RUF is Developing an Electric Porsche

Posted in In the News by Noah on September 27th, 2008

As reported by wired.com, the German Supertuner RUF is developing an electric version of the Porsche Cayman. The car will likely produce 201 bhp and 479 ft-lbs of torque, with a top speed of 125 mph and a range of around 175 miles. There is no definitive word yet on the final weight of the car, or what is acceleration figures will look like.

This car will compete with the Tesla electric roadster. Although it has less horsepower, it has significantly more torque, which may put it in and around 4 seconds for the 0-60 mph sprint.

The car will officially be announced in about a month, and hopefully more details will be forthcoming at that time.
