Performance-Driven: The Fastest Accelerating Electric Cars in 2024

Electric vehicles are more than just eco-friendly—they’re exhilarating machines that pack a punch. With their near-instant torque, these #EVs are among the quickest to accelerate, redefining what it means to be fast. Here are the top five fastest accelerating electric cars you can lease in the UK.

Porsche Taycan Turbo GT: The Apex Predator?

The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT is the ultimate track machine, a title rarely given to a four-door car. With up to 1,018 bhp and 915 lb.-ft. of torque, this beast rockets from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 180 mph. On a full charge, you can cover up to 344 miles.

Opt for the WEISSACH Package, and you’ll shed 70 kg by omitting the rear seat, analogue clock, foot and boot mats, and some insulation. You’ll also get a fixed rear wing that significantly boosts downforce to 220 kg. These tweaks shave the 0-62 mph time down to 2.1 seconds, push the top speed to 190 mph, and slightly increase the range to 345 miles.
