For realistic options, the cars in the salary sacrifice section above start at 3.1 seconds to 62mph.

Is It Better To Salary Sacrifice Rather Than Buy an Electric Sports Car?

For many drivers, the answer comes down to tax, upfront cost and who handles the running costs, as the points below show.

  • Typical savings: employees typically save 20 to 50% on a salary sacrifice electric car compared with a personal lease, because payments come from pre-tax salary and zero-emission BiK is only 4% in 2026/27.

  • No large upfront payment: a single monthly cost replaces a deposit, which matters on cars costing £70,000 or more.

  • Included costs: insurance, servicing, maintenance, breakdown cover and road tax are part of the package, with tyres and home charging available as options.

  • Flexible terms: salary sacrifice agreements typically run for two to four years, so you can move to the latest model without taking on depreciation risk.

  • Employer support: many employers run a scheme at no net cost to the business, so check whether yours offers one through The Electric Car Scheme.

The BiK rate for zero-emission cars rises in stages, while the petrol and diesel maximum is already 37%. The table below sets out the schedule by tax year.

Which New Electric Sports Cars Are Coming Next?

Several electric sports cars are in development, though most manufacturers have yet to confirm UK prices.

Porsche 718 Boxster & Cayman EV (2026)

The iconic mid-engine sports cars are going fully electric, with Porsche ending production of the combustion versions. Built on a bespoke electric sports car platform, these models will: - Maintain the classic mid-engine feel with batteries positioned behind the seats

  • Offer a GTS variant producing over 400 horsepower

  • Deliver approximately 250 miles of range from an 80kWh battery

  • Feature active aerodynamics and a wider, lower stance

  • Start near £78,000, with GTS versions exceeding £100,000

Porsche ended combustion 718 production in October 2025, and its CEO has confirmed that the electric 718 will go into production in 2027. Power, range and pricing haven't been announced, so earlier figures circulating online should be treated as speculation.

Alpine A110 Electric Successor

Alpine is developing a new electric sports car on a bespoke lightweight platform:

  • Designed to be lighter than combustion rivals despite electric drivetrain

  • Potential 2+2 version (A310) under development

  • Expected to maintain Alpine's focus on handling and driver engagement

  • Starting price around £75,000

Alpine hasn't confirmed a launch date for the A110 successor. At the October 2026 Paris Motor Show, it showed the A310 Vision, a design study with no series plans, while the next A110 remains in development on the Alpine Performance Platform with two rear motors. Electric production is expected in 2027, but no UK price has been announced.

Polestar 6

This striking electric roadster follows the O2 concept design:

  • Hard-top convertible configuration

  • Dual-motor AWD producing 884 horsepower

  • Flagship luxury positioning at approximately £200,000

  • Represents Polestar's push into the ultra-high-performance segment

Polestar has delayed the 6 roadster again but says it hasn't cancelled it. No new launch date or price has been confirmed.

Hyundai IONIQ 6 N

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 N has been on sale in the UK since orders opened in January 2026, with up to 641 horsepower and 0 to 62mph in 3.2 seconds. It uses the same 84kWh battery size as the IONIQ 5 N, so it suits drivers who prefer a saloon shape.

Tesla Roadster

Tesla revealed its next-generation Roadster on 15 October 2026 and claims 0 to 60mph in one second, though TechCrunch reports that figure as a demonstration rather than a verified production specification. Tesla hasn't announced a price, and Elon Musk has said deliveries begin in 2028.

Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe EV [new]

Mercedes-AMG has launched its electric GT 4-Door Coupe range, with the GT 63 listed at 2.4 seconds to 62mph and a WLTP range of up to 432 miles. The entry-level GT 53 went on sale in Germany in August 2026 from €115,430, and UK deliveries are expected later in 2026.

Why Are Electric Sports Cars So Fast?

Electric sports cars have changed high-performance driving, challenging traditional notions of what makes a vehicle powerful. Today's electric performance vehicles match their petrol counterparts and often surpass them in key metrics like acceleration and responsiveness.

How Does Advanced Technology Make Electric Sports Cars Powerful?

The design of electric sports cars uses cutting-edge technology to achieve remarkable performance. Unlike traditional engines with complex transmissions, electric motors deliver instant torque: the key to lightning-fast acceleration. This responsive power delivery means electric sports cars can accelerate from 0-60 mph with remarkable speed, often outperforming premium petrol vehicles.

Modern electric sports cars integrate multiple advanced features that enhance their capabilities:

  • Dual or quad motor configurations for optimised power distribution,

  • Aerodynamic designs that minimise drag while maintaining stylish aesthetics,

  • Advanced battery technology that balances range with lightweight construction,

  • Sophisticated power management systems that maximise efficiency.

Five characteristics explain most of the advantage:

  • Instant torque from zero rpm

  • Direct power delivery without a complex gearbox

  • Precise torque vectoring to individual wheels

  • A low centre of gravity from floor-mounted batteries

  • Simpler powertrains with fewer mechanical losses

Together, these traits let even family-oriented models, such as the Kia EV9, deliver quick acceleration, and they're why electric car range and performance can coexist in the same car.

Leading luxury brands have invested heavily in developing powerful electric vehicles that combine eco-friendly operation with premium performance. For example, manufacturers like Porsche and Tesla offer high-performance models that showcase how electric powertrains can deliver both impressive speed and efficient operation.
