Electric Porsche 911 Comes To Life!
Porsche has teamed up with German Tuning company RUF to produce the first all electric Porsche. The rechargeable electric vehicle was built into a 911 Cayman mule, and is powered by (get this) 96 lithium ion battery packs! Maybe Porsche should join up for a new Energizer ad campaign…It keeps going, and going and going…
So how fast does an electric Porsche go? Remember, this is not some Go-Green earth loving initiative, it’s a project by RUF’s Tuning/Performance enhancing department. Those 96 power packs can boost this 911 Cayman from 0-to-60 in under 7 seconds. That’s with help from the 204 horse power electric motor and its 480 lb-feet of torque.
RUF’s batteries happen to weight an astonishing 1200 lbs - although they do not seem to weigh down the car too much. Porsche states the vehicle should be able to achieve a top speed of anywhere between 140 and 180 miles per hour - with a full charge of course.
