Tesla Model S
The Tesla Model S is the only electric car on this list of the greatest sports cars ever. That being said, if this list is remade in twenty years, there’s a good chance there’s going to be at least a couple of electric cars that make it. The change to vehicles has been felt and is only going to continue. Gone are fuel guzzling V8s and V10s. The future of power is more likely to come from hybrids and electrics. Internal combustion engines will continue to shrink and those that remain will almost all be supercharged or turbocharged.
The Model S is currently the crowning achievement of the Elon Musk future tech empire. In addition to being able to work as a bonafide sports car, it’s prepared for the future of self-driving cars and comes equipped ready to be converted.

Power All the Time
One of the benefits of an electric car is that 100% of the power is available at all times. Traditional combustion engines will provide the most power at specific rpm ranges. Since the Model S can give you all of its power right away, it can accelerate at speeds that similar cars can only dream of. The Model S claims a 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds, but there are reports of it managing a time around 2.5 seconds. This is thanks to the many electric engines that manage to produce a grand total of 532 horsepower. That’s more than enough to make the driver scream out in joy as they accelerate.
Charging
what is the weakness with the Model S? It provides you with power and space to feel comfortable. The weakness is the weakness in every electric car. The range without charging is limited. The range in the new model S is supposedly up to 337 miles. Now, this is under ideal conditions traveling. It’s known that electric cars perform worse inconsistent cold temperatures. For now, it’s best used only in the southern United States, but the hope is that things will improve allowing year round use everywhere with maximum efficiency.
