For years, electric vehicles (EVs) in India were all about saving money on fuel. They were practical, silent, and efficient. But in 2026, the game has changed completely. We are now entering the era of Electric Sports Cars—machines that are not just eco-friendly but are also faster than some of the world’s best petrol supercars.
From MG’s stylish convertible to BYD’s “dancing” supercar and Xiaomi’s track monster, the Indian market is witnessing a flood of high-performance EVs. If you are a speed enthusiast looking to ditch petrol, here is the latest report on the electric sports car revolution in India.
The New Era of Speed: Why Go Electric?
Why are car lovers switching to electric sports cars? The answer is simple: Instant Torque. Unlike petrol engines that need to rev up to gain speed, electric motors give you 100% power the moment you touch the pedal. This makes electric sports cars dangerously fast.
In 2026, we are seeing cars that can go from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds—a feat that previously cost over Rs 3 Crore in petrol cars—now becoming available at much lower price points.
Top Electric Sports Cars in India (Available & Upcoming)
1. MG Cyberster: The Convertible King (Available Now)
The MG Cyberster is currently the biggest talking point in India. Launched recently, it is India’s first affordable electric roadster (convertible). It brings the joy of open-top driving with the silence of an EV.
- Price: Around Rs 74.99 Lakh (ex-showroom).
- Performance: It does 0-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds.
- Key Feature: It comes with “scissor doors” (that open upwards like a Lamborghini), making it a massive head-turner on Indian roads.
- Why it matters: It is the only open-top electric sports car you can buy in India under Rs 1 Crore right now.
2. BYD Yangwang U9: The “Dancing” Supercar (Upcoming)
BYD is already famous in India for its Atto 3 and Seal. Now, reports suggest they are considering their halo product, the Yangwang U9, for a showcase or limited launch. This car went viral on the internet because its suspension system is so advanced that the car can literally “jump” and drive on just three wheels.
- Expected Price: Above Rs 3 Crore.
- Performance: A mind-bending 0-100 km/h in 2.36 seconds.
- Top Speed: It can hit speeds over 300 km/h.
- Status: While not yet on sale in every showroom, it represents the absolute peak of EV technology from China.
3. Xiaomi SU7 Ultra: The Tech Giant’s Beast (Upcoming)

Phone maker Xiaomi shocked the world with its SU7 sedan. The high-performance version, the SU7 Ultra, is expected to make waves in India later in 2026 or early 2027. It is designed to destroy track records.
- Expected Price: Estimated around Rs 90 Lakh – Rs 1 Crore.
- Performance: It claims a 0-100 km/h time of just 1.98 seconds.
- Power: It produces over 1,500 horsepower, which is more than a Bugatti Chiron.
- Why it matters: It proves that tech companies can build better cars than traditional car companies.
Other Key Players to Watch
- Porsche Taycan Facelift: The original electric sports sedan continues to be a favorite for India’s ultra-rich. The 2026 update brings more range and faster charging.
- Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: This is the “hot hatch” version of the popular Ioniq 5. It is expected to launch soon, offering drift modes and fake engine sounds to make it feel like a petrol car.
- Audi e-tron GT: The cousin to the Porsche Taycan, known for its stunning looks and Iron Man movie fame, remains a strong contender in the luxury EV space.
Are Indian Roads Ready for Super EVs?
While these cars are amazing, Indian owners face unique challenges:
- Ground Clearance: Supercars sit very low. Driving a Yangwang U9 or MG Cyberster over massive speed breakers requires care (though many now come with a “lift” feature).
- Charging Speed: These high-performance batteries need ultra-fast DC chargers (150kW+) to charge quickly, which are still rare on Indian highways.
- Traffic: You can rarely use the “0-100 in 2 seconds” power on jammed city roads. These cars are best enjoyed on tracks like the Buddh International Circuit (Noida) or wide expressways.
Conclusion: What’s Next?
2026 is the year the “Electric Supercar” stops being a dream and becomes a reality on Indian streets. With MG leading the charge with the Cyberster and giants like BYD and Xiaomi following close behind, the roar of the engine is being replaced by the silent swoosh of electric speed.
For buyers with a budget of Rs 75 Lakh to Rs 2 Crore, there has never been a more exciting time to buy a car.
