Executive rocketship promises electrifying performance in more ways than one; there’ll be fully electric and plug-in hybrid versions
MG Cyberster GTS
If you’re after something a little nostalgic, the Cyberster GTS might be the electric car for you.The launch of this hard-top version of the Cyberster roadster comes 60 years after the MGB GT first went on sale. Expect the GTS to be every bit as fast as the roadster, but more practical, not only due to its metal roof, but also thanks to the addition of two small rear seats.
Peugeot e-208 GTi
For hot hatch fans, the ‘GTi’ initials stand for ‘good times imminent’, and this is their first time on an electric Peugeot.With 276bhp on tap, 0-62mph reportedly takes 5.7sec. Meanwhile, in an effort to ensure the handling doesn’t let the side down, the GTi sits 30mm lower than the regular e-208 and gets tweaks to the steering and brakes with the promise of more feel.
Porsche Boxster and Cayman EVs
The electric replacements for the Boxster and Cayman sports cars will differ from most EVs by having their batteries behind the driver instead of under the floor.This puts them where the engines used to be in an effort to deliver the same balance and allow the driver to sit low.
