When brainstorming the five best electric sports cars, only one name comes to mind and it's definitely not a Prius. The name is Tesla and this company has the electric car market on lock down. No, not every electric car is designed for 60-year-olds. Aside from Tesla, Exagon, Renault, Audi and Jaguar also have sleek electric cars of their own. Let's count them off.

  1.  The Tesla model S earned the number one spot on the five best electric sports cars list because of the following mind blowing statistics. First the model S boasts a battery that lasts 300 miles per charge. Oh and it only takes 45 minutes to charge the thing. If that's not enough, the Tesla model S can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds. Enough said.
  2. The Jaguar C-X75 Concept exudes excellence and dominance; dominance over every other car on the road. Seriously, this two-seat sports car uses a lithium ion battery pack to power for electric motors placed in each corner of the vehicle. The concept can make it from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and tops out at 205 mph.
  3. The Exagon Furtive-eGT is another refined speed machine capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. With a top speed of 178 mph in optimum lithium ion batteries, the Furtive-eGT is no slacker. It's aerodynamic frame is also guaranteed to catch the eye of any female within the vicinity.
  4. The Renault DeZir Concept is the first model from the newly appointed Renault design director, Lauren van der Acker. To be certain this two-seat electric sports car does not disappoint. The red Concept is a light car at 1800 pounds thanks to its Kevlar body. This electric car travels low to the ground and is sure to cut through the air effortlessly.
  5. The Audi eTron Spyder Concept is an open-top rendition of the two-seat eTron coupe. The Spyder uses two electric motors that can boost the car up to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. While it also uses a V-6 diesel engine to add power, electric battery lasts for roughly 30 miles per charge in pure electric mode.
