Unfortunately for many, it is apparent that electric vehicles are a strong candidate to replace all gas and diesel cars soon. Many major car manufacturers seem to be preparing for the inevitable by distributing electric or hybrid models. With anti-pollution legislation being tightened and new carbon-dioxide limits due to come into force, it is no wonder that many people are worrying about their gas-powered cars and joining the trend of buying electric cars.
It seems unpreventable that soon the roads will be lined with silent, environmentally friendly electric cars. But if you are worried about how it’s going to affect high-performance sports cars and supercars, there is no need because there are several hypercar’s that are already in distribution that easily rival the high-performance, gas-powered sports cars and supercars of the present day.
The All-New Lotus Evija: Packed With 2,000 HP!
It only seems right to start with the beautiful all-electric Lotus Evija, with its four electric motors outputting a combination of 2,000 hp, a range of 250 miles and a top speed of 200 mph, it seems as though the Lotus Evija could put up a fair fight against any gas-powered supercar. Alongside the incredible horsepower and speed output, the Evija can also achieve 0-60 mph in less than 3 seconds! The Evija has pushed the boundaries when it comes to modern hypercar technology, unlike many of its rivals, Lotus have committed to a fully electric hypercar. The exterior body work of the car provides characteristics of an intense and high-speed race car, with its butterfly doors and large rear wings. Lotus claims that the Evija is the most powerful production car on the planet, and that means it does not come with a cheap price tag, in fact a price tag of $2 million would need to be paid to secure one of the 130 models made.
Drako GTE: A Family Sedan That Can Achieve 0-60 MPH In Less Than 3 Seconds
Do not be deceived by the Drako GTE’s four-door sedan shaped body. Underneath that, it’s a true hypercar. The Drako GTE relies solely on electricity and its four electric motors, which outputs 1,200 hp. The battery pack within the GTE is 90 kWh, which allows a range of around 250 miles. Even though the GTE is a four-seater, it can still reach 0-60 mph in less than 3 seconds and reaches speeds of 206mph. Not only that, but each of the GTE’s motors are paired to an individual high-capacity inverter specifically designed for the endurance of extreme performance. Due to the four independent inverters, driver inputs incur an immediate response with near zero latency. GTE’s battery is designed to supply the GTE’s four motors with 900 kWh of power for an incredibly joyous and exciting drive.
Can Aspark Compete With All The Other HyperCars?
You probably haven’t heard of it yet, but in the future, the Aspark Owl will more likely than not be a familiar and respected name. The Aspark Owl has promised a 0-60 mph in less than 2 seconds combined with 1,480 lb-ft of torque from its four electric motors and a top-speed of 200 mph. The Aspark Owl will be manufactured by Japanese engineering firm, Aspark, although the car will be built by Manifattura Automobili Torino in Italy with Aspark trying to achieve the goal of the fastest accelerating electric car.
The New Tesla Roadster Is Going To Exceed 250 MPH?
Last but certainly not least, the new Tesla Roadster is literally too good not to mention! Tesla have promised 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds, top speed of over 250mph and an astonishing 600-mile range. These seem like numbers that are way too good to be true and still feel alien, but the Tesla Roadster is rumored to hold a huge 200 kWh battery pack. The design of the new Tesla Roadster creates a more powerful and aggressive feel, with bodywork that flows over the top and front wheels, a low grille and the moldings in the front bumper, which flow down from the headlights to provide the elegant yet aggressive feel. Aerodynamics have also been taken into consideration, with the body curving inwards between the front and rear wheels. You’d think a car of this power and speed would only cater for one driver and one passenger, but you’d be wrong, the car is set to have four seats for all the family to enjoy.
So, for all you gas-powered loving car enthusiasts, it may seem heart-breaking that gas-powered vehicles are soon to be discontinued and set to be replaced with electric vehicles. Although it may still be an upsetting scenario, there’s no need to worry. Gas-powered cars will never be forgotten, especially the high-performance sports cars and supercars. While gas-powered supercars may not be made far into the future, it is evident that their spirit will live on within these electric hypercars. So, if this is what are being made presently, then surely, they are only going to get better, more powerful, and faster!
