1 day agoCES 2026: Longbow Motors shows off its Speedster EV with Donut Lab's in-wheel motors
A British high-performance electric roadster achieves an astonishing 2,200-pound curb weight using Donut Labs' advanced in-wheel motors.
EV sports car upstart Longbow wants to "add lightness" with its first two-seater launching next year. The first model is the Speedster, of which only 50 units will be made, followed by the more affordable Roadster. The company states that the first year of production has already been allocated, but it has yet to confirm when deliveries will start. Earlier this year, Longbow, a startup founded by former Tesla and Lucid executives, announced plans to develop small electric sports cars. This week it unveiled its first working prototype for the vehicle that it wants to start manufacturing next year.
