Where will the next electric sports car come from?
A lot of us assumed a new generation of Tesla Roadster, on a new platform (perhaps derived from the Model 3) would be it. And it still could happen. However. . . That seems to have been pushed onto the back burner for completely understandable business-and-marketing reasons. It's not something Tesla need in order to advance and grow their business now.
There are some super-exotic, hand-built sports cars for the super rich. . . like the Rimac Concept One or the LIghtning GT. There are a few shops doing custom conversions of gas cars, like the electric Ferrari or this Mustang. However, these are not realistic options for most of us. I mean, the Tesla Roadster itself was a stretch for many of us, and beyond the reach of many others. Something even more exotic and costly isn't the answer I'm looking for here.
So what's it going to be? Where is it going to come from? I've been watching for any company to announce another electric sports car -- pure BEV, not any sort of hybrid, and not a mere "concept car" that'll never actually be produced. Have I missed any? Anybody care to speculate about which car maker will go there?
