Ex-Tesla Engineers Unveil Lightweight Speedster

A British startup, Longbow, founded by former Tesla engineers Daniel Davy and Mark Tapscott, has introduced a demonstrator model of their Speedster, a lightweight electric vehicle.

The EV landscape is dominated by heavy cars, with even compact models like the Kia EV6 weighing over 4,000 pounds. Longbow aims to change this by focusing on performance through simplicity and lightness, inspired by Colin Chapman's ethos:

simplify and add lightness
.

The Longbow Speedster and its upcoming closed-top sibling, the Roadster, promise to deliver blistering performance without the weight.
