Do you enjoy the powerful sound of an atmospheric V8 engine or do you prefer the boost of a turbo? Perhaps this question will soon be a thing of the past, as the supercar world too embraces electrification. But what does this transition mean for the future of high-end automobility? At Louwman Exclusive, we are at the forefront of this transformation, where innovation, luxury and sustainability come together to create a new definition of driving pleasure. On to the future!
Experiment
Several supercar brands have already experimented with the concept of an electric supercar. Back in 2012, for instance, Morgan unveiled the Morgan Plus E, an electric version of the classic Morgan Plus 8, which was eventually cancelled in 2019.
Unlike Morgan, Pininfarina successfully launched the electric Battista in 2020, priced at $2.2 million. Despite these developments, leading manufacturers such as McLaren remain reluctant to actually bring an all-electric supercar to market. Many brands do see the future of electric supercars, but are stuck with the concept rather than production. The main reason for this is battery performance and weight.
