RUF's electric Porsche

Rumors of RUF's impending electric Porsche were true, except that the actual vehicle is based on a Porsche 911, not the Cayman as previously reported. Powered by a three-phase electric motor that offers about 200 horsepower along with an impressive 480 lb.-ft. of torque, the eRUF Model A can reportedly hit 60 miles per hour in under seven seconds and can reach a top speed of 160. Power comes from a lithium iron phosphate battery pack, which produces 317-volts and 480-amps and is made up from 96 individual cells. A full charge takes a rather long 10-hours, and regenerative braking is included in the package allowing for a range of up to 180 miles. From the outside, you'd never really know that something was different about this 997, except that it doesn't produce that soul-stirring flat-six sound. This is still just a concept and its specifications are subject to change. We can be sure, though, that this isn't the last electrically-powered sportscar set to hit the market.

I like the bumper stickers, they sound funny. :D
10 hours is a long charge time. That's gonna have to change.

180 miles range is quite impressive

Tesla Roadster and this 911 makes me wonder if GM is putting a gasoline engine in their Volt (as opposed to having more batteries) is really just for keeping jobs related to maintenance and parts

That is a good queastion, because while 40 is good, with any type of longer distance, the VOLT is pointless.


I would like RUF to offer a Cayman version as well, maybe then I could consider one. :D
