It would easlily be 5,000+ lbs. That is the current state of battery tech. The amount of cells needed for any decent power level, leads to very heavy battery packs.

To get 300+hp power, you need a 75kwh battery pack minimum. Take the base Taycan for example, that has a 79kwh battery with 320hp. It weighs in at 4600lbs. You want 500hp+, the Taycan GTS has a 94kwh battery pack and weighs in over 5000lbs. i4 M50 weighs in at 5018lbs, these things are porkers.

We are many years away from building all electric true sports cars( meaning a relatively light small rwd sports car with power and range). The battery tech just isn't there yet.
