable aluminium architecture that's bespoke to Polestar and has been engineered in the UK at the firm's development centre at Horiba MIRA.

Expected deliveries: early 2026

Jaguar GT (Type 00)

The electric four-door GT that will spearhead an all-new era for Jaguar will be revealed at the end of the year and go into production in the middle of 2026.

Jaguar boss Rawdon Glover said that the 1000hp GT is “right in the midst” of prototype testing on public roads, at JLR’s Gaydon proving ground and in the Arctic Circle as it gears up for launch.

Expected deliveries: late 2026

Alpine A390

The A390 is the French brand's introduction to the world of SUVs. Similar in profile to the Nissan Ariya - with which it shares a similar platform - it will become a rival to the Audi SQ6 E-tron and Porsche Macan Electric.

With 350kW (470hp) from a tri-motor setup, it’s a similar size to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and will cost from roughly 75,000 euros. Range comes in at 550km (342 miles).

Expected deliveries: late 2025

Picture: revealed production model

Porsche Cayenne Coupe EV

These are the latest and most revealing spy shots of the new 2027 Cayenne yet. Porsche has taken the Cayenne EV to the Arctic Circle for winter testing. The new Cayenne EV is long-awaited, but we’re expecting to see it late this year or early next year. As well as this coupe bodystyle, it will also be offered as a more traditional SUV.

Expected deliveries: 2026

Kia EV3 GT

The new performance model of the KIA EV3 has now been spotted for the first time. KIA had already announced that it would also be bringing out a GT of the EV3. This EV3 GT prototype can be recognised by the yellow brake callipers and the GT lettering in the headrests. The seats also have a unique design for the EV3 GT. All GT models from KIA have yellow brake callipers. A closer look at the air intake at the front also reveals a new bumper with a slightly different design to the EV3 GT-Line. The rims are unlikely to appear on the KIA EV3 GT in series production, as these are the new rims from the Hyundai Ioniq 6 facelift.

A premiere of the new KIA EV3 GT is not expected until the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

Expected deliveries: early 2026

Lamborghini Lanzador

The four-seat Lanzador concept is our first look at Lamborghini’s first EV, set to arrive in 2028. It’s hailed as a “laboratory on wheels” and features an abundance of sustainable materials, including Merino wool, recycled plastics and carbon strands.

Expect it to be related to the incoming Bentley urban SUV.

Expected deliveries: 2028

Tesla Model Y Performance

Tesla will launch the Model Y Performance, the most powerful variant of the Model Y ever, in 2026. Until now, there were only prototype photos of heavily camouflaged prototypes from California/USA, in which no details could be recognised, but now Tesla is testing the Model Y ‘Juniper’ Performance on the Nürburgring, showing itself almost without camouflage.

Although the bodywork is still camouflaged, the changes can still be recognised very clearly. The biggest change to the Performance is the rear spoiler below the rear window. The design of the rims is also not yet available on the Model Y and is similar to the rim design of the Model S Plaid. Performance brakes with red calipers on are also clearly recognisable. Inside, the Model Y Juniper Performance variant appears to have new seats, as the driver and passenger seats are both covered by a black cloth.

In terms of power, the Juniper Performance is said to have 461 KW, which corresponds to an output of 627 hp.

Expected deliveries: early 2026

Mercedes-AMG SUV

With 285/40 ZR22 XL tyres on the front axle and 325/35 ZR22 XL tyres on the rear axle, the AMG SUV has tyres the size of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. That suggests serious performance, and we’re expecting in excess of 745kW (1000hp) from the most powerful variants.

As well as this SUV, AMG will also be making a bespoke electric saloon.

Expected deliveries: late 2026
