World’s Lightest EV Sportscar | Longbow Speedster

This video showcases the striking Longbow Speedster, an ultra-light electric sports car built by British startup Longbow and featured by Supercar Blondie. Weighing just around 895 kg — far lighter than most modern EVs — the Speedster represents a radical reinterpretation of electric sports car design, blending lightweight agility with modern powertrain engineering. The car is engineered on a bespoke aluminium chassis and achieves performance figures that put it in competition with some of the best sports cars, including rapid acceleration and an estimated WLTP range around 275 miles. Founded by former industry engineers, Longbow aims to revive the spirit of lightweight British sports cars like the Lotus Elise and Jaguar E-Type while using advanced electric architecture to deliver both performance and efficiency. Scheduled for limited production with only about 150 units initially and entering the market around 2026, the Speedster combines old-school driver appeal with next-generation electrification. This video gives viewers an up-close look at the design, build quality, and engineering philosophy behind one of the most exciting new entries in the EV sports car segment. It’s a must-watch for EV enthusiasts, automotive engineers, and anyone fascinated by frontier electric vehicle innovation. (YouTube)
