This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
E-Ray, e-tron GT RS, any of the i cars (except the i3), Mach-E GT, Taycan…. Yup, no EV sports cars in there, none at all. You’re write the writer had a baiting headline.
Are we really calling the Mach-E a sports car?
Absolutely not. Fast yes, but so is the Saleen F-150 and it is not a sports car either by any stretch of imagination. Or an Audi Q7 V12 TDI, or even a Civic Type R.
A sports car has different qualities than being fast, namely feeling fast. That's how the MX-5 has always managed to be called a sports car despite not being a fast car really.
the MX-5 is also one of the most raced cars out there
