CES 2026: Longbow Motors shows off its Speedster EV with Donut Lab's in-wheel motors

Longbow Motors' Speedster EV to be a Game Changer in Electric Vehicle Market

When it comes to electric vehicles, many people find them dull and uninspiring. However, Longbow Motors is set to shake things up with its new Speedster EV, which boasts cutting-edge technology from Donut Lab's innovative in-wheel motors.

The Speedster's design is a bold departure from traditional electric vehicles, with a sleek and aerodynamic body that exudes a sense of speed and agility. The roofless design provides an open-air driving experience, but it also means there is no protection from the elements. This lack of protection may limit its appeal to some buyers, but Longbow's co-founders Daniel Davey and Mark Tapscott are undeterred.

"We wanted to create a classic car that was both modern and compelling," said Davey. "We've achieved this by using Donut Lab's in-wheel motors, which provide unparalleled performance and handling."

The Speedster's in-wheel motors are a key feature of its design, as they eliminate the need for a traditional drivetrain. This allows Longbow to create a more streamlined car with improved aerodynamics, resulting in better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

In terms of performance, the Speedster is set to be a real showstopper. With its advanced in-wheel motors and lightweight body, it's capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds. That's supercar-like performance that will surely turn heads on the road.

The Longbow Speedster will be available for purchase starting at Β£84,995 (approximately $100,000 USD), with a left-hand drive version also offered to buyers who want the ultimate open-air driving experience.

While the price tag may be steep for some, Longbow's commitment to innovation and performance is likely to appeal to enthusiasts who are willing to pay top dollar for a unique driving experience. With its cutting-edge technology and bold design, the Speedster EV is set to be a game-changer in the electric vehicle market.
 
πŸš— I think the Longbow Speedster's lack of protection from the elements could be a major drawback for some buyers 🌞🚫. While it does provide an open-air driving experience, that also means you'd have to deal with rain and sun beating down on you while driving 😬. It's gonna be interesting to see how they address this issue when people start buying the car πŸ‘€.

The design is straight fire πŸ”₯ and I love how they've taken inspiration from classic cars to create something modern and fresh.

idk about this longbow motors speedster ev... it sounds like just another overpriced toy car 🀣 3.5 sec to go from 0-60mph? that's not even close to supercar performance lol, and you're charging Β£84k for it?! that's just crazy πŸ˜‚ people need to get a grip, electric cars are supposed to be more affordable and practical, not some luxury item πŸ€‘ what's next? paying Β£100k for a toaster? 🍞️
 
i gotta say, i'm low-key hyped about this thing πŸš€ but at the same time, Β£84k is straight insane πŸ’Έ like, what's next? Electric cars with champagne flutes and a personal chauffeur πŸ˜‚? i mean, if you're gonna pay that much, might as well have a full suite of luxury features, right? πŸ‘‘ on the other hand, the lack of protection from the elements does seem like a major drawback for some people...i guess it's all about what you value in a driving experience, bro πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
omg i'm so down for this new speedster ev πŸš—πŸ’¨ it's like they took all the fun of riding with the windows down and put it into an actual car lol! don't get me wrong, it's not just about having the roof off, it's the whole vibe of the thing... it's like a cross between a sports car and a convertible 🌊 but with way more tech under the hood. 3.5 seconds from 0-60mph? that's insane! i'm definitely tempted to splurge on one (but like Β£84k is a lot to ask for πŸ˜…)
 
I'm so stoked about Longbow Motors' new Speedster EV!!! πŸš€πŸ’¨ It's like, I've been waiting for someone to come out with an e-vehicle that's actually cool and fun to drive. The roofless design is a bit of a risk, but I think it'll be totally worth it for the sense of freedom it provides.

I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on this one... maybe even adding it to my dream car list πŸ’Έ
 
I'm so hyped about this new Longbow Motors Speedster EV! πŸš€ The fact that it has an open-air design but no roof protection is kinda meh for some people, but I think it's gonna be a major selling point for those who want that supercar feel πŸ’₯. And can we talk about the performance? 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds?! That's insane 🀯! The fact that they used Donut Lab's in-wheel motors is genius, it's like they're flying down the road ✈️.
