How many electric sports cars are there? I can only think of 1 other one. And maybe 1 supercar.

Several Porsche models, the Mustang EV, I guess the Tesla Plaid if you consider that a "sports" car.

The Mustang isn’t a sports car. It’s a midsize SUV just like the Ioniq lines. If you include the Mustang then you include the ioniq 5 and 6.

My CR-Z was sportier than the MME, but the MME hauls ass in a straight line.

Yeah I just don’t think you define sports car by how fast it goes or how fast it accelerates. Just cause someone has a sleeper minivan doesn’t mean they own a sports car 😆

A Jeep Trackhawk goes like shit off a shovel - it’s got over 700hp stock.

A Jeep Trackhawk is in no way, shape, or form a “sports car”. It is an SUV with a crazy motor. That’s it. I would never take ANY SUV or truck to the track. People who think it’s a sports car have never driven a sports car, and don’t understand what a sports car even is.

The problem is not that is not sporty, its that it's not a car

Besides the European and USAmerican ones already mentioned, there are a ton of Chinese ones (including the used to be European but now are Chinese: MG and Lotus), the Rimac Nevera, and the McMurtry Spéirling

I don't pay any attention to any of that Chinese stuff. The Rimac was the supercar I mentioned. Never heard of the Sperling, thanks
