In this special episode, we sit down with Daniel Davey (CEO) and Mark Tapscott (CSO) of Longbow Motors - the team behind a bold new electric sports car that aims to out-drive traditional petrol-powered performance.

We dive into the technical challenges of creating a high-performance EV-from lightweight construction and battery integration to handling dynamics - and gain insight into the thoughtful engineering decisions that shape the future of sports cars.

They encouraged us to go “weapons free,” so we didn’t hold back in asking the tough questions, leading to a candid and educational conversation that broadened our understanding of what it takes to bring innovative automotive technology to life.

We’re especially grateful for their openness in answering our questions and helping us grasp the complexities involved, including a nod to our earlier, more naive curiosity and opinion on powertrains!
